Well I was stupid and left this skyhawk sit here all summer, I have finally decided to mod it.

I wanna do some preformance modding, but also want to add some cool looking stuff, with out a window.

I figure an LCD in a drive bay (got a 16x2 sitting here) and more fan mounts, with 1 or 2 door fans, (92mm) and a blowhole (120mm)

I also wanna get rid of the front lcd panel that is soooo annoying. But it would leave a ~105x115mm hole. maybe a bezel window?

The case is in good condition, just needs a HDD cut out of it (stripped out screw)

Any objections? Opinions?

Also, as far as hole cutting with a dremel, is it worth trying? anybody get good results with it? or should i just get a hole saw, i'd have to stick with only one of the measurements then... hole saws are damn expensive!

I believe the trick to dremelling a hole is to work the inside edge and plan on plenty of time with the round file - a trade of sweat and time for the expense and speed of the hole saw.

Having never actually used my dremel tho' , wait for someone who has actually done it to verify my advice.

I have used a dremel to cut out different complex designs, and the advice I can give you is to go SLOW, be EASY and if possible practice a bit with similar or same meterial, such as play around with the dremel in the inner part of the circle area to be cut out.

anything wrong with the over all design?

I think it sounds cool. but I can't tell you have you want the case to look- Just go with what you like.
