Compubeaver --> How to case mod a beaver - in 29 easy steps!

Step 11 Does it all fit?

After you have the appropriate mass carved out of the beaver, you need to make sure you can fit your components in there. Do a dry run of placing the components inside, and be sure to leave at least 1/4 inch on all sides to account for change in mass after fiberglassing. Be sure that you're able to move your hand arround sufficiently when everything is in there, just in case you need to screw components in later or adjust cords, etc. The more room you allow yourself, the happier you'll be in the long run. It's worth carving a bit more, even though chances would rather poke your eyes out than look at foam any longer.
