If so, I want to see them. I have an Intel SC5100 server case which is currently being used as my parents' bedside table which I was meaning to make into a server for the printer, Gmod and for general stuff in the house. However I don't think I can justify paying out for another computer for this task, as mine does all of this nicely at the moment anyway.

Anyway, my computer's current case is a pile of poo which I bought for a tenner (including power supply) temporarily. Two years have gone by and I'm still using it. Which brought me to the idea that I could tart this case up as it has loads of space for hard drives and the cooling is excellent. It also has nice little touches like the side panel screws can be undone by hand and you can lock the front panel to stop people fecking around with it. I might even try making a water cooled rig out of it.

I saw one somewhere on the 'net a while ago that was sprayed black with a perspex window put in and water cooling, which I thought was quite cool.

Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, advice or inspiration please feel free to contribute.

Obviously a bit OTT but still interesting to look at!

Never mind the cables, I'd be more worried about the hard drive half hanging onto the cage by two screws and the other one that seems to be balanced on its end leaning onto it Laughing.

A friend of mine does a lot of modding. He does helmets, bike parts computers. It's all hand painted too, he hates decals!
