Introduction

Before I get started I would like to thank Wolfman for giving me the chance to display this on the site that got me started in this thing we like to call modding. Had it not been for this site I would have never started this hobby. This mod was probably one of my most challenging yet. It required me learn new skills, use new tools, and try new things.

My main inspiration came from Mashies Oenone case, an SGI O2 case. I loved everything about this case and I wanted to try something very different with it. The main thing that stood out to me about this case was the vents along the sides and the way he illuminated them with the CCFL’s. The base of the case would ultimately be my most pain staking endeavor in fabricating this case. It required 12 handmade pieces of brass, some solder, some pantyhose, tons of bondo, and a hell of a lot of patience.

The next few pages in this article shall show you how I turned this:

Into This:

I know the mods look subtle but that's only the outside. Actually, the outside of this case required the most work. Just a quick note on the images, Early on in the article I was taking the images with my digital camera and cropping out the main part. I later switched to just keeping the images one size to keep a uniformity to them all. Also, in trying to keep this article understandable I'm going to split each part up so you may see completed or uncompleted areas of the case in the background of the images.

With that said, lets get on with the article.
