bohman,
What kind of mods are you thinking of doing?
i plan on several mods.
the end result will be a battlestar galactica cylon machine.
i have been looking for an all-steel case or mostly steel case for weeks, and i am glad that CM released this. i need steel because i am planning on chrome plating as much as possible (i work in a steel plant with a chroming facility
). i will then buff the chrome to a mirror finish. our facility's electro-plating is too strong for aluminum, it wouldn't make it out alive.
i plan to completely redo the side panel. i will cut out most of it, make it a much larger window, probably install a different fan (which i havn't decided on yet). i do not like the mesh around the fan.
i am going to rework the front bezel, probably scrapping it entirely and fabricating a steel one, that will also be chromed. the bottom of the bezel will be fashioned so the vents represent a cylon's mouth-area.
i will be installing a cylon eye that will occupy the top drive bay, with a dial to control scan speed.
i will need to get my hands on the case and review everything. i will make a work-log, and will drop a link.
obviously, i need a bunch of time to do this, so i wanted to jump in asap.
