[Build Log] CM Storm Scout Case Mod

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Alright, I've mustered up the courage to do my first ever case mod. I'm mainly here looking for suggestions on how to do this and what to use, etc etc.
What I plan on doing is making the side panel window much larger, and covering up the power supply with a cover across the whole bottom of the case. I will also remove the Drive Bay and put the CD drive on the bottom of the case, along with the hard drive, to make room for 2 140mm fans up top. I might just be the first one to ever do this to a CM Storm Scout tongue.gif

For a better understanding, here are some pictures that I drew up in MS Paint.


^ Front Panel of Case ^


^ Front of Case ^


^ What I plan on doing inside of the case ^


^ And the new side panel window I plan to put in ^

I haven't started yet, but this will be my first contribution to OCN that I've made since I joined. thumbsupsmiley.png

Any suggestions or tips on how to mod and tools to use, etc? Thanks alot! biggrin.gif
