Default case modding help

I've been looking into modding cases, but i'm not that experienced at it. I've been wondering what a good case is to "practice" modifying and so i can use it for the computer im going to be building in the next few months.

There was another member asking where to get free or cheap old cases to mod. If all you want to do is experiment or practice, any old case will do. Members suggested going to the salvation army, goodwill, or computer shops(they have old cases they might give you one) .

Ok, what do you have in mind? Do you want a used or new case? Do you want a full tower or mid tower? Is there a color preference?

Recycling centers often have old server cases. Those seem perfect for what you want.

Ya, a place where you go to give them your cans and bottles and stuff. They give you money for the crv bottles. You also drop by other stuff to recycle it.
