    Looks good so far.

    Just wondering if a slimline (possibly slot load) rom drive would be easier to mod into the top section instead of a 5 1/2" drive.

    Are you putting a bunch of fins in the front?

    Nice work on the sketches there! And I know what "afraid" feeling you got when bending your cover. To say the least I will have the same fear when I'm going to bend the whole outer cover for my case. God I cant wait:worried:

    There's some very interesting ideas in this mod, that poor Nine Hundred has been gutted!

    Your metal working is impressive, particularly on the GPU cover.
