New Build

[Maxx]

Okay its time again for a new build and i have just come across an old cicero case in my closet with a p1 mobo and a really old processor. i dont really have any idea's for the mod right now so if you guys have any ideas there greatly appreciated (its an old beige case with the removable hdd cage) ill get some pics of it up tongiht when my digi cam batteries charge but im leaving it up to you guys to leave some good idea's

You could do what I had planned to do to mine (until the rents made me give it up )

* Spray Paint the case
* Cut a hole in one of the sides, and add nice lights/cathodes/whatever, but make sure your PSU can handle it
* Get some glowing IDE cables

i was planning on stripping the case down,sanding it,doing all that jazz then painting it a high gloss black with a flat black or glossy black inside, getting a turbine type fan on the go with the front,top blowhole's (2 probably). A window cutout/etch and stealth drives. anything else guys?
Here are the pic's:

i will i think this case has alot of possibility's and what do you guys think for a name? im thinking since its going to be all black maybe project midnight or Nightfall? lemmie know your idea's

 

[reggie_da_man]

It's a good idea however it's kind of stupid to make a PI look so nice. What I would do is buy a cheapass ATX case from www.newegg.com and mod that case. Then put your good computer in it. Unless of course that's an ATX case, then mod away!

 

[reggie_da_man]

Oh wait, it is an ATX case, my bad. Good luck with your mod!
