Default Any Ideas or sugesstions for this case?

Since I got to stop working on my other mod http://forums.pcapex.com/project_wor...asquerade.html due to monetary issues( I really want to do this one right so I will wait till I save some money.!).

I got left whit nothing but to finish painting and sleeving my PSU! but then a remembered that the PC I use at the office Is actually mine!
So here are some pics, to se if any of U guys have any ideas to be done to this case, I have a cupple of extra 120mm fan, 2 ccl (blue) and some red, and blue leds, I was thinking of doing something with the leds to the frontal door ( this one does not come with a side window so that may be something!!!!) I was thinking maybe a spawn theme mod....

here are the pics.


it is basicaly a Cheap knock off of a alienware case...



as you cas see on this pic I have managed to keep the inside almost cable free...

Hey the case looks good so far. You might want to add a top window if room permits. Also possibly two handles(one on each side of window). Just brainstorming so if possible maybe some paint on the inside with possibly some UV paint. I think that green UV on inside with Black outside would look good if you put like a biohazard window in i saw that you already had the biohazard fan grill on the heatsink so maybe along those lines but then again that is a very common theme.....Again just brain stormin here.

Mmmmnn brainstorming is fun but along the lines of the biohazard thing I think the UV green inside and black outside would go good. Maybe on the top of the case you could get something airbrushed like metal barrels(with biohazard stickers) dumping out green goo on the ground and maybe wire up some green leds into the goo. Just my 2 cents...

I don't think there is any green modders mesh, but if you get some you could easily paint it UV green (verry thin coats)

Nice case, and adding a windo ontop would be nice, but i dunno about the handles, might throw off the current "look"

I dont know if anything is in stone yet on the look of the case.

Although, here's a couple of idea's that cross my mind.

Leave the exterior of the case black and paint the inside chasis red.
Paint the front air flow bezels red.

Maybe its just me.....but it would look cool if you could dremel out your ankh sig on the front panel door of the case and add led lighting to it. Then again maybe some glow wire around it.

As for the side window......id go with a red plexiglass color and dremel out the picture of your choice with modders mesh sandwiched in between the case and the plexiglass.

This might go with your original spawn theme....

Just a couple of idea that crossed my mind to share......

HAPPY MODDING!!!!!!!!!!!

You could put a 120mm or bigger fan inside those openings in the bezel and sculpt ducts to it. Make it so you only see the fan blades, not the center. Paint the fan silver or get a silver fan.

Or 2 120mm fans set at angles, one for each opening.
