Get a lian li case and take the whole thing apart and take it to a Chrome shop and have them chrome every thing you would probably be the first guy to have one.It would cheaper than you think to get it done if you shop around.

I modded my case http://www.legitreviews.com/article/484/1/ I dont have pictures up yet of it but I did a fair bit of hacking and slashing to it. It fit all of my water cooling internally very easily (which is the other reason I got it).

well the Chenming 901b is a good clean-slate, but it weighs ~40lbs empty.

you'll have real issues finding examples of mods tho, i know i didn't have any examples or tips from others when i slightly modified it. i think my worklog's around somehwere's

Lian-li's a good ones to mod, although you'll pay a pretty penny for the workmanship already in it.
