    Coo, I like the off-center intakes, bringing a bit of originality to something that's been done a lot before and it looks like you're not afraid to try something difficult!

    Nice work :dremel:

    yep that was my main reason for going off center.. i had seen it done the other way to much.. and I don't really like clone style mods.. but anyways.. i got the bondo started now.. i will post some pics in a few... :clap: all i got left is painting.. finish cutting the window.. major sanding and filing.. then paint, sand, paint, sand, paint, sand, buff. :p

    front done and primed

    alrighty I got the front done intime to go to the lan.. so here are some pics of it all nice and bondo'd sanded and primed.. the pictures.. look like it has dents and what not.. but it doesn't completely smooth finish irl..they don't do it justice.

    that looks really sweet. with the window not being a plain jain empty window. nice work there. more than i have the patientice for with a dremel.

    question bout them intakes in the front, what did you use to get the nice round flashing on the holes? just some spare scrape plastic or was it something common i'm missing?

    love the offset of them too very functional as opposed to having them centered. if i remember that case right, those are lined up perfectly with where the fans for the drives and case intake right?
