| The case was originally made this way, it is a very rare case, so I decided to cut on it.. The prob is that putting a windows in will be hard, cause the whole case comes off like a shell. I am going to paint it black, and will take the idea of glow string seriously and see what I can do on the front.. Thanks for the advice and complements guys.. This will be so old school and cool, a Doom1 machine... Any ideas for a name for it? I will also get some pics of the inside for ya'll tommorrow.
