Default [Project] Pride of Baghdad Tribute case

I was inspired by the graphic novel Pride of Baghdad to make a custom case honoring the book.

I picked up a computer at the thrift store for $9.88, you cant touch a case for that price!! The computer had Pentium 1 stuff inside and was loaded with this:





I'm surprised the case had a full atx removable mobo tray:



Hard drive rack:



The front panel came with a LED display on it, I have no idea what it's for, it has a ton of jumpers on the back of it:






Chassis:


Started a bit early with the modding, I cut out the suffocating grill for the fan:


Case Cover:




It also had some feet on the bottom:

Debating whether or not to cut a window in this cover,


I have decided not to cut a window as I have let this project sit and just don't have time.
