Performed Mods: I build this from aluminium and mdf. Cut out the fan holes and the windows with a dremel. It took my about 2 days to wet sand the case so it was nicely smooth. I cut away the backplate from an old case and used it on my own. Worked perfect. The psu, harddisc and the dvd drives are mounted at the bottom. I dont even hear the hd anymore. The whole case is isolated with neoprene. Sleeved the rest of the cables. Still more to be done. Polished the aluminum. But it does not shine enough. Some more polishing has to be done. Untill next time. See ya

Thanks. The ugly red is going of. I now know how to paint a little.

Hi.

This is what i call a real casemod. I like it very much.
I can see the work you have put in it. Would really like to see the X1950 pro's in crossfire.
I give it a 10. It's worth it.

That's a very nice mod. A real mod at that. Not just some cold cathodes in your eMachine. I'm loving the look! 10/10
(Anyone who disagrees would probably prefer a noobish plastic-loaded case loaded with LED fans and cold cathodes. What they don't understand is that mods like this don't need LED fans and cold cathodes.)
