    That case looks familiar... I believe I saw it on Craigslist, and I was considering offering to buy it for a long time =P

    I'm in Riverside at the moment though, and wouldn't be back in the Bay Area until around the end of May, so guess I lucked out >.>

    haha, sounds good. I probably would have offered something like $120, since you're including a fan controller... that probably would have been lowballing too xD

    Anyways, good luck on your build!

    OK.....so I removed the back I/O panel from the case Let me just say "riveting" experience. Bad joke sorry......WOW, I had to drill out the rivets(1st time with rivets BTW) and make enough room for the I/O panel to clear the side lip of the case. Time consuming, but I had a blast. And I got to rivet the case back together which was great. I think I did a pretty good job for my 1st rivet job.

     
    Then I had to make some cuts for my MOD as you can see where highlighted yellow........and I received my sleeving from MDPC-X from overseas. Those guyz are a pleasure to deal with and it looks like they have some quality product. So now you have an idea of what my colorz might be for the project
