At least that is where it began it's life. It was led to my hands with just a small vision, a small vision that will hopefully turn into a huge piece of art! (emphasis on HUGE! lol)

CLICK ON ALL PHOTOS FOR A LARGER VIEW!

So let us begin:

The majority of these mods were to improve an already awesome case. It has been the greatest pleasure to work on, and I thoroughly enjoy this case. These mods were to improve functionality, and cosmetic appearance. While maintaining an overall theme, that will all be revealed in the end.







Then I quickly got to work ripping out the front hard drive cage:





Then the reason for ripping that out, was to IMPROVE airflow!
What does that best well yes of course a couple front fans!





and some sanding on the main frame, for prep and paint later.

More pictures in the next few posts.

Enjoy!



Ok next step was to get to cutting out my Window mod to show off all that fancy new hardware!

Let the cutting begin!








You can see the first cut was rough, but right where I wanted it, after some sanding to get everything nice and smooth she look pretty again! :mrgreen:

Next was to mod the inner trim, so that it would hold a piece of plexiglass nicely in place! Then cutting the plexiglass to fit in snug! :mrgreen:






Once I got to this point, I realized that to get everything fitted as nice as I want it, and to give the inner look I am going for I needed to take it one step further.
Yes this one is a little crazy but all will be revealed in the end. :bounce: :bounce:

The cutting and the aftermath!





Finally the result!





You can also see the large hole in the top, for a little added cooling.
