Before you do ANY case modding, take a look at this guys work. he is the michaelangelo of modding. I've never seen anything else compare.

Find the short videos he posted of the water coolers in action. And don't just look at the first page. that only shows his first work. You have to see the Dark Blade build. He machined it on a huge commercial CNC machine, a part at a time, right down to the screws and washers.

edit: I found a photo of the completed system so you don't have to go through 95 pages.

Click on the photo for a close up. But I would still dig into the log for the videos and the step by step CNC stuff.
