I bought the Xion Solaris Case from newegg, cause it already had green fans and LEDs inside the front panel, and it was a more convenient case for my room, my old case had a door to get to the disk drives and power button and i hated it... but yea, the case was cool and all but it just didnt have enough oomf for me.

Here is a pic of the finished case full body
I cut out the cheesy X design from the side panel and saved it for scrap metal

along with all my other hardware inside i replaced the front LED fan with a new Apeiva 80mm green led fan, and then installed 2 8 inch green cold cathode light bars on the top and bottom behind the case door for some extra light, which i can turn on or off with a nice switch in the back of the case.
as well i sleeved some of my cables but by the time i wasted all the largest cable sleeve i remembered i wanted to buy a new PSU... so i stopped :P

I love the look of Top exhausts and this case didnt come with one, so i broke out the dremel and cut a 80mm hole on the top of the case, and remember that Cheesy X design on the stock case, well i cut out the center circle part of that and used it as a vent cover :P
I also installed 2 Nice steel Handles to carry the case from place to place :)

Heres an angle from the front of the case, with my awesome NZXT touch screen fan controller and temp monitor

Now that i have my dream case, i have a Brand new GALAXY Nvidia GTX 460 OC coming in the mail, along with a new Arctic Cooling Ceramic Heatsink, and an actual Fan grill for the side window fan (right now its just a chunk of plexi from my old cases window i cut out of it)
Well thats my Case, hope you guys like it :) constructive criticism is welcome as well as other cool ideas :)
