I've stumbled upon the world of case modding and I am now obsessed....
I'm in the process of ordering all the essential parts for a pimpin' case.

This is what I am ordering...
Lian Li PC-61 w/ Bio-Hazard Window
2 Green Cathodes
12' of EL Wire
530 watt PSU
3 80mm fans
1 Lighted 80mm fan
Translucent Green Rounded IDE and Floppy Cables
Biohazard Fan Cover
Biohazard Case Badge
Babybus Fan Controller

Is there anything that I am missing or that might want to consider ordering along with this?

Welcome to PCA and the wonderful world of case moding.

It really looks like you have everything covered. About all I can think of is getting some stuff to hide your cables or some coverings for them. KDComputers sells that stuff if you are intreasted.

Thanks for the help.
I'll be sure to check that out.

add 1 Dremmel (or a clone). it is a verry good tool to have for doing this sort of thing out side of a machine shop!

I've got lots of tools at my disposal at work...
Drill Press, many Dremmels, and I believe there is a small CNC.

CNC

CNC=usless for case modding (unless your doing 100 cases!)

agree there but its still fun... really unless your doing some funky ass design a simple round or square hole isn't that hard to program in and rip out.

as long as the machine has a shop mode.

Let's say I wanna get a Antec case and paint it with a UV sensitive paint and put in some uv cathodes, along with other uv sensitive items....

Anyone seen a case done like this that I could look at...

I dont want it to look all "hippified"

SthrnCotton: Ever since I tried out one of those PCMods Rheostat busses (http://www.pcmods.com/details.asp?ProdID=4), I have to put one in every computer I build. They control the fans with rheostats (variable resistors that have one end tied to the wiper arm), so that you can fine tune the fan speed for 4 fans. I also had one controlling the voltage level of a neon light, but found that I ended up hurting the neon light (it eventually failed) with the lower voltage on the inverter circuit. So - use them to control the fan speeds, and look at the pretty jumbo LED lights! I have three computers using the jumbo blue LEDs, and one using the jumbo red LEDs. For my upcoming mod project, I'm not sure what color I want to use yet, but I definately will be ordering another rheostat bus from them soon!:up

I'm likin' that. Blue led's have to look pimpin in that..
I've narrowed it down to the uv cathodes and some blue el wire...
So the blue led's will be perfect...
