Quick question here - has anyone else in this forum done any case mods? At the moment, I'm stuck with a very dull e-star silver/beige/black case, and I'd like a new one ready for i9, to go with my hardware upgrades (athlon 1.4ghz, GeForce3).

If you have, do you have any tips/warnings on the process? I've done some basic work, lights, paint jobs, but I've never done blowholes/windows panels etc. Ideally I'd like some cold cathode tubes and a window panel (with etching) on a Orchid 860B, or similar. I don't intend to take to a new £80 chassis with a drill myself, but has anyone found any particularly good colour/design ideas?

For people who have no idea what I'm on about...case modding - making your PC something worth looking at instead of a dull beige case that gets hidden away at the first opportunity. What's the point? Just eye candy really, if you take your PC around to gaming events, or spend a lot of time looking at it on your desk. Can get very expensive...nice aluminum PC70 case is over £200..

Anyway, people who do know what I'm on about- suggestions/warnings?
