Okay, so soon I will finally be going through with the case mods I've had planned for the past couple of months (hopefully). Before getting started, however, I was wondering if anyone had some advice on what case to get before I start.
Right now, I have an Apevia X-Cruiser mid-tower in black with blue LED fans in the back and top and two green LED fans in the bottom-front. I have a Thermaltake SpinQ that I would like to use to replace my current CPU cooler, but there is not enough room in the X-Cruiser with the side 80mm fan to install this massive cooler. So, I've decided on getting a new case that is able to accommodate the SpinQ, and I have opted to do the case mods that have been floating through my mind over the past couple of months. This is an idea of what i would like to accomplish: 1. Add my own plexi-glass side window, probably just a simple design 2. Add a pair of Spring Loaded Case Handles 3. Add a 120mm Billeted Blow Hole in the center-top panel 4. *possibly* Add a turbine 120mm intake fan, bottom-front of the bezel 5. Replace traditional Power/Reset buttons with Vandal Resistant Momentary Switches 6. Add a 4-channel fan controller in one of the 5.25" drive bays OR a 4-port Toggle Switch Billeted 5.25" drive bay cover with 4 toggle switches for fans and cold cathodes. I am also purchasing a new Accelero S1 Rev. 2 w/ Turbo Module for my Sapphire 4850, since my old one has long since been placed on my old Sapphire 3850 and I am currently running on the crappy stock cooler. I would like the color scheme to be a simple silver accent on a black body, and I am not sure as of yet what color cathodes or LED fans to purchase. Does anybody have any advice, ideas, criticism, or input? Thanks! Sccrfreak342

Antec P180
Apevia X-Supra G type. Honestly, the turbine 120mm intake is useless because the new cases have 2 oe 3 front intake 120mm fans. id get a Antec 300 or a NZXt Tempest.
