Well, I am really wanting to give this modding a shot. However I am kinda cheap so I am getting a Inwin 500 case with my new computer. What do you guys think about the modding abilities of this comp? Personally, I thought it might be kinda fun to do some modding on something other than a antec/lian-li.

Just to clarify things a bit, that's an "S" 500, you will find inwin has several "500" cases but that are all classified by letter I own two Q500's and two A500's

Just an FYI, nice cases to mod incidentally.

Oh, ha, Sorry about that. Have you modded any of your Inwin cases?

Ah..

Might be fun.. A guy paid me to mod his old AT mini tower into an ATX with a window, neon, and a couple blowholes, and I enjoyed that thoroughly. I had a Inwin Q500, (back bvefore I modded at all) and it had a sweet pull-out mobo tray and stuff. If I was modding at the time, it would have been a close second in dope-ness to my modded 1040B Antec.

Rock solid chassis, but window mods tend to not go over so well. The PSU partially blocks the upper left corner if you're loking at the case withthe motherboard faced towards you, and some of the upper chassis blocks the view. You could howevfer use the chassis as a guide and only cut the sidepanel where you can actually see through to the MB.

Thanks for the advice, I was planning on doing a custom window shape so that'll be fine!

I have an A900 (very similar to the Q500) that I've modded quite a bit.
