The front and top covers are from surplus military radio equipment. |

The stainless spring loaded pins have ball bearings that stick out from the end to keep them in place. The pins were for holding a military trailer cover in place. |

At the bottom left and right you can just see the ball bearings inside the stainless pins... |

I had my computer in this case for two or three years... There are a few issues like having the MB flat on the bottom means any piece of dust or crud that gets inside just sits on the MB...
It was also a real pain to replace any of the components on the MB like like the video card because I made it so cramped. I still have the case, but its currently empty.
