Hey i have this big ass server case which is very sturdy and good built quality.

Now i want to pimp it up a bit but have no idea what i should do. Only problem is that the drive bay or the case is very wide so fitting a dvd rom or drive one need some brackets or such. Any ideas on how i can make it easier.

I can also fit in 2 mobo's that's how big the case is. Offcoarse i need to cut out a piece of the side panel and insert a see through side.

So some ideas pls!

geeze, that thing is huge!!!! i just wonder how airflow will be affected through such a massive case. i would imagine cooling would suck. but you could drill some holes in the motherboard back plate to make cable management a little easier. or just hide the wires behind the motherboard itself.

i think it would look cool painted too. is any of that stuff removable, like the hard drive cage? paint the case one color (black) and the removable parts (if any) another color or 2 (red, orange, blue, etc). or get some UV wires and throw in a cathode tube light or some LED's to show off the cables.

these are just some simple suggestions off the top of my head, but there is a lot you could do to that case.

Thx for ideas dude, yeah she is HUGE, but i also think one can really play around and make something nice out of it.

Concerning airflow, i think i can slap some 15 fans in there thats how much space there is.:laugh:
