So, I was digging through my garage again and I found a old case I had, I was going to throw it out anyways so I thought, "Heck, why not mod it and use it as a lanbox?". I have nothing to lose anyways if the mod goes bad then it goes bad, oh well. But, it didn't go bad, in fact, it went GREAT.

The Victim:








Computer Case plus one of these things:


Some tape:


With a few clamps:



.............And a bit of elbow grease:










More Work




ALOT of filing


Equals:








However... we are obviously not done yet are we?

Moar pics have been uploaded. I'm pretty sure this mod is done. I might put a few more pic of later when I add some LEDs into it.

I'm loving the new look I think I may have to do something like this with my old, crappy Rosewill case. Should make for a fun project +1 on using a pneumatic cutoff-wheel as well. That's what I've been using so far, but it's much sloppier than using a Dremel.

Overall, I give it
