A bigger case is always better for a powerfull rig, but the point of this mod, as pointed in the worklog was bringing back a prefab classic case (this specific unit being 10 years old) to life, the hardware choice was merely what I had avaliable : )

But you are right, to anyone planing a mod with this kind of hardware (or more modern and better) I agree with srkrono, and you should choose, if you can, a bigger case. A perfect example of this is where this very hardware was before, a full size atx case (the one in my previous mod A+ El Diablo Fallout Cause Mod)

Been wanting to do that for a while now but it´s a question of budget really, really looking forward to do so in my next project (which hopefully, should happen within a month!)

I voted 8/10 because:

You've done alot for the case you're working in. I had owned one of these awhile back and they're a pain to work in. This is a beast. Great job with the theme.

I also recommend maybe getting a larger case? It might help you place more lights and cable manage easier. I prefer full towers just because of that.
