Hey man i need some help on what case to buy so i can mod it? :wavey: :wavey:

[MIK3]

What I would suggest, as I am starting a case mod with another member of this site, is a plain old beige eye soar. I find it this way...once your done moddin the heck of it, u'll know that you did a job well done. beige eyesoar now = sweet @$$ eye candy!

cases ranging from med to full size tower is a good victom of a dremel

if u want a window mod, u have to consider if the side panel is easy to slide off and on, also the curvature for the hand to grab on the side panel isnt too big so it will make the window small

hope u know what i mean

just try not to buy though small and tacky cases
it will make the job very hard

Just a suggestion, I made my side window using a grinder with a cutting tool...since the side cover is made up of thin metal, you can cut your way thru at no time without scratching the side of the cover. But it actually depends on your skills to handle such power tool.

Try the following: (If available if not go to the next option)

1. Grinder + Cutting tool + Skills
2. Dremel + Skills
3. Can openner + skills
4. Knife + Skills
5. Spoon + Skills
6. C4 plastics explosives + Life insurance

Happy modding.

5 would reguire "lots of skill", not just "skill"
6 would also require "lack of brain" but would be very interesting to watch (from a distance)

:rofl: C4 plastics explosives to make a case window is better than a Deisel Powered PC! :rofl:

Sweet, I've been planning on painting my case up for a while, just haven't found the time... That video might be helpful though when I finally do it.

For moddable cases the Maxtop CSX-147KGF is a pretty nice deal. Newegg sells them really cheap, and they ship with two 92mm fans on the side and top. Good airflow, fairly plain but pretty moddable. I cut a window in mine and it went pretty smooth (Linkage (http://www.fury-tech.com/modules.php?mod_name=Contents&jump=window_mod))
