OMFG! That switch panel is just sickening. Please make a guide on how to do it :(:eek:
 
Thanks, i bought the led's with a built in resistor, the rocker switches and some wire. I interuptered the 12v molex wires (yellow) on what i wanted to turn on/off and run it through the switch and wired the positive wire on the led to the "to source" post on the switch and then grounded it to the case. And obviously drilled some holes :beer:

You got two posts on the switch, one is something like source in, and out to source. You take the wire you spliced coming from the molex and solder it to the source in, and then take another piece of wire and solder it to "source out (the wire that would go directly to ex: a fan)" and splice it back into the yellow wire making a loop.

When i was doing it, i should have made a pictorial, alot of people ask how i done it lol!
 
This is a very basic mod I did for a friend of mine that is a huge Razorback fan. I am not done with the case yet, but he can't decide what shape he wants the window in and if he wants any more paint work done. I got tired of waiting and threw the thing together tonight. Just figured I would share b/c I am really pleased with how the cabling turned out.

We are also going to add a red CC or two, and a proper HSF, but he kind of ran out of money for now.
 
My First Mod

This was my first mod, i used an old case that was in my tech teacher's supply closet and went from there. I sketched out the flame designs on card board then used as a stencil to cut the fames masking, used spraypaint since i was low on $.

The light on the top are HDD ligts

I used metal rods with nuts on each end attached to a cut metal plate to create the front panel cover.

Recently did some major cable management on my flaming rig and setup RAID0 with a 300gb Samsung SATAII & 150gb Maxtor SATAII, i lose 150gb of space but it's faster :). Changed my air flow around and i am now getting <30C idle and <38C full load. Will post updated pics.

Doin a case mod on my advance 2610 case. It was all black at first when i bought it, but i noticed after a few weeks that the paint was crappy and it got scratches of barely touching it, so i'm going for chrome!

I have also moved the HDD's to the backside/underside (it's standing sideways on the photos when it should be laying down).
I've only used 100->120 and 600paper for the finish, but i'm gonna go and get some 1000 and 1600 paper later on, then it will hopefully be a mirrorfinish all around, ofcourse the frontpanel too.
Also cut out the holes for the 120mm fans on both "sides" and going to do the same to those above the I/O-plate.
And, the PSU-cooling is something i gotta work on, it's blowing towards the front, so i'm gonna end up with a hole in the front for it to blow out all the hot air. Using a cone-shaped thingy that's usualy placed on boomboxes.
More idéas are welcome, if you have any! :)

Got alot of work left thou, so here is some photos of how it looks now! And these are up to date.

PS. sorry for my bad english. And this is my sencond mod since about 7years ago. So i'm a little rusty :)
