    I have to say that the majority of my current mods follow Macro's own Lian Li PC60, I so far have stealthed the drives, and cut faceplates for my floppy and USB hub complete with fibre optic. So a big thanks to Macro!

    Now I have another idea that I have yet to see done anywhere else, yet.

    As i have a USB hub sitting in one of the 3.5" bays, that little flap at the bottom hiding the original USB ports is somewhat redundant. My plan is to remove the USB gubbins and replace them with a nice backlit single line LCD. I can then use this to display anything i like!

    What do you think? Macro fancy havin a go at it?

    Wouldn't that be a little low on the case to see? I would have thought so, unless the case is up on your desk with your monitor.

    Not that I want to discurage you or anything ;) . I'm sure it would look great. :)

    You'd be scrolling a lot - are you sure you want something that busy-looking on your desk? The main reason I like the larger LCDs/VFDs is that you can put fairly static data up and leave it for a while.
    Just my $.02.
