Here's the bare case, ready to be mutilated.


Now to remove the HDD cage.
Before:

And after:


And part of the top bay taped off so I can Dremel it to be able to fit the HD5870...


Some Dremel action:


And after some sanding:




Also cut off the front grill to improve airflow:

Stage Three: Painting & Visuals
Ok, so since the red of the HD5870 doesn't really match my color scheme, I decided to cover it up with a bit of carbon fiber vinyl. Here's the original card:


And after I applied the vinyl:

The original plan was to go strictly black and white on the inside:




But I decided to scrap it for a more rugged/icy look:




The final painted frame, with the new Lian Li cage!



My careful masking tape job payed off. The lines look nice and neat.

Good job, you chose good (at least in my opinion) on the rugged-icy look, rather than just white.

This is good. The only thing I don't like is the rugged 5.25 bay area. It would make sense for something like the HAF series but it doesn't quite match the cleaner exterior.
