    The dimensions are 600 x 420 x 200 LxDxH I've designed it so the trays can easily be slid in and out without needing arms like an octopus to hold the rest of the thing together. Just unscrew the front or the back and slide the trays out. Once you've disconnected all the cables and wires
    2 filtered intake fans would still be the best option, just create outlet vents that create airflow across your heat sources.

    nice looking build you 've got going on there, the only thing i would change would be the location of your sucking fan, I would move it over to the rear of your green laser.. to only aid in even heat removal.. where you currently have your fan located I would think all it would do is suck and blow in that little area......

    I like your side handles...

    Its actually happened my case has now arrived and the build process has started. Here are the pics as requested.

    This first pic is just of the lower level for the PSU'd driver boards, scanners etc, the sides, hanging bracket and the bottom plate. The scanners drivers and PSU are still to be installed.



    More pics to follow as build progresses
