Raidmax Ares makeover project

[master6]

hey pplz

this is my first full fledged mod, so bear with me. the base chassis is a Raidmax Ares Mid tower case. i will post initial pics this weekend when i start.

What i am gonna do:

Paint the chassis black to match the rest of the case
remove the front door
remove a part of the front bezel to improve intake flow
some krazy cable management
paint some logos on the window
mabey modify the HDD cage to allow for longer graphics cards
An LED Acrilic footstep mod
adding cathodes

as i said this is my very first full fleged mod so wish me luck!!! i am gonna buy a sandblaster to start doing more serious case mod work soon, and my next project will be a 10 year old behemoth of a full tower that ran WIN98. i wont tell you anything there...

You're using a video camera to record the process and these are individual frames? Looks like it at least
