over the rest of this year, i plan to be putting away PC parts i can salvage to make a new PC build for my mum, anyway, i found this case in the garage that can take a Micro ATX Motherboard, and its like 7 years old. pretty much, im going to mod the thing out, its going to be a slow process, but i am picking up shifts at work slowly, and the case may be done by late june (my birthday is in there, so i will have plenty of money. Today, i plan to sand it down and make it look better, and give it an overall clean, and salvage what i can from it, so i am taking my camera up to the garage, and will show the pics later today.

nah, i just called it lemonade cos there were three cans and a bottle infront of me while making the title, ok, so i have some ideas, im going to vacuum the acumulated dust and then chuck some pictures on here. im thinking a black very similar to guyvers. and im thinking about putting a fan in the case, i have to reconstruct it to see where i can put crap though.

its ten years old, i cant believe it has uATX. i got rid of the packard bell logo and that, the top is chromed, and the side is.... getting there, i need to get rid of all the pop rivets, though once i do i dont know how i will support the mobo, i might have to let my welding skills out.

or you could borrow a rivet gun off someone and just put more pop rivets into it, not that hard ey. They don't cost much either

I think the holidays has made your brain go soft...

are you going to try and do what Guyver tried? to give it a polished top?
Maybe you should just sand and polish the WHOLE case! maybe that wouldnt look so good with a plastic front...make something out of metal. That would be sweet.

LOL man you guys keep some prehistoric ****! I throw cases like that away, hell I would have thrown my project case away when I got my new PC and its a perfectly serviceable mid tower that doesn't really look bad either

Nice project case either way glad to see more of these happening!

okie dokey, an update. I will being doing more today, i hope to get the other door sanded, but this is a pic of what i have done.

that pic is actually a little outdated, almost all the door on the left is done. and the front bezel has been sanded, i still have to figure out a way to slim it down.
