    Ok, i decided to start a mod on my Generic Lil' Comp case. I know i've started a bunch of projects in the past and pretty much deserted them but this one i plan to finish.

    This is the case ill be modding:

    Dirty Fan: :p

    I am planning a Blow Hole in the top panel, as you can see there is just enough room to squeeze it between the PSU and Optical drives:

    [​IMG]

    The Beautiful side panel just waiting to be modded:

    I guess you can sorta see the simple window design:

    I started the cut a few minutes ago but it started raining and my cut-off wheels kept breaking so i decided to quit till it stopped raining:

    Suggestions on things i could do to it would be apprieciated. its a Mid-sized case so i cant fit a whole lot of stuff in there but i think it has great modding potential.

    Next Update:

    Small Update:

    I got the window cut today, thought i post a pic of it, ill cut the top blowhole sometime this evening or tomorrow, just thought I make this short update.

    Edit: Im not quite sure what color paint im going to use, maybe ill paint the inside red and outside black, or the other way around.. :twisted:

    Next next Update:

    Ok, update time :) Its not a very big one, but an update none the less..

    I fixed the side panel a bit:

    cut the blowhole: (its a little rough now, ill smooth it out some more later, or find a kickass grille to hide my errors :)

    Thats it for now, i may cut a design on the right side panel but that im not sure on :) Ill have to practice first on an old side panel, i really dont wanna **** this one up.

    Ill prolly get some paint tomorrow or sometime this weekend and update it, that is if im done cutting all im going to cut. :)

    Comments welcome :)

    Looks good so far, put in a big 120 mm intake fan in the front.

    Err... clean the fan? :eyebrow:

    Are you still going to smoothen out the 'handle' in the side panel, or will it stay like this?

    There's potential here. Give us a sketch of your planned mods.
    You're in desperate need of a paint job.

    Good luck :thumb:

    May I suggest that you use a rubber tile around the hole since it became a little jagged.....

    BTW: Hope it turns out well :thumb:

    Thanks for the replies, I don't think i can fit in a 120mm Blowhole because the case is so small, my PSU and Optical drives would be in the way :(

    Lol about the fan, i dont think ill be using that fan, i just posted it for the hell of it :)

    I may stick a piece of rubber around the blowhole, but its actually not that rough, i slipped slightly on the dremel and it scratched the paint off...

    I'll make another update soon, if i decide im not going to cut anymore ill probably paint it soon.
