thanks roundeye

i find its worth it to mod an old dell case because it saves you cash and i enjoy using a case that i've put my own work into (althought this one isn't my computer, i just upgraded/modded it)

but for those of you who remember my last post in this forum, i also did a similar mod to my computer but its changed a little since then but i don't think i've posted it yet

hmm, i'll try and find soem pics
