I was looking at using the CM Cent 590, but now my Saitek Eclipse **** on me and I might be going to some LANs and I can get an Aluminus for free, so I'm probably just going to mod that (590 would be a lot more expensive to mod for what I was planning). I'm guessing an internal paint job, cable management kit, etc etc. Same general cathode and fan idea, but on this case instead. If you guys have any creative ideas that aren't too expensive I'm all ears. I can mod this or the Elite 330. This will be my first paint job experience.

Yeah, I think I know what I want to do. I will probably do the Centurion 590 in the future, but I don't feel like dropping all the money it would cost to do that one atm. Rather upgrade gfx cards, buy a new keyboard, and save up some cash.

Since I'm using the Aluminus, I was wondering what you all thought of this idea.



Doing that with the front panel, and use a logo on the right. I don't really like F1, so any logo or easy ideas would be welcome. My only problem is how do I make the thing I film with the Carbon Fiber. I could bondo in between the ridges, but I don't think that would look great, or I could cut them out and bondo in between, or make a metal plate, but I'm not sure about that either. Any ideas? The outside would be painted mustang red, inside flat black, and all fans would be u-trimmed. I would also probably add a top 120mm blow fan. Not sure what I should do with the vent on the window or the fan because I don't want either there, but it might look crappy and hurt air flow if nothing is there.
