Anybody have any bright ideas on how I would go about repairing this damaged case. It is really and eyesore but I got this monster of a case so cheap I had to bite.

I really want this to look as good as possible, I am going to take a dremel and clean it up but am at a loss after that.

Are you looking to clean up the case? Or just the stuff inside? The picture is the just of your radiator and some tubing.

you dont unless you want to drill out a couple rivets and replace that support (which you will probably have to fabricate since it wont be available as a replacement.

maybe if you clean up the edges of the cuts really well you wont even be able to tellthere was ever a section there. you could also paint the interior of the case to help hide it

I don't think there is a "quick fix" for any of this.

Well I do not need a quick fix I am pretty handy and between friends have access to a decent amount of tools.

If you've got the ability to do this, do it.

Or you could brace it with another piece of metal (aluminum?).

You could use J.B. Weld or some other epoxy and some 90 degree supports to anchor a piece of aluminum in there flush with it. Clean up the edges first and it shouldn't look that bad after.

Yeah that is kinda what I was thinking. I dunno, I was thinking about trying to find a coolermaster sticker or something decorative that I could use to cover the whole area after I clean up the cut.
