I have had this case for a while now and its beginning to look pale to me, i was thinking of a case mod but i would not know what to do with it. I will be starting when it gets warm outside so thats in like a mouth but i would like to start planing now if any of u have any ideas plz help out

these are some old pics of the pc but the only thing changed in it is the cooler i changed the cooler to a hyper 48 if that matters

into water cooling looks like a good case for it? what mods do you want? theres so much i would start with cooling check out how it is the fans and test airflow

i see you like mustangs? why not a "body kit" mod, pimp it out like the car in your avatar

like say, do that paint scheme, then add a radiator to the front of the case with a custom grill with a 120mm sucking air thru it, then tinted windows on both sides? or add a spoiler on top, with air holes on the sides kinda like how a body kit add the fins and air slits in the bumpers, and side skirts. and then a nice 120mm exhaust system?

i like the water but i d k if i have enough mula and the car thing is awesome but do u think i can do that cuz my front is covered by a lex en glass cover

Oldboy

well that glass is a killer, but if you wouldn't mind losing it, ditch it and dremel a nice 120mm hole toward the bottom underneath the floppy drive bays.

Yeah i understand about the money, but do some simple things first like add an exhuast fan hole with a real exhaust tip out the back(cut shorter though to be reseasonable size), and paint the case and then save up for the water.

How interesting--I have that same case in a build for the wife...

Since you have some timelet me take a look a her rig and come up with some ideers.

One thing I do not like about that case is the front panel. The chassis seems adequate but the front panel looks FEH to me.

Sounds like some fun...

random ideas out of my tired mind:
*take some Modders Mesh/perforated metal/wire mesh whatever floats ur boat and attach it along the sides of the 5.25 and 3.5 drive cages (leave room for screw access)
*leave a "box" bend to hide a cathode or LED bar along the top next to the support, but exposed enough that the acrylic can catch the light as well. or you can take some Lazer LED's and put them in the corners of the acrylic and use a little sandpaper to "rough-up" some designs in it.
*take an x-acto knife and etch something in that acrylic (if it's glass nvm) that suits you or get a big applique to catch the light or add a 250mm fan to the side
*cut holes into the mobo tray so you can do a "nip-tuck" on those wires
*spray the inside a matte black, or even a metallic flake green to match that exhaust fan, and get a big UV applique for the space the mATX board leaves. and tuck a UV cathode at the bottom nearest the panel
*another idea since there's so much acrylic space on the panel, top and front. take an x-acto knife or whatever's handy and give it a "cracked" look/theme. add a light source on the edge of the acrylic and you'll get a nice lighting effect

but this is also coming out of a rather sleep-deprived mind so it might not be quite feasable.

sounds good am def doing the wire tuck and painting it the outside is going to be glossy black no matter what but as for the inside i don't really know what ur trying to say and the window is not glass its like plastic or lex en idk but i can cut it can u tell me more in detail what u are saying about the inside paint and the glass?

heh ya, i was at the tail-end of a 36-hr study and work binge.

i meant to lightly "scratch" a design into the plexi. i'll give you sharp lines, but when you add a light source aimed into the edge of the plexi the light travels through the entire sheet. when it gets to the scratches they'll light up and become very noticeable, which is a good effect for plexi artwork. there's a few examples of what i mean with a post CD made:

basically, get a light on the edge of plexi and do a shallow cut of a design into the plexi.
