Hello everyone here at OCN, I have been admiring a lot of users case mods, I have to say I am very impressed at a lot of craftmanship, blood, sweat, time, and $$$ spent on peoples rigs to get them looking really nice & pretty for their standards. I joined this forum to see what I can learn from what others have been putting on their rigs and I hav picked up some ideas on the way for what I would like to do on my case, and I am not going to do anything super fancy, just make it look "CLEAN" to my liking and show off to friends of how much I admire computers, and what better way to show them by making this build log and submitting a bunch of pictures 
This is my first time mod a case, so I have put in some thought of what I really want done, I am going for a simple paint job, more like... powder coating the whole chassis and some painted trim pieces, removing a part here and there, putting on a window, and switching out blue led's for pink led's (doing pink led's because I haven't seen it done yet) also because it will give it a nice contrast, i hope So now that, that is out of the way lemme post some pics....
here it is completely disassembled, I did not take any pictures of it when I was sanding it, but luckily 2 days after... I decided to take it to the powder coating shop, which I had called and given me an estimate over the phone, and sounded really reasonable with the charges of paint/labor. I head out to the powder coating shop, and I show them the case, all disassembled, and the lady panicked, and told me what was that and i told her it was the chassis all disassembled, i had to point out to her what piece was what, etc. Other than that she had taken a real good look at it, and given me a more proper estimate and time frame for the project completion, they will be sanding it/ sandblasting the case and also painting it a crystal/flakes/glitter type of white and I was going to get plain white, but then she showed me the Cosmic White sample, I just had to get it, it looked soooo "pretty" in the sun, that I just changed my mind right there and then, thats why I chose that topic title, Cosmic White if any cares to ask, the powder coating service/ prep work together is running me at $50, not bad right? She gave me a low price because she told me if I was gonna need it asap and I told her no, so she told me like in a week I'm going to get a phone call so I can go pick them up so until next week guys, I will be posting pics of the pieces powder coated, until then feel free to comment or throw suggestions on what I should do to the case,
Note: Not going to be having this case watercooled or anything suuper fancy because I am in a budget, and I would like to see what I can build/make with limited funds for this cool/fun project of mine, I already hav a system that is more than good for my needs and I will b throwing it in the case when completed, will want some advice once I hav it all assembled and ready to go, so again, lemme know what you peeps hav in mind ^_^
I will be wanting to sleeve my power supply so looking for some great tips there too I will post my components/hardware later on today, until then, keep modding
