XLostSpartanX's First PC case mod.

[XLostSpartanX]

Hi, Ive been modding xbox'x for around a year now, so Dremeling, Airbrushing, and soldering(if neded) isnt anything new.

This will be my first PC case mod so im needing some help. What I am going to be doing is getting a case, modding it to my liking, then installing my current PC in it. After I install my PC in it, I will install lights, but Im nto doign any upgrading or water-cooling to my PC.

Im just want to make sure that this is all that Im going to need to do this project.


Case (see below)
Airbrush and paint
Dremel with different tips
Lexan/Plexi glass
Soldering Iron with solder
Various Lights and Fans
Bondo and Spot putty
PC internals
Time


Im having trouble deciding which case im going to buy, here are my options:


Case 1 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16811154054)
Case 2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811220013)
Case 3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811220016)
Case 4 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811220007)
Case 5 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147024)


Ill update again once all my materials get in.

Thanks,
Nick

Yup. #5 is the winner. A friend just picked one up, and man alive - it is a great case, especially if you're going to do any modding.

i agree with ranken, plus its cheap. though i do not happen to have a friend who recently bought one...:(

I agree - number 5. Its a nice plain case - a blank canvas, ive bought fancy cases before with the idea to mod them but to be honest all that fancy rubbish gets in the way and distracts you. :D Nice clean free of clutter case, nothing to limit your modding mate.

Number 5. All the way.

As for your list of materials, I recomend you pick a theme and begin planning out your mod. Then come back to us with a list of materials and we'll let you know what you need.

numero cinco lost. that's number 5 for all the people who don't know spanish. instead of bondoing real thick just use fiberglass. it itches reallly bad but it's a lot stronger if you do it right. that's what i'm using on mine.
