lost of post but not many pics........
is there a thread or section where they are or is this the gallery?
i'd like to start posting some before and during pics!!!!!!!!
I have a case i bought about 4 yrs ago when they still had a chasis and we are going to strip it to a shell and start with a few well placed fan mounts and rearange the pos. of the drives and put ducting in for the harness. I'd like to get the p/s out of the case (still working on where to put it) and give the insides a custom paint job inside. Then fabricate a full ali. shell that hinges everywhere!!!
I'd also thought that it would be good to put more room behind the m/b mounting plate so I can put some fans in there too! I will remake the m/b mount out of 3mm ali. checkerplate. I have designed and built a rolling tunnel light 175mm in dia. and I hope to be able to fit this in as well.
where do we post the pics?????????????
i've got some early ones to post!

How to balance radical with practical does make one ponder.

You case modding philosopher? Want mine very pretty - rainbow - big fan be pot of gold at end.

If it makes me a philosopher to want my case to reflect the power of its internal components as compared to some silly fashion statement, then put me in that category. I want my modded case to scream: "Look at me I can kick your butt."

I think 3 categories would be fine; one for minor mods, one for "all out" mods, and one for links, how'to's, etc for case modding.
I recently bought an Enermax case wtih window and blue light, but, thanx to you all found a great site on how to paint by cd/floppy drives. Painted them silver to match the case front and looks really great. Also had to move blue light switch since it was on the back of the case. So, although my case came with some mods, I've also made some myself, which is half the fun.

And do we get to see the final product?

i'm going to take pics this weekend and post. One of the things i really like is the way i cleaned up everything inside the case.

What kind of silver paint did you use to match the drives and the case?
