Performed Mods: Interior case Painted (Black) Side Panel Cut and replaced with Plexiglass for a side window
Actually this would be my 3rd case, as the 2nd was the Antec but I didnt do any mods to it. After getting this case from a friend of mine, I decided to cut the side panel and make a window to showcase my PC's inerts. I kinda screwed up on the cutting of the hole with the jigsaw n ended up cutting way to close to the top and on top of that, the cuts were very jagged n uneven. So I decided to slap the plexi on the outside, make a template for the window, stick it on the plexi n spray painted the whole side panel. The result was not so bad but I coulda done a better job, I'm just impatient lol.

stop being impatient.....great specs, neat job painting this case, good job on the side panel, not good cable management.....I give you 10 for effort, 6 for the application.... so 8/10 is about right....shame, cause that impatience will cost you...

Hi tzitzibp, thank u for your comment. Really appreciate it :) I was looking at your work on the silver armor+ n dats a hell of a job u did. Love it.

Yes, i realized later on dat my impatience caused me the messed up :( lol but yeah i try to finish things in one day or two. I was trying to figure out how to arrange the cables, but for some reason, there was a lot of cables, n about half of it were already tucked behind the board, so yeah >,<

I'll work on my cable management. oh n btw, i just got a case to work on, n its the black Armor+ LOL. I've done the inside painting n so far it looks good. Once I get the new parts in, I will assemble it n post it here for ppl to see :)
