    Well im about to start designing my mod...

    I have a NEC m-ATX case:

    and an i-cute:

    the latter is atx.
    i already have a m-atx motherboard etc so suit the nec case...

    what would you mod?
    remembering my theme will be industrial/orange/heatsink like my SCC Case design entries....

    it's hard to get two pcie-16 slots on a m-atx mobo for a decent price, however crossfire boards are cheap in m-atx sizing.
    watercooling is the aim.

    I voted m-ATX but you know me I never have made anything bigger than that. The ATX case doesn't say 'mod me' to me.

    I have a personal preference for mATX cases; make them only as big as you need them, know what I mean? (I know, that's what she didn't say...)

    Although use an ATX case if your computing purpose (or modder's itch) calls for it, duh.

    lol. i could cram heaps into a m-atx case anyways... well i have a second plan in store if i can find a local waterjet/laser cutting supplier.. and possibly a cnc machining company. might have to talk to bill (mnpctech) about getting some stuff machined... one of his casemod components was inspired by a previous sketchup design of mine so i know he can do it :)

    ever considered trying to mod an ATX mobo into the m-atx case? full ATX functionality in m-atx size :D would be a challenge though

    that sketchup looks pretty cool too...
