Default First Case Mod

This is my first time modding a case so I want everyone's honest opinions and criticisms.

This is the case before the mod.

not bad. Did you consider a side window? True geeks like to show off the guts of the computer.
For a first mod, great job. Looks clean and professional.

if you get a dremel I can recommend the XPR 400 6/90 kit for $127 off of Amazon. It comes with not only the 2.0 amp wired dremel tool, but also the flexi shaft and jigsaw attachment, as well as others (6 total) and 90 various bits. The jigsaw (multi-saw they call it) will make quick work of case panel cutouts like for a window It can use standard jigsaw blades. For a case use blades for metal, with a minimum of 18 teeth per inch. If you use the cutting disks you can get the 1.5" reinforced ones (5 pack 5 bucks) from mnpctech.com, or Dremel has a kit with the EZLock and reinforced cutting disks.
