scrap that mod. start over. go get yourslef a cheepo case and start hacking into it. you wont find anything original with that case. it has been done to tears. start over. i bet i would be 1000 times more satisfying and probably cheeper.

Step 1: Get a HUGE old-style server case. (8$ at garage sale,& mine cam with a cheap PSU!)
Step 2: Paint the case. Hi-Gloss paint is nice, and you can get some really nifty color-change paints for a pittance nowadays. With the help of some newspaper and masking tape, you can do a flames job. Tamaya model paint is good (3.50 a can), although Rust-Oleum is'nt that bad either. Spaz Stix is great for color-change stuff (10$+ per can) (2$-15$ depending on cost of spray paint)
Step 3: Put in a case window out of cheap plexiglass from the Home Depot. Use your dremel to cut a big ol' square from the side, and put it in with glue or bolts.(~10-20$)
Step 4: Add LED's and funky lighting. CCFL's are only good for UV work, or so I have heard, and can blow up if you're unlucky. (5-10$ for cheap UV CCFL or some LED's from RadioShack)
Step 5: Add funky flourescent paint on the INSIDE of your computer. You can get a good-sized set of it at Spencer's for 10$.
Step 6: Add details, logos and whatever. UV paint works nicely for this.
Step 7: Add case fans. Aluminum fans are nice, but at 10$+ each, they're expensive. Some clear LED case-fans are a better way to go, and they're cheap. (3-6$ each, 2+ reccomended)
This is what I'm going to do with my big beige server case if I can't find anything cooler. IT's heavy, but it's built like a tank, and can hold more drives than I can count on my fingers.
