That is the case what im thinking of is maybe a the case in a Destroy all humans! style? With mesh at the very front, and behind the case itself holding 3 12cm fans??? UV green paint green sleeving...

But im stuck... Gimme ur ideas!!!

(for you people who dont know what destroy all humans is!! http://www.destroyallhumansgame.com/ )

*EDIT* http://www.gamerevolution.com/images/games/ps2/destroy_all_humans/destroy_all_humans_002.jpg Maybe in the style of the ship ;)

*EDIT 2* How about those bulgin switches on a "Control board" like on a space shuttle to power the cold cathodes etc =)

agree'd!!!!! figuring out how to take these bloody 5 1/2" and HD trays out Well hard with a screw driver xD

that thing is so ugly, i say disassembly should involve some sort of explosive. lets spread that thing over as large an area as possible, in the shortest amount of time possible.

trust me... Im not using the front ive decided... Since i dont use Cd drives... What im gna do is... Dismantle the HD bays from the CD bays and get rid of the CD bays and place the HD bays somewhere else... then Straightening the front and adding 3 12cm fans at the front of the case... Then a mesh door infront of the fans =)

*EDIT* updated my tools flat screwdriver and a hammer now ;)

Just thought... Do dremels support being able to cut 20cm holes :S Never seen one before! im a dremel virgin ;) xD

*EDIT* which multi tool is the best?

[ajmilton]

you can cut pretty much any size hole you want to with it. you jsut have to decide how many cutting disks you want to use up :p

a jigsaw or coping saw would probably be better for the rough shape, then file or dremel to the actual shape

Argh... Why is case modding so annoying.. Ah well... hopefully with more experience i will be better =)... COSTS TOO MUCH TOO!!! will someone rob a van and get us unlimited amount of sand paper, BONDO!, dremels and spray paint... OOO and cable sleeving!
