Well, I've spent the last week modding an old piece of cr@p case. I finaly have it at a stage where I can take a few pics so.........with no further delay here it is

Sorry the pics are so poor (used my webcam)

The side pannel fan is a 120mm ,damn it was hard to cut that hole, (and the window holes) I don't have a dremel tool so I used a nibbler [non electric] I still have blisters!!
The case is one of those old ones that were made of like 1mm thick metal.
My screen is 17', just to give some perspective. Sorry there are no pics of the inside, I did take them but the quality was too bad, I'll post better pics once I get a new camera.

Impressive. I have a good idea what that thing looks like before you do anything to it. Very impressive. That is good work.

Yeah, the side panel is definately one of those custom mods.

A blowhole would be a nice addition.

Nope, they don't. You have to barter (trade) for your food, tools, pottery, spears, and other such necessities.

I wish i could lend you a few of my tools.

I really need to get my stuff put together. I just keep coming up with more ideas . . . the latest being a blower mod using a blower from a GM heater. I just hope it doesn't draw too much current. It will have its own psu.
