Congratulations to you!
Really great and amazing work!
If somebody says this isnt unique I'll kick his/her a** ;D
Some questions: How long did this project take?
And if you want to / are allowed to say; Wo much did it cost?
Cu
P.s.: I think almost everybody in the forum can talk or understand english.. its noch the problem
Thanks!
As for the total cost I don't know and I have a feeling I really don't want to know either...
A masterpiece.

don't know what else i could say...
apart from
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! ;D
although it's not the most user friendly / ergonomic case (looking
at the position of the slot-in drive), it's the most unique i've ever
seen. there are many casecons out there, but this one simply is
impressive. as one could expect the polished carbon fibre looks
amazing.
when looking at the first pic you've posted here i would like you
to still spent some time in completing the bug's face: add some
kind of teethy mouth to the gap between the middle part (which
contains the eyes and on/off switch) and the lower part (feet).
by this you could hide the little black box and the 6 screws/spacer
(4 silver, 2 red (+2 red on the other side i think)) one can spot
there at the moment.
although i can't imagine anyone looking at your case from the
position you shot your pics from it would make a perfect
case look even more perfect
ratet 10 out of 10.
great work.

The servo controller is connected the +5vsb line for power from the PSU. So with power on and computer off the wings are down. When the computer is started, the normal +5v line from the PSU goes active and pull a relay that switch the inputs signals to the controller. The input signals are simply potentiometers set to different values giving you two distinct positions for the servo to move to (on position and off position). I did however add a switch and one more petentiometer so I can switch between two different "on" positions. That switch is hidden just behind the front panel next to the power button. When the computer is shut down, the +5v line dies and the relay switch back to the original position making the wings go down. Quite simple
+5vsb stands for +5v stand by and is always on as long as the PSU is connected to a socket providing up to 2A depending on brand of PSU.

Thanks,
I left the gap open intentionally since othervise people would not be able to see the sexy AC PSU hidden down there
The black box is the radiator btw.

Interesting thing with this servos and quite simple to realize... 
But it looks so naked down there. Do you plan a faceplate or something at the lower front?
