A little info about the case: The window and v100 cutout on the side were laser cut from a mod shop. The top was to orignally but I extended it above the 5.25" bays by hand. It's a pretty good cut but you can def tell a difference compared to the laser cut if you look closely. I also replaced the acrylic windows since the 1's from the mod shop had fans on them. I added holes and gromlets for tubing and cut some holes in the Mb tray for cable routing. I removed the HDD cages from the bottom to put the pump and res in but I still have them and will ship them with the case if you want to put them back in. 4 simple screws on each 1 was all there was to hold it in. I also cutout a hole for a 120 fan inside the case above where 1 of the drive cages used to sit to pull air from the bottom chamber up into the MB chamber. I also have the 5.25" bay device for the 3.5" drives with the fan I will include if you want. The EL wire is actually glued to the window so you would have to replace the window if you didn't want it anymore or get some cleaner to loosed the glue. The windows are also glued in so replacing them might be a bit of a challenge but possible. There is a tiny hole in the corner of the windows in which the EL wire is routed through but is not really visible. The case does not have any scratches that I noticed. It is a bit dusty and has finger prints so it could probably use a go over with some alcohol. The only real defect is some glue (not really noticable unless your looking for it on the window from when I attached the EL wire. I just never bothered to clean it off since the glue is clear and you really can't se it unless your looking for it. Other then that it was an excellent case. The only reason I stopped using it was cause I ran out of real estate and wanted to start on another project.  I have all the lights I think it's 5 4" cathode lights if you want those also. Everything is green. Let me know if your interested. I would like to get $100 for it. If you do buy it from me and you get it and are not happy with it ship it back to me within the first week and I'll give you the full $100

when you insert the photos they are full size from Photobucket or where ever... so then you click a photo there is a edit button on in the forum where you can manually set the size of the photos. that way if you copy the link to the photo in your web browser they are full side at the hosting site and small enough on the forum so they show up. I used 480x320 for all of them

thats interesting. must be something new with the new forums cause I never had to do that before.

 

Oh and while this was created for Ice to see the pics. If he decides he doesn't want it then it still up for grabs to the next person who does

I appreciate you taking the time to help me out Nelson -- I do like the case and how its WC ready, however its a bit "glitzy" for me; looking for something sleek and plain (I am a boring guy) 

None-the-less this case would be a steal for anyone at $100! I am sure you'll have no issues getting it off your hands

yeah. I haven't tried to hard to sell it. I could always put it on ebay I just would prefer to deal with someone I know or someone here since it is modded. It's not like getting a used stock case where you know 100% what your suppose to get.

shoot Bob you live close enough I wouldn't even have to ship it. You could see it and buy it at the same time.
