Default Clean slate for modding

This computer looks like a perfect side panal for modding. What do you guys think of it?

Ohh yeah can you look at the picture of the inside and tell me if it supports micro atx as well as standard atx mobos.

ATX and BTX generally can't coexist... you usually have to replace a backplate.

it's probably a code... A= ATX, B=Baby AT, C= something else, M= uATX, or something like that.

It looks like the side panel has a pattern raised in it; this may affect your mod plans. I know I have to work around side blowholes on a lot of cases now. :cursing:.

i see the pattern as well...

looks like bumps or something wierd like that. . . I'd look for another case. I had found a great one but I tried saving it and i just checked and it wasnt saved anymore looks like i'll have to search again.

I'm looking for a white case as well hopefully something sturdy and could possibly support water cooling for my next mod.

*edit* just found this one on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811156011 although I would def use some bondo to reshape the front.

yeah, its heavy... I hate lightweight cases. I don't know why, but I like the idea of being able to use it as a step stoll if needed. (not that I do, as the pc is above my head, a pain for inserting disks, but little dust.)

hmmm using your computer as a step stool

that sounds kinda risky. Also that computer is on wheels so i dont think it would be a good step stool. Maybe a good chair though
