I just found these pic hiding on my terabyte disk and I wanted to share them with you all. So on with the show;
 
That little blue light: Some/most people might agree that the use of the color blue is well played out when it comes to lighting. A long time ago when I had the Kandalf case I did this mod because as I said; That color blue is just plain boring to look at. Especially when you have to look at it all the time. So I came up with this idea. The bulb I replaced the existing was the exact same size and type. Only difference is that it pulsated (or breathed) in color. I think I got the bulb from a Tt Xaser V Damier V5420AU Black Mid Tower Computer Case. Anyways...here's what I did
 
 
First I removed the housing and the mirror. 

 
Then I used an old Tt fan grill I had laying around and cut it to size using a dremel
 

 

 

 Smoothed the edges

And then I re-attached the Tt grill/housing
  
   
Tuh-Duuhhh!!

    IMO Tt is notorious on adding some hideous visuals to their cases. One in particular is that checker board "crap". I mean what's up with that!!! So being that I'm Native American, I felt that it would only make sense or appropriate to replace it with something that represents me.
     
    The original:

     
    I replaced that "Crappy" looking checker board design with some reflective feather stickers

    Nice mod. Cutting the pieces off the emblem looked like it was a nail biter. Very little room to work with from the edges.

    Sometimes the very dry or obtuse senses of humor get mistaken for sarcasm. Nicely done mod.

    You're are absolutely right!! There are some forums out there that don't have no sense of humor at all. That's why I don't go there no more. EVGA is the only forums I belong too now

    Brain storm, Stand back and look at the case. View it at different angles. Vision how YOU would've designed it. Try to implement your personality in the mod. Find the case flaws that YOU think that needs to be changed. Use your creativity And above all, approach the mod in question tactfully and make sure you have the right tools to complete the mod. These are just my own ideas/suggestions.
