Alright guys, I'm modding what is going to be my next case. I still have to spray paint is and add another fan but this is what I have done today.

And this is the switch:

Please tell me what you like.
I didn't add this (forgot to take picture) but I added two switches from older PSU's to the front.
Also you may want to know how they will hook up, but that is a surprise.

Is there anyway to change the title?

Also can you not look at the Number plate:good:? I didn't see it there while taking the pic:eek:.

Much better. Your case mod looks good :) Now take some car wax and buff out those scuffs :good:

EDIT: Actually, don't wax it if you are going to be painting it. Let me know if you want advice on painting your case. I can tell you how to do it right and get a mirror finish :good:
 
I've painted cases before (and a lot of other things) but thanks anyway. I took the photo's before I cleaned it up a bit with some metho and I filed down the edges.

BTW the painting is going to be more of a good looks thing, like probably something simple like flames so lightning.
 
So everyone thinks flames suck? Well I am decent with the air-brush as I use it a fair bit. I want to have a black background and have blue-ish lightning on it. I have got switches from old PSU's I have at the front (took pictures before I put them on) in a panel that covers where you would put a floppy drive. Where the DVD drive is (on my current computer) there is a 120mm fan there as well, so I will transfer that across. I'm going to go to Dick Smith (electronic store) to buy some lights or something like that.

And to the fan thing "for the sake of uniformity" I have another spare black one that I can use there instead of the see through one. I am going to cut the end off the wires (as I already have for the black one on there) and soldier them to male IDE (whatever they are called) power connectors that also connect to a female connector so I don't lose a plug (even though I am going to buy a SATA2 HDD).

That's it for now, you will just have to wait.
 
looks awesome, just a quick question though, how the hell did you get those edges so smooth? I will post my case mod up at some point that i did a few weeks back now where i put a 120mm hold in the side of my case for a fan to suck onto my graphics cards, but to give you some idea, the edges look terrible without the fan guard on covering em :P . I still think it is good for my first ever mod though

A good jigsaw and file :good:
 
Yeah, you are never going to get it to look perfect. The best way that I have done is to use a hole cutter bit. Problem is finding one that is 80mm.
