First Mod-Minecraft Mod

So today I picked up the Rosewill Ranger-M Case for 25 dollars from NewEgg, I just recently semi modded an Apevia X-plorer and I loved the experience and I thought I should try something new that I've never done before.

Here is the case now as it stands (Note: I have not received it in the mail yet, so hold with me)

This is a Micro ATX form factor case.

450

And Here are some Plans I have came up with so far, at least for the side panel.

436

Here is another idea for the side panel

429

I want to do a very clean look on the color scheme I was thinking something like Blue and white, or purple and white. Tell me what you guys think I should do or any suggestions for the mod biggrin.gif

I have a strip of Bitphenix lights coming as well, from the reviews they're much better than the standard Cold Cathodes that you install in your computer.

I like the second window design. It will take extra time to Cut. However if done cleanly it will look nice. Also the 80mm fan in the first side wouldn't serve any purpose that I could see. (other then look cool)

I Love extremely low buget builds thou, What hardware you putting in it?

Cheers, Alder

I'm taking the parts from my very first computer haha, I don't even know the model numbers. But I know its a Micro ATX Motherboard thats LGA 775 and an Intel Core 2 duo running at 1.92 GHZ with two GB of ram, I might use it for an HTPC now that I think about it.

UPDATE! So, as I marked out where I want to cut the window my dad thought because he's older he has to take over. I know which tools to use to do it and yet he still seized to take over. And while I was at work he thought it'd be a good idea to go sand the paint that I had laid down already on the parts. So now I have to go back and try touching up certain spots as you will see on the case. I ended up going with "Iris Blue" and A Satin White.

Arrival: 400

After Cut:
