Mods:
Cut out sized hole beside GPU, cut out 1mm aluminium sheet to fit that hole, cut two holes in the aluminium sheet for 2 80mm GPU exhaust fans. Cut out case below for a 80mm intake fan for GPU.
Put up blue high intensity LEDs.
cut channels in front bezel, painted channels silver(for reflection and cool effects) put up blue lights there, drilled a hole in the front of case, passed wires attached jack and connected up the front bezel lights.

to Do:- fan speed controller, more lights(different colors). exhausts at the top. and finally a paintjob. also may try to integrate a HDD cooler.

i am not sure yet. maybe a black with golden/blue brushed metal artwork. i am a bit busy right now with college exams. i spend 12Hrs at college everyday, so paintjob will be a bit late.

Nice acer mod. I have the same mother board:P


I think it would cool to see some custom paint, and better wiring.
