All the parts are here, and I do have some new pictures to post, however I just need some time to work on it.
Well keep us updated trueg, I really like the idea and once I see your finished concept I am gonna try something like this. Since I am on a m-ATX board there isn't too much room for a WC system inside

I will hurry it up then so I am not done too late for your flea market season.

I did manage to get the Kitchen draw liners onto the inside of the case, and I must say it looks and feels very professional.

No rest of the weary (modder)! Done the G5 mod and now onto the Waterbox.

I lined the inside of the toolbox with the reinforced rubber draw liners, which seem to be surprisingly durable.



Here is the tentative setup:



Feeww close quarters!



Here is the other item to be done, dremeling off the rivets for the old handle, and adding a new handle (After the top gets plasti-dipped of course):

Or plasti-dip it, or strip it, or maybe see about applying some for gun bluing?

I am open to any and all idea's. I just want it to not look tacky, or unprofessional, thats all.
I didn't see anyone tell you what that color is so I will chime in. That is silver vein and it's powder coated. I have been wanting to spray that color for a long time and no one wants it lol.
