Pics of a buddie's case he built and I cut the side panel...

This is Capt'n Slugs mini-LAN case..
He built the computer and I cut the side panel...he wrote
"Booyah! After 5 months of anticipation and coordination with Charlie (64Thunderbolt) I've finished my LAN rig! I modded everything (Heatsink, Case, Lighting, Cables) except the drives. This low-budget Small Form Factor gaming machine measure a meager 15 x 12 x 4 inches and weighs in at only 8.5 pounds!
The guts are ..
"Duron 900
Asus A7N266-VM (will eventually be upgraded to an nForce2 mATX mobo)
256mb PC2100 DDR
IBM Travelstar 12GB UDMA66 Laptop Hard Drive (tiny and silent)
Samsung 24x Laptop CD-ROM
165w Enlight PSU
Enlight Slim case

I modified the heatsink to allow the usage of an EXTREMELY thin 80 x 80 x 10mm fan instead of the regular high-pitched 60mm fan. Using only low-speed or 80mm fans, I was able to drop the over-all system noise level to 21Dba. The Duron hasn't gone above body temperature yet. Even when I play UT2k3. This machine has been sitting next to my desk Folding 24/7 for the past 4 months.

Enough blabber, onto the pics! "

It was a BTC keyboard, not sure the model, it died on me about 4 months back.

It may not be the exact same one, but very similar. check www.btcusa.com if it interests you.

I already found one

it's nice and slim but seeing the bomber made me go play my old chunky gray gameboy with wario vs. him

did you just put a piece of plexi behind the area you cut? Care to share details. I like that.

Hi there I am new to Modding case's and have been wondering how to cut holes in the sides of cases like you did. What did you use to cut them?

Some modders use a Dremel rotary tool with a reinforced cut-off disk attachment. It all depends on the complexity of the design you want to cut out. A Jigsaw with a metal blade can do the trick quite nicely as well. Usually the cut out is then cleaned up by hand with a fine metal file and sand paper (wear protective gloves cause the metal gets sharp after cutting)

Always wear your safety glasses!...I can not express that enough.
