Default Need advice on first mod

i have some free time on my hands and some spare cases lying around so i wanna do a case mod or two. one of the cases is from a computer i found in my aunts garage. Its a micro atx but i think it has potential because its fairly basic so my options are wide open.

and this was what was in it

Intel Celeron 2.4ghz on a S651M mobo.
i have three ideas so far, adding a window to one side and painting a design on the other. the paint i would use for the whole case is Dupli-color Mirage which has the cool effect of being a different color depending on the angle of the light and that u look at it. i would also add a "blow hole" on top. and finally i wanna add the turbine effect to the front of it.


i made a mock up using blue painters tape and a 120cfm delta.

so does anyone have a suggestions or comments and also are there any faqs on how to add windows and bondo the front up?

I think micro-ATX cases rock - you should find plenty of examples of that on the net, most people use bondo
