I'm almost finished, though there's still work to be done with the motherboard tray and backplate. I can't seem to find a single place that sells for example a Lian Li motherboard tray and backplate combination or anything similar. I also noticed that there's quite a bit of empty space in the case. That's not necessarily a bad thing as it will allow for bigger components, however it's not exactly cost-efficient .

How much do you think this case build will cost?

And i have not read all the text in this post but what paint you intending to use?
I'm not exactly sure about the cost just yet. I'll check how much aluminum I'm gonna need and then contact the supplier, though I'm not gonna be able to do that until I'm sure I'm not going to be forced to change the design significantly.

The finish is going to be brushed aluminum with a couple of layers of clear coat so that fingerprints don't show.
