What to do with a Aria chassis..?

[JonC]

Hello all..

Long time reader.. first time poster..

Here is my dilemma..

Long story short.. I have a antec aria complete except the side pieces .. and a Shuttle SB75g2 system..( pent 2.8c, 250 gig hard drive and dvd writer )

I have been thinking of building a Home Network Storage computer..



My original thoughts were to try to adapt the shuttle MB and power supply into the aria chassis ( more room.. )

I would have to fabricate a new "cover" for the aria case as the side pieces got tossed by accident ( my wife cleans to much ) ..


soo.. I am looking to you guys for some ideas.. I love some of the mods that are created here.. I am relatively new to modding but anxious to get started..

I am thinking of using black acrylic to make the case.. and some amber lights.. maybe a amber "glow pad" under the case..

I am thinking of using amber lights due to the fact that they arent used much.. Just trying to be a bit different..


Does anyone have any ideas.. ?

Input is greatly appreciated..

You could use aluminum, plexi/lexan, or even modder's mesh . It all depends on what sort of look you want, how quiet you need it to be, how much cooling you want, etc.

Heck, even try a combination of 2 or more!
