    Hi all!

    Introduction:

    Why this mod? Sometime ago I was by a good friend of mine.
    From his work he got this 19" Switch, this one was off duty.
    The first thing I tought when i saw the case was, modding!
    And he was so kind to donate it to me :D.
    Thanks again m8!

    From a another friend of mine I got an Aopen M64 motherboard, with a Pentium !!! 667Mhz CPU. He gave it to me because I build him a new PC.

    Because I always bring a fileserver to LAN parties and I wanted to make a nice server for me at home this was a nice opertunity.

    The Hardware:

    Motherboard: Aopen MX64 Slot 1
    CPU: P!!! 667Mhz
    RAM: 512Mb
    CDROM: 52x
    VGA: TNT1 AGP, 16Mb
    NIC: 10/100 Realtek
    Sound: SB128PCI, The onboard audio isn't much.
    LPT2: Netmos for my 4x40LCD
    LCD: 4x40 with HD44780 controller
    HDD1: Quantum 40Gb@ 7200rpm
    HDD2: Maxtor 62Gb@ 7200rpm
    PSU: 300Watt

    Here i made an new aluminium plate for the front of the case.

    To give you an idea how the front is going to look, i made this drawing in AutoCAD:
