My thermaltake mod project.

My system as signature or this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...naturecopy.jpg

The system:
inside
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/123_2307.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/123_2308.jpg

outside
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/119_1982.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/119_1975.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/119_1973.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/119_1974.jpg

the CCFL is manhattanlights or something. I tried sunbeam, almost got blind.
The CPU fan is the Tt blower until I get the 92mm tornado.
I want to change the top rheostat(as in picture inside) to something else, any ideas. not looking for:
fan controller, temp monitor, any HD cooler, built in speaker system, any itmes that the buttons are more than 1cm tall. The case door would not close properly.

Im running a xp2500, at 11x200 on an Asus a7n8x-x mobo with 2 sticks of 256OCZ Performance 3.2cl ram running 11-3-3-2.5. Thermaltake volcano 11 i think it is, Full copper Heatsink, a NEC 3500 DVD burner with the mad dog Firmware...80gig WD hd, along with a 10gig WD hd, oh yeah 10 gigs!

That project is nice lookin' indeed FLG. The only thing your slideshow and pictures are missing are the steps, instructions and materials used.

I'm especially interested in how you "modded" the glass window and blow hole in the top of the case.

I found this thread and thought I'd post pics of mine too. There are some nice cases posted here

Here are the only two pics I have that can fit under the 100kb upload limit.

The rest (along with a sequential build and mod history) can be found here....

Folks, we have a thread for custom case work stickied at the top of this forum. So feel free to post any photos there. Let's let this one die.
