I finally hit the 10 pound mark on a scratch built case

I've been trying to build a PC case out of aluminum sheet from scratch for months, and the final weight came out to exactly 10.2 pounds with a glass side panel. It's lighter than my old store bought case by almost 4 pounds which surprised me since I thought metal would be heavier. Has anyone else managed to keep a custom build under 12 pounds without using acrylic?

Did you weigh it before or after drilling all those holes for airflow?

Oh, that reminds me - my nephew once spent a whole afternoon weighing his PC case before and after adding zip ties for cable management, @parker_bell. He was so disappointed it only went up by like 2 grams.
