Well, today looking at all the old modding stuff I had laying around, and looking at my pitiful and crappy case (While I have modded many peoples cases, my own poor case is badly neglected!)
The case: a Lian Li 6070
The plan of attack: Make this the ultimate Blue case. The entire case will be powder coated blue, with a large window on one side showing the completely blue interior (Blue UV reactive sleeving, blue everything). There will be a blowhole in the top, and possible two blue LED fans on the window, in opposite corners. Cold cathodes and superbrights will light the inside.
The Fog mod: two nozzles (tubes? dunno) will be posistioned right above the top of the case (in the front). There will be 3 blue LEDS shining down, illuminating the fog as it trickles down the front.
Thoughts, comments, any good ideas? I am about 75% sure I will do this mod, wondering what you guys think and how it would look. I will be trying to get a blue/silver look with this, but mainly blue
 
I like the fog idea but how are you planning on doing it?

I would try to make the tube's that push the fog out completely hidden so maybe the fog would be pushed out of 6-8 little holes in the front of the case. I think it'd look better than to have something coming out of the case to do that.

Of course I'm not sure how to do it but I still think it would look cool.
 
Don't use glycerin based fog. It's really nasty, gets all over everything, and is a general pain in the ass. Where I used to work we had this blower box for our fog machine, and I was the lucky one who got to clean it most of the time, the inside of it would be covered with glycerine that had re-condensed in it. It got all over my hands and it would take 4-5 hand washings to get it mostly off.

Not good.
 
Thanks for the feedback guys, I was planning to do it kind of shower style. I would get a metal tube, drill like 6 hole in it, and have it onnected to a tube on either side. The fog machine will fit into a little nook I have in my desk, and would plug in through the bottom, I think. The tubes would come up the back, and down the top, then "popout" to reach what I will call the showerhead. The showerhead would be supplied by 2 so that fig was distributed evenly. heres the showerhead thing:

The 0's are the fod trickling down, and the two | are the feeds. I think it would be two much of a pain to have the machine in the case.
 
Sounds like a great plan, except the blue part :) Every case you look at is blue. If you're willing to spend money to have it powder coated, give it some sick original color that nobody has ever seen, and theme your case around it. Then all the kids will be screaming about how sick your pc is :)
 
TheNoid-
While its gonna be blue, I dont know the exact details of the color scheme that I am gonna do yet. I think that this shade will look pretty nice though. Also there is some other stuff I am planning on doing. Once I get a solid plan hammered out, I will post.
