Lookin' good buddy! :) B)

Red and black is not my cup of tea, but it still looks good. What model and brand is the case? I just would like to know so that I will be able to tell how much of a transformation it's gone through. :)

Its a 1997 IBM Aptivia pre build computer case. The first scene is an almost perfect representation of what it looks like :)

 I'm fabricating about 50% of the case and this is what it looks like prior to any mods. :)

QUICK UPDATE:

I have all but finished the case mod. All that is left is the paint and a few small things most of which i cant do until I order the parts. In doing the project i have changed a few things and they are as follow:

1. I will be using itx (slim itx) mobo rather than a matx

2. I added an aluminum PSU shroud

 

Updates coming as soon as i have time to edit the footage :)
