ok well i took the plastic top and bottom off and turned the case upside down. i will have a bottom mounted PSU now and watercooling will be awesome in it now. i have alot of work ahead of me.



thats the case after i stipped the plastic top and bottom off



thats the case stripped and turned upside down with my MCR 320 on top.



thats my puppy looking at me weird while doing the beginning of my case mods

i will cut out holes for my MCR 320 barbs to go through and drill holes for the rad to mount on the top. i will then fabricate a housing with hopefully resessed handles to act as a shroud for the rad with 3 LED fans mounted on it as well as house a completely new power botton, reset button, and HDD activity gauge hopefully. i will paint the interior of the case either black or dark grey including the mobo trey. i will make a new panel that will be attatched to the bottom of the case with most likely screws for ease. i will cut another hole for more airflow for the rad. there are already alot of holes for this but one fan wil be somewhat blocked. i will get a new cast acrylic UV reactive panel for the side panel replacement because my dog cracked it. i might make plans for a fillport as well on the top to make refilling the res easy. i will also get high quality feet for the new bottom mabye lian li wheels

this is my basic plan, give me some input on what you think and advice.

i am awaiting the inferno of flaming for thinking of turning a case upside down like this

<----- closest I could get to an inferno.

Sounds good, I'm curious how you will create the shroud/handles thing.

Cute dog... but to me it looks like he's looking guilty for cracking your original side panel.

Wheres the best place to get cast uv reactive cast acrylic panels and chrome feet that look classy.

also i decided to paint the inside of my case grey with good paint (reccomend me a good paint that will look like a powder coat >.>) then paint over it with clear UV reactive paint so when my uv lights are up its gunna GLOW green but when they are off it will look like classy grey ^_^
