I decided to buy a Lian Li PC 70 (hopefully this friday), and I want to mod it.
Without any more say, here are my plans (my first sketchup plans so please be wary):
This is the overall view of the case, I plan on cutting a big portion of the side panel, and putting a big plexi window which covers the whole side panel and I also plan on painting the whole thing black. By the way, the black device on the front is the total watts viewer from Thermaltake.
The blue part on the front is a piece of plexi covering the 3 bays at the bottom which will be home to this LCD display (http://www.pc-cooling.ch/product_info.php?cPath=7_287&products_id=3366) The tube things at the bottom are white Cathodes, I hope to elevate the case so that light appears from under. There will be 9 80mm fans and 1 120mm fan (if budget allows)

On the top I plan on having 2 blow holes along with two white cathodes, these will be covered by frosted plexi (I didn't forget the fan grills, just couldn't find any sketchup models for them).

And this is a view from the back, NOTE: the big hole is for a 120 mm fan, but I don't know if I'll leave it there.

And on the plexi window I plan on having some kind of frosted design, I want to hide those drive bays which don't add very much whilst still having the whole side panel in plexi, so here is what I came up with:

It's sort of like scan lines, the gray areas will be frosted.
It's what I have right now until I have more time for the sketchup model, I would love to have some of your feedback and I would love if you would point out the problems you see. Thanks,
As a side note, I plan on having Red, White LED fans, but the PSU has a blue LED fan.
