I got this machine from my big brother after the scraop build which replicated this one. Case was pretty messed up. So my friend ( Whom bought this computer from me ) and I did some extreme make over and mods for this case. Prior my big brother had this case, 1st owner had done modifications etc.
Modifications: Removed fan grilles from front and back. Sealed extra holes back that 2x80mm fan placement had with and sealing rough edges with u-rubber.
And of course the paint job. My friends wife decide the colours as computer would need to BLEND IN the decor... Well, she wanted inside to be white or silver. White we went as white paint was cheaper than silver. And since inside the case will be installed UV-lights, it likes more white surface.

Backside before. Fan grils were ok but caused still turbulence a lot. Also previous paint job from the first user of this case remained... well seen...
Back side from further. You can see 2x800mm/1x120mm fan placement in exhaust. PRetty common for 2002-2004 "gaming" cases.
The window side before. 1st owner had tries to cover worst scratches with blue paint... Its not hard to see where...
Hardware, cables and the yellow paintjob from the 1st owner.
Side panel before. This... almost made me cry. If animal would have been this bad condition, most peoples would have put it out of its misery. Horrible scratches and paint attempts.
Top luckily wasn't SO bad... Still... pretty bad...
After 3 hours of work:
This is window side after paint job.
Back side after modding and paint job. Looks pretty darn good IMHO.
Front shot, door closed. Not too shabby looking either.
Front door open. Yeah, we kind missed a spot there behind the door...
No scratches or two coloured paint job anymore. Wohoo!
Yeps, all the nasty scratches are gone from here too.
Once I get system runnign with the lights etc, I'll take few more pictures. I think I've plagued SPCR long enough with my crappy phone pictures, I hope I get my Canon Digital Ixus soon...
