Well I'm restarting my Rocketfish. I hope to have a second case soon so I can use it for spare parts possibly. This is not a definite and I will make do with my current If I have to. This will take a little while as I'm in between jobs and I don't have the luxury of sponsors so bare with me here.



Planned Mods:

• Round Side Window.
• PA120.2 Mounted Up Top.
• Acrylic Spacer Over PSU and HDD Area.
• Mounting Old Stacker Casters to Bottom.
• CCFL Lighting (Blue on the bottom and Green in the top to add a nice contrast).
• Fan Change Out to Yate Loons.
• Kama Bay In Front.
• Painted Interior.
• Sound Dampening/Vent Coverage.
• Non Vented PCI Cover Changeout.
• Dual CCFL Paddle Switches.
• Case Handles Up Top.
• Wire Management.
• New DD Fatboy Fittings for my blocks.
• New PSU.
• Large Appliqué for Non-Windowed Side Of Case.
• OCZ Ram Cooler

That is an interesting window design but it would be difficult to cut it seems. I wish I had access to a waterjet or laser then I would go all out.

And Mr. Jules thanks for the offer. I might take you up[ on it if my Best Buy sells out by the time i get the money. I'm thinking I won't need the second case if I get a Rad Grill like the one I linked to. The door rubbing bugs me and I'd like to change it but if I can't get another case I can just sand the crap out of it.


I did some looking today and it seems like the round window idea would look good and allow a good view of my internals. I'm aiming for Simple and Formal which is really what this case design is all about
