I just bought a rocketfish the other day and am excited to get started on it which won't be until monday or tuesday but no time to waste. I was just wondering what ideas you guys had? The case will be water cooled later on around christmas when i get the money. Most of the ideas are ideas from other Rocketfish mods. I will also try to keep close attention to detail

Planed Mods
-Install False Floor.
-Cut out side panel
-Murder the inside flat black.
-Cable managemnet...may consist of something to hide the cords on the mobo tray.
-Sleeve All cables, ill wan2 try my hand at sleeving each wire individually
-Stealth DVD drive
-Window around the upper mobo section
-Mesh on the bottom tier
-Work out better Airflow (cut more fan holes not positive on position yet)
-Light it up blue
-murder out a few led fans
-custom metal case feet
-remove both hdd cages and mount one in the drive bays
-much more to come......

Comments and Constructive Criticism welcome PLEASE

ITS HERE!!!

Can't wait to see what you do with it. You have space for three fans on the top and two in the front and one in the rear right now. You get the three fans that came with the case. So maybe do a window or add fans on the panel or more on the inside.
