Hey [H]ard modders

I will be embarking on my second real mod soon, and i want some input/ideas. This is a case i obtained from my dads work, and is just old enough to work. I am going to try and canabalize some 3.5" drive bays from another case to add in.

here she is, full ATX beige box lol.

caseinternals.jpg


here are the internals, slot loading PII FTW!!! (bottom one is a sound card LOL!!!) 4 external 5.25", 1 external 3.5", and 2 internal 3.5". i think i want to add another 2-4 internal 3.5" bays, and get rid of the external 3.5" bay. (using 5.25" adapters)

I am going to cut the shell so that i have a removable side pannel, and add a window along with that.

I think the front bezel is going to be the hardest part. (at least for me lol) I know am going to mod it with dual 120's, and i am going to replace the plastic bezel with metal of some kind with a custom peripheral panel.

So any input is gladly accepted, and wanted. im gonna start sanding this weekend and cutting out un-needed parts. I need ideas for a color scheme and overall design scheme.

go with the popular, black edition, maybe with some red...

dual psu? built-in WC?
 
yeah black and red always sounds cool, i was thinking that anyways. Dual PSU, mabey, ill have to do some measuring. and i want to do built in WC, but i am broke lol and need to keep it low-mid cost till i can get a job. and im hoping to have at least a 75-85% profit margin when i sell it (if i do). i need to start sketching out the design i want to use too.
 
small update

took the bezel off, not much to see.

The rear stuffs were screw on, and i figured i'd take them off.

I took off the rear PS mount w/ 80mm fan mount, the rear mobo I/O and expansion slots, and a internal 2 x 3.5" HDD mount.

What i am thinking now is a 90 degree rotation of the whole case, and a 90 degree rotation on the motherboard. this is gonna require a lot more work, but i think it will look cooler. This will also free up some space for WC'ing and dual PSU's. Hell i even had some crazy notion to mount a widescreen monitor to the side that rotates up to reveal a window if there is room.

For the drive bays, i want to have 4 external 5.25" bays, and 6-12 internal 3.5" bays mounted vertically. (like the raven and i think some Lian Li cases)
