I'm trying to think of some cool mods. All my previous custom built systems were just put together, nothing really that custom about them. This new system will be; AMD 955 cpu, Foxxcon mb, OCz RAM, Hiper PSU, CoolerMaster Gemini II dual-fan cpu cooler, dual seagate barracudas, dual XFX 4870 vid cards, and my current optical drives. I ordered 7 of those Cooler Master 120mm fans...5 for the case(replacing 3 that came in the case since they're not that good), and 2 for the cpu cooler.

To start off...

I would like all air being pulled in to the case to be filtered to some extent since the dust here is bad and I smoke in my room, I don't want the new system I'm building to get as dirty as the one I'm using now.

I would also like all the wiring to be tucked, or as tucked as it can be since there will be quite a bit of it and I would much rather shot off the internals rather than a rats-nest of wiring. I'm pretty good with soldering, wiring, etc...will doing a wire tuck involve this? I'll need to know so I can buy a few spools of wire if it's needed, and some more solder.

Thinking maybe some lighting in there...I'll have 7 120mm red-LED fans in the main part of the case so I think that's sufficient, but the front may be a little lacking when it's all done. Has anyone come across any cool light bars that could fit vertically behind the front panel on the storm scout case? Thinking one on each side would look cool, seen it done just don't know where to get the lights.

Are there any tips/tricks to the above mods? What about walk-throughs or youtube vids covering these? I want this system to look flawless, and stay looking that way for a long time. I'm also open to other suggestions for mods!

in answer to your first question you should not need to solder anything to hide wires. There wont be much mooding needed since the case already has most mods built into the thing. What i would do is change the lighting to green just to be different. somthing like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103062

Case comes with dust filters on the front so maybe only get/make dust filters for the sidepanel.

There's more than enough adequate holes for cable management. My wiring looks nearly perfect(IMO). I cut a hole below my 24 pin power connector on the motherboard tray and made a custom SATA cable.

You should make a false bottom:
