I built this pc for a friend of mine's son. He's into hot rods and dirt bikes. She was going to build him a pc using all the extra parts around the house. Org. she was going to use an old basic tan case. I sugested to build him a mod case out of my old tool box. So our journey begain. With the help of her pc parts, my bros time and labor, my time and labor, and all of our ideas I think we built one sweet looking pc for a young mans first moded pc. I hope yall like it.

Haha, that's a great idea. How did you secure the drives? Did you have some sort of leftover drive bay that you bolted in somehow? I would like to see the inside.

I had about 2 or 3 old pc cases around that i cut up for parts. plus a little fabercated brackets to make it all stable. btw its very quite when it runs. neon lights are the next step.
