It was, I used a paint brush to add the glue to the MDF panels. Then lay the veneer on it and get some heavy pieces to place on top of it so you can great enough pressure. It all has to happen fast else the glue will dry out.

The curve on the top piece, and the interior of the fan slot seemed difficult to do. Having some piece of 50cm long without bubbles or blade marks is good !

the inside of the fan hole was pretty easy the veneer pushes it self against the wood. The part where the hole side was a curve was a bid more tricky.

Nice job !
But why do you add a fractal watermark instead of an "Alain-s" one ?

We have to add the watermark of the case manufacture. Haven't really thought about making my own and adding it to. :p

Lol Tesla
and yes I had to cut all the wood pieces to create a mold for the bending. It was pretty time consuming.

Thank you MacGamerFR ^^
Small update received a few packages with hardware and watercooling. I wont go to deep in to that because I didnt had to time to take pictures of all the parts and taking them out of the boxes for some extra pictures.
I had a bit of back luck with the package from the watercooling. Lucky noting got damaged.
once I had the parts I could start with giving them a place in the case. Used 2 Micro reservoirs from Swiftech to make a hardline connection between the top and front of the case.
Next up was the pump.
The pump will be placed under the 3th reservoir that will be attached to the radiator. For that I cutted some alu pieces to creat a new attachment for it.
That was it again only a few more thing that need to be made and the case can be painted.
See you next time.

Thank you guys, got a little more to show of for now.
Started to ad some gold leaf on the inside of the case. This material can be used for all kinds of project most people you it on fall frames to give them a old look.
Sanded the inside of the panels and applied glue on it afterwards. Then you wait a 10min before you can lay the paper on it.
Also added some extra detail on the case using red paint to give the pc some extra color.
And total picture of the pc.
The rest will be for next update.
