ooo pretty pictures...I hate using that enlight case - the rails piss me off (always losing them) and the fact that you have to take off the front to get the side panels off...what genius thought of THAT?

As far as the mod goes though, nice window layout...paint choice looks good too

One of the first cases I modded was that Enlight.
Not a bad case at all for the price, other than the few points PJ brought up. (Suicide doored my side panels so that issue was resolved...lol)

Looks like a cool plan and coming along nicely Gumby.

I like the case other than to 2 major griping points I mentioned - don't get me wrong...my first case mod was an enlight too...my bezel kept getting scratched though whenever I popped it off which really pissed me off...

layout in the case is great though...suiciding the doors would be an excellent idea...I wasn't into modding that much then though...it didn;t even have a window just black paint on the inside and purple on the outside with the buttons and drive cages (and other things) highlighted with gold...

get a sand blaster kit for an air compressor, put a regular window in it, then etch in the skull. Would look really nice.
