Revamped Case Mod

[toppdogg]

Hey,Hey I have just finished my second case mod (first mod not worth posting not much to it). I got a second hand case from my brother in law and decided to mod it the way i wanted it.I did my best considering mod supplies are limited here in South Africa. Here are a couple of pics check them out and your feed back is greatly appreciated.

Not To Bad. Nice Blue Lighting.

ONe thought, you should realy mod that PSU. Perhaps cut a window in the side so you can see the caps n' stuff. Otherwise, you did realy well with your ingraving. Ten points :)

My next mod is the same as the one you have in the top of the case. 120mm led fan. very nicely done.

u should have been more carful with the spray u got it all over the interior but it looks really good though

i really like that white on the inside, think i'll do that to mine :P

Nice work, the wire management is very clean.

One thing that stands out really sharply is that power supply, with the big ugly sticker right behind the nice engraving. Maybe build a housing for it painted white to match the rest of the interior - it would go a long way toward cleaning up the overall appearance.

Nice work, though! thanks for sharing!

nice job. I notice 2 thigns I would have change though, 1) PSU just like Rankenphile said.

2) I personally don't like the gray with black specs on the chassis. I would have gone with something darker and made it blend in with the outside a bit more.

Otherwise its awesome. Very nice engraving and amazing cable management, I don't have the patie..

amazing!@
