Thank you all for your input. I want to start a business sometime this year and by the amount of PMs I got most like the the tower case but REALLY like the SFF ones.

Do you think I should concentrate on building a SFF case that I could sell? (Plug in wiring instead of the solder on version)

I think if you can do mods like this and sell them then A LOT of people will go with it. I know of one person on here that does a service like that. This could get you into the business, and allow some great things to go your way.

Mkmods, one more thing, add heatsinks to the ICs (mosfets, etc) and make a mesh cover for the rear IO blocks.

I got banned form ocn because I joined BPC

The owner or whoever said you can't stay active there or be banned here. So I literally said F you and went to bpc until it kinda slowed down too much there.
