I'll be keeping an eye on this mod, a good friend of mine has this exact same case for his gaming rig. I'm interested in seeing what kind of ideas you come up with for it.

I have the case sitting in my room right, now waiting for some ideas to brew in my head.

I would get started on your banner, but I am not clear on the title. Is it "Blue Barrel", or "Close but no cigar"?

[TheGreatSatan]
