 Okay so this is going to take me a while to finish but i just want your thoughts and whatknot. I will update this post with updates as i complete them and update title with date change made.
 
My friend gave me this case and i want to put it to use. I plan on doing a gears of war theme. Im going to paint it white with maybe some blood spatters.
 
Specs:
EVGA Z68 Micro
Intel I5 2500K
Corsair Vengeance 8Gb Red
Western Digital velociRaptor 300Gb
EVGA GTX 460
EVGA GTX 460
Cooler Master Geminii Cooler
Logysis 4" red cold cathode
Windows 7
Thermaltake TR2 TRX-650M 650W PSU
 
That being said lets get this started...
 
Here are the pics i quickly took of the case..


Its not the greatest pictures but like i said i just quickly took them.
 
Im planning to cut out a section of the side panel and install an acrylic window. On that window i would place 2 120mm fans on the bottom and have Kirk Carpenter etch in the gears of war logo. I would also mod the front and add a 120mm fan and some flight on off toggle switches.

I think that this will be really sweet once i get it going. Ive spent a couple days just looking up parts and imagining things i can do with this. My biggest problem is the money which is why it will be a slow process, so if you can give me a good deal on any parts that would be great! (Donations are welcome)
 
Anyways thanks for looking and hopefully i can get some updates done soon! (Gotta go buy some spray paint and borrow a dremel from a friend)
 
EDIT: Advice/Suggestions are welcome!! 
 
 
 
 

Looking forward to more pics!

Should be interesting to see! OEM cases usually are a tight fit for some more exotic hardware though

 
Ya I know. Go take a look at my Killer media pc I am still working on doing alot of stuff to it..

Got the dremel. I got the fan hole cut in front just now. I need to play a little BF3 so ill update more later.

not to bash,but the cuts are not the best
but I like what your doing
 
can't wait to see the end of it
 
 
edit
I like to use a drill bit for cutting plastic
and a fan grill is your best friend when making a fan slot, you can use it to make the making whit the Sharpe

I suck with a dremel too LOL

it takes time to get good with a dremel
some how it just clicked for me, but I'm still getting better and have room to improve
 
edit
mods like this is a good way to get your foot in the door
if I recall I put a old dell lcd on a old case and some other stuff like this
now I'm doing some cooler stuff

ahah epic i love it! I should try to get my parents old dell case and attempt the same.  I have never really modded anything but I have some basic tools to get started.

Ahh another good OEM case mod, lol. I've done it a few times in the past for fun. Cant wait to see more pics 

I also have my paint now, just waiting for a non rainy day to begin painting!

I started painting today, so far its looking great imo.




 
Pics taken with my phone, batteries are stil dead in camera.
 
I still need some parts, check out my WTB thread!

P.S. @Voodoo, i cleaned up my cuts a little bit

DraginElite

must .... post ... moar ... pix!!!!

Soon...

Definitely looking forward to moar pics :D

Slight setback painting, everything turned out great but the paint on the side panel decided to bubble while putting the last coat on, sigh now i need to wait for it to dry and sand it out.

Looking good.
 
I cut a whole in the front of my old Cosmos 1000 case the same way.
To hide the bad cut I used some U-Chanel (car door trim molding stuff) and it hid the rough edges nicely.
