Well I have been looking at the overclockers website and I saw a couple of things I would like to try on my rig..
1. Solid tubing for my water block similar to this one.. http://www.murderbox.com/MKIIP1/gallery/ I plan on using copper tubing.
2. I plan on making covers for the HD cage and make the motherboard and vid cards teh only thing you see.
3. I plan on modding the side window and use a colored lexan to add to the mystique. Or if I can find someone who can put LEDS on the side so it looks like colored plexi.
4 Modding the side case to give it a more unique look by adding lip around the window, have it 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch and flow to nothing.
5. And the final mod will be to paint the case to match the Marine Corps Red and Gold.
I hope to have pics here when i can.

Those solid pipes look pretty awesome. where can you get em?
In the switch 810 it comes with the carriage for the HDD's...about all you see is the board, CPU and video card....
What color Lexan, or what colored lights? Would be a nice change of scenery though.
The color would be nice, buw which would be the red and which the gold?

I'm gonna take some pics then alter them with photo shop to see what colors look the best. I saw in the local hardware store a product to do etching and I might try that on the lexan and do a reverse image of the marine corps symbol. I would like some fed back when I post the ideas.

OK I made my 1st purchase, this is what I will be using in the case to make my false bottom and to hide the Hard drive cage.

I ordered the Ruby Red. If I ordered enough I will also be cutting and laying some to match the outside of the MB.
With the lights I hope to make this beast SHINE
Now comes the fun part is getting the tubing and starting the planning.
Will post more updates as I go along.
