Yeah I saw that article but what I'm looking for is more step to step type article. Case looks cool though.

It shouldn't be too hard to do, it'd just take a lot of time and planning. Get the briefcase and all the components, then spend ages playing around trying to work out how to fit them in. Once you've decided where to put everything, mark out and cut all the holes you need (for CD drives, mobo back plate etc), and then work out how to fix everything down to stop it moving. For the mobo you might be able to drill and tap some blind holes in the bottom of the case (depending on what it's made of), and screw some standoffs straight in. If you have a spare case to cannabalise you might be able to nick the drive bays from it and bolt those into the case, then put the cd and hard drives in them as usual.

Sure, it'd take a lot of resourcelfulness and you'd need a fair bit of technical skill, but that's what case modding's all about!
