I got to work on the case mod this morning and have got a fair bit done. I removed the HD bay, which was pretty easy. It just meant drilling out some rivets. I was surprised how much space it created within the case without it.
Then I got to work sanding the case down. I went out and bought a palm sander this morning and it took me about an hour to do a rough finish. I then gave it a sanding by hand with some fine paper. My hands are still buzzing from the palm sander 
Now I have come to a tricky spot, and thats what to do with the front bezel. I don’t know whether to sand it all down and repaint it in another colour or what? I like the bare aluminium look on the case and am thinking about going with that instead of painting. If I do, it means a load more sanding to get a nice shiny finish on it.
I will post back when I have some more work done.
Cheers,
Stu
EDIT: Well bugger me, I have just been thinking about the front bezel and I reckon some mirrored or coloured opaque? (not see through lol)acrylic might work well. I could mount some nice switches onto it and it would be a doddle to fix it to the case. With a nice grill over the front fan it would look pretty cool I think. Opinions would be appreciated!!
