I tore that case all apart and had my dad take the chassis to work and spray some industrial black on it..... Well he got it home and said "Well I couldnt find any plastic parts on it so I sprayed some teflon on it and baked it at 300" Well I doubt anyone will ever scratch this surface.

So now for the window mod.... Erm..... Ok now that we have the chassis covered in usda aproved teflon (strong sh^t for those who dont know) I figured i might as well put a bad@55 window mod on it.... And that didnt quiet go the way I planned either..... Took me 6 hours and a dremel and this popped out.. Its not totally done yet but you get the idea.

Damn Ace! I'm working on my fist case mod right now and I fear cutting into metal. It's guys like you and mnpctech that scare the bajesus outa me. Lets do a lil role playing here...

Me: Wow thats some fancy stuff
Alter Ego1 Sheet brah, you could do better...plug it in and start cutting...
Alter Ego2: Run away... run away....
Alter Ego1: Never mind sissy boy, you can do it!
Me: Hrmm I dunno...(tinking of ideas on how to distract Alter Ego1) The masking job... It... just doesn't look right. Lets mask it again...
Alter Ego1: Nah its perfect, let er rip!
Alter Ego2: Heheheh good try Me.
Me: (Thinking of other stall methods...)

This will go on for about a week or so...actually I still havent cut on the side pannel.

Looks got Ace, I just wish I had more experience with my dremel

Hey FeRal, If I can do it, so can you. Just plan it out and take it slow.
The only way it's gonna get done is to do it.
