My goal for this computer was to create a quiet pint-sized gaming PC that's easy to transport and is well rounded.
This was my first attempt at a few of these case mods, and overall I love the finished result.

-ancient 120gb 7200rpm hard drive pulled from my grandma's dell (on it's way out)

-1 generic bitfenix 120mm case fan
-1 240mm Phobya Brickly radiator grill

-Homedepot acrylic
-LED lighting cable that came with a BestBuy giftcard
-Silverstone 120mm dust filter
-3m 4010 tape

Before I did any work:
I just love this case! I based my entire rig off of it and bought one on release day from us.ncix
I chose the asrock board of it's competitor from Asus due to aesthetics and $20. The asus board was blue and had that ugly board blocking my cables,
The finished product: (even though few custom PCs are ever "finished")
I was originally planning to drill 6 holes to the right of the grill and stick a fan controller behind it, then making a custom acrylic front panel. However, the controller looked too cluttered and I cracked the acrylic on the last cut :( so I gave up on the idea. I still think it looks fantastic.
A look inside:
I was going to pull out the power supply, but I forgot that I mounted the SSD with 3m 4010. That stuff is strong.
A few other details:
Here's the bottom of the power supply. Notice any changes?
Using some sleeving I made a quick fix to a USB delete
With the lights on:
These things were free! I just run a hidden usb cable through the top.
