The L-24 Case
The hardware required to convert the C-24 to an L-24 is pictured here.
The process isn't difficult, but it is a little time consuming. First, remove the button screws around the outside of the case; then attach the lugs. Making sure they are vertical can be done by simply eyeballing things with a tension rod installed.
This isn't the most precise process, but we aren't actually building a musical instrument so we can sacrifice some of the accuracy we would otherwise want to maintain in putting this together. It's more about the way it looks in the end.
Going around one side and then the other, we attached all the lugs, set the drumheads on, and tightened down the rims. It actually really does look like a 24" kick drum. If you wanted to, just like with the C-24, you could have holes cut in the drumheads and mount fans in the sides of the case as well. Also, is it just me or is it a little odd to call the parts of this thing with the drumheads the sides?

Sweet - it's like the horribly misguided and awkward first years of amateur case modding, made new again. And at exorbitant cost! Excellent. I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Perhaps an aquarium tank, coffee table or a large lamp shaped like a life-sized anime figure.CherryBOMB - Wednesday, August 27, 2008 - link

nm found onehttp://www.spotswoodcustomcomputers.com/gallery/Co...">http://www.spotswoodcustomcomputers.com/gallery/Co...
this is without monitor, mouse, keyboard, lan, sound, etc. hooked up. I'm thinking once you hook it up the wires may take away from the effect

Wireless keyboard / mouse / networking.Monitor cable still an issue.

Several Companies make adapters for wireless monitor connections. Though the problem with it is, you are transmitting potentially secure information that anyone could pick up and decode. Having a wireless monitor is like haveing someone peek over your shoulder while inputing a credit card number, password, or other sensitive information.http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/iogears-wireles...">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/ioge...a-kit-ex...

Amendment- Since DVI and HDMI use the same TDMS signal you could also get away with one of those wireless HDMI adapters.http://www.google.com/products?q=gefen+wireless+hd...">http://www.google.com/products?q=gefen+...=Search+...

Check the gallery for the system build. There aren't pictures of the system connected to monitor and keyboard and such, but the rest is there.Pyrokinetic - Wednesday, August 27, 2008 - link
Wow...really different, but not in the cool way. That is just ugly. But, when you gotta keep the homelife happy...That case is prime example why every guy needs an office/den. She can do whatever else to the rest of the house...
