To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Got This case from newegg for $15 after rebate, I want to do some mods to it but just thought I would ask the great ppl hear at TPU for some mod Ideals

Mods:
As far as hardware I was thinking about the core 2 duo and not sure about the motherboard but want to keep the hardware simple because the case is small. maybe 1 good video card and 2gigs of memory with 2 good hard drives to raid 0.

Paint would look good inside, and on the side panel there is a little window, I would like a bigger one but it has some fake plastic vents in the way.

I experimented with my old motherboard tray, and one thing idea that popped into my head was cutting a box around where the CPU location - this leads to easier cooler replacements, like if installing a Zalman or some water cooling.
