To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Athlon x2 5000+ @ 3 ghz
Corsair XMS2 2gb
Gigabyte 9600GT Zalman Cooler
MA690V chipset
sucky Gigabyte motherboard

Mods:
12cm intake fan, 80mm exaust fan, cold cathode, DIY plexy window, vintage fan speed control, real rust, old mousepad for front panel :D and the scraps from it made nice feet for the case ;)

My first idea was to tie the case to the car pull it for 5 km.
The dumbest thing i did was to forget to put the power and reset button :D
Case temps are vgood, the mod is not finished so post interesting ideas!!
Don't hate, thats the first mod i have ever done.

the interior through the case looks nice and clean, however the panel modding is abit ugly. i can see your idea, just not sure if having rust floating around your case is very safe? will rate when more pics are up. apart from the panel , nice build :)

I voted 10/10 because:

The Half Life 2 theme is very realistic and portrays what it's all about, great mod! Improve those specs, though. :p
