    Hey guys, ive been looking over the bit tech forums for about a year now and i jsut made a accnt so i thought i post a worklog here. Im trying to keep this mod under 100 bucks so that means no water cooling(unless someone wants to send me some old stuff :) ) so this is going to be my server case. The theme is going to be back with a silver outline around that case, should look good. Also im think of having some leds mabye blue or green dunno yet. So to get started some pics, sorry i never took any before pics. As soon as i got the case i riped it apart, so ill use the newegg one.

    Good luck with the case, the silvered finihsed should look good. I'm sure that PSU will look great when you sand it with some really high grit wet/dry paper.

    Glad to hear they still work.

    Any guide on this I've seen recomends putting tape/masking off the pins.

    Good luck with the rest of the mod.
