Anyone have experience building a case or extremely modifying a case?

I'm curious if people have either built a case or modified a case to the point where it is basically a new case? If you have, can you explain what you did or post a link with a build log?

If you go through the build logs section of this forum, message anyone that has like 5+ pages of replies to their build - they're probably a decent modder. I'm slightly modding my H440 when I buy it in the next few weeks.

This is something I'm working on, maybe it will give you some inspiration. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Ok, I'll give that a try. :)   I'm just really interested in SFF pcs and want to build an overkill PC similar to the Bolt 3 by digital storm. I was thinking of modifying the hell out of the Raven RVZ01 or 2(when it comes out...)

Have you considered the LianLi PCO5 / PC06 / PC07 etc? They're pretty decent SFF cases :)
