The Plan
<div class="IPBDescription">AKA new case needs some modding</div> I just love my old case... Crammed to the top with HDDs, 1 fan, and removeable HDD bays sticking out the front because they bump in my RAM...
But yeah, Saturday I was at a 500 player lan and I finally got off my arse and bought a new case.
I went for a fairly high priced model, the Antec P160. Silver aluminimum sexiness.
<a href='http://www.silentpcreview.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=128&page=1' target='_blank'>Here's a review for it</a>
There were only 3 things I wanted in this case.
1.) An aluminimum case
2.) Not modded
3.) Plenty of space for HDDs
It easily fulfilled those 3 requirements
Here's a picture of the front:

Ahhhh the blue LEDs are a nice touch, I wasn't expecting them.
Indeed it is quite a nice case.
So with the new case it is high time I did a case-mod.
In truth it will be fairly simple to do.
Here's the plan.
1.) Cut a window into side panel
2.) Install a blue cold cathode light
3.) Get other side professionally airbrushed with the One Piece pirate logo.
Quick picture of it. Can't be bothered scanning the large one... the flag's in the wind, so the picture is stuffed up.

Rather than have it simple like that, gonna see if I can get the airbrusher to add a 'realistic' feel to it... yeah... hard to explain... Just make it look like a real skull, hat and crossbones...
Yeah... I know it's not anything fancy, but I'm sure it will look quite nice once it's done.
And quite expensive...
Shortly after I finish the mod, I shall be upgrading my processor, mobo, RAM and video card. It's been too long since I've upgraded. I can't even play Prince of Persia on my PC >_<

A.) Ones that didn't match my stated requirements
B.) Ugly as sin
C.) The windows were too small or had ugly trimming.
Make sure you make a custom 3.5" switch panel to turn turn the light on and off <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
And now a new idea forms......
Where can i find a full-scale model of Chii.....

I just hope you're not too faithful to the series as to where you put the power button... or at least where it seems to be =P

And yes, it would have to go there.

I'll give you both of my legs and a few inches of intestine if you get one for me, too... I love Chii.
