thanks a lot arg-ist, first of all, im looking forward how hardware could be into the case, and also with the om/off buttoms, seems little bit complicated, i like the case because it has good space, also dont know exactply how the back part must be cut and replaced,
for example:

There are alot of mods with this case.

I am not interested too, with original parts . I used only empty case.To use it with an ATX MB you must change the backside of the case . becouse of I/O slots and fanns..

You can make a half mask like this

and mount it as back panel

or you can use a MB tray with backpanel

and mount it so

My goals fort his Project were preserve the look of the case at outside ;and fit my PC s hardware including a full ATX MB. And watercooling. and used original fan grills.

Therefor ı draw at corel a new backpanel komplet, an cut them at waterjet

Bended it as original

You can see it at coming days.

Todays ı am busy doing a different watercooling system fort his case.

You can write me if you have any questions to

arg-ist@hotmail.com

The main problem is PSU and their place. this is my

and as MB and backpanel you use it from an old case.

Seems a good place to put it, I was wondering to place it mostly in the middle of the case, but that maybe a good place,

I'm planning to get my current hardware there, so there should be enough space for:
· Full ATX Board
· 2 HDD's, 1 SSD,
· PSU
· Thermaltake Water3.0 Pro.
· Optical Drive
· At least 5 Fans, 3 Front, 2 Exhaust,

I'm pretty sure there is more space than I need, I'm pretty sure it will work, and could be nice If I can take advantage of almost every inch of free space in, mostly for a good cable management and air flow,
