I think a good definition of "mod" is a "different" cm690. As far as the optical, it would work fine if you could turn the side panel into a door and set the bay flush with it, would be plenty of room behind, the big concern would be making it look professional. Keeping nice rounded edges and maintaining the cutout so it can be applied to the tray would be harder than anything I would think.

Well I decided to change that side idea as it was going to be way to much of a pain... but I you want to get more details about my case go to my [Project] Unwanted.. I dont want to hijack this thread.

Yeah me too, it'll be a month or two but I will update with pics along the way

One quick question, does the honeycomb plastic lift out easily or do I have to cut it out? I'm also considering a paint job, but some advice on what colour I should spray the internal would be good.

You have to cut the honeycomes out. hmmm you could spray it the standard black

whatever you do, take your time, very hard to fix a botched paint job. Do it once, do it right.

edit: btw, as far as a logo goes, i'm going to try to contact coolermaster and see if they could provide something for us. worth a try.

Please remove me from the "stock" list

I cut out the inside of the top panel to fit a fan under it.... the Heatsink was blocking the internal fan slot and I wanted a fan there..... Its pumpin out lota hot air now!

LOL.. i really doubt CM will do it. I think i wanna get someone from OCN to do it. im pretty sure someone in the OCN community have great photoshop skills and would be willing to do it (too bad my spring break is over otherwise id try my rusted stills at it) lol
