Every case is modable - pick yours - https://www.google.pl/search?q=steam+punk+pc+case&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=VS8&rls=org.mozilla:pl:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=3ucsUtz_AuLa4ATx_IHQCA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=955#q=steampunk+pc+case&rls=org.mozilla:pl:official&safe=off&spell=1&tbm=isch

About mobo - you did specify it you wanna go Sandy/Ivy or Haswell or AMD.

It's not a midtower, but the phanteks enthoo primo is very moddable and not of normal design. It only has rivets in 2 areas.

Fractal Design Define R4 would be a blank canvas to work with. Maybe the curved bezel of the Fractal Design arc midi R2 would be a good feature.

Looks like a decent case actually. Paint the drive covers coppery and sand paper them a bit and yell look bueno.

The mothboard would have to be the ASUS gold boards. It's perfect. If not get that one board that covers everything and paint the cover.

Haha thanks! For the motherboard I can't decide between a gold board or getting somthing all black like an asrock z77 extreme 4 and then putting gears in all different places, maybe if I can find ones small enough I can put them on the capacitors xD

If you do put gears n stuff on it that'd be epic. You could put it on that motherboard with the cover, using the cover as a canvas.
