Here is a case that I have, this isnt "my" personal case, but the case I own. I want to add stuff like front usb, maybe a blowhole in the front, a window, a light, etc. Someone help me out with ideas. Any are accepted. Thanks.
Here is the case: (front, side, and back shown)
Specs for the case are:

did you post this on neowin aswell??
www.thinkgeek.net is great - its got cool fans, got lights, the works, glass cut outs are quite cool
Well, put a window in the side of it, maybe add some cool cathod (or is it cold cathode?) lights to it, make a front intake, and on the fan grill you put some blue neon glow wire, and in the top it would be nice with a fan to get the air out of the case, wich makes a good air flow, and helps keeping the computer cooled down.

the case looks like a big beast, put some LAN handles on it, some nice modern ones would suit a dark smooth silver or crisp blue. My thoughts.

A paint job of any kind would be a good idea..... that's just an ugly colour

here's my idea, the big bit on the side is a case window, the circle on top is a blow hole and the circle on the front is also a blow hole:)
Drop a neon, or maybe even cooler a black light in the case, make sure to use some wireloom too to make it all look neat. Round off the IDE and floppy cables, and loom the power cables. Don't forget the audio cable from your CD/DVD-R(W)/CD-R(W), whatever you have drive, too:)
here's the idea in picture form,

Mmm...a silverish pain job...replace the fan grills with some atomic ones [do you have them in the us...?] A window and a bright green standard neon. Then get a cold cold cathode blue neon and put it up the top of the case with the sensor near your subwoofer [or if you dont have one, just a normal speaker] When sound comes out the blue will contrast with the green to create an uber yelowish/blueish/greenish light. Its truly amazing.

Guys, all your, thanks for your ideas. I want to add more fans and put front usbs in (i have a header on my mobo). I like the window idea and adding a low level light (nothing too bright). But right now, it looks like I am going to have to work and make money to do these mods. But my next problem is finding someone who has done this and willing to help me out with it. I live in the US in Pennsylvania and I dont know anyone from there who has this experience. Again, thanks sooo much for your ideas.

If ya just want a nice lil mod to do...
make some fan holes... top and site... but a mesh grill on it, then a decrative grill on that... and put some lazer leds behide the fans...

thnx madcow, i might try that.
But one thing i HATE about this case it the red LED light. the lights are not on the front panel, which is nice, but then it is harder to see the hdd light. the front panel comes off with ease and there are no wires on the front. all the leds and switches are attatched to the the metal case and the leds are about 3mm rectangular, not round in size and shape. how can i mod this sob with the leds being as they are.

Check this out... Really cool... but the led's are
on the fan blades...

Have even seen ppl put 2 diffrent colours on the blads
Then put a metal mesh grill on it.... (try and find a round one) and then a decertive grill like this.. that would rock...
