    Any ideas on the design for a computer case? Such as what type of materials to use such as metal mech, plexiglass, etc... I just want the case to have blue in it, and maybe black or silver.

    Also if possible I want to moddify the look on the front of my cd-rom drive. Any ideas on that?

    A place that I found with alot of helpful tips is thebestcasescenario.com the guy that owns the site and runs thr forums also made a book that is worth getting if you wanna do this kind of stuff. There are also affiliate links on the site that will send you to other good case mod forums.

    I think there are certian plastics that most companiesuse to manufacure their cases. Like Teflon, Plexi Glass, and a few other that have slipped my mind :P

    I just wanted to make a case because most of the nice ones are around $100

    the material doesn't matter so much as the construction etc.

    making a case will likely set you back 30-40$ and some labot. make sure to measure EVERYHTING OUT perfectly.

    I'm considering amkgn a case as wel jsut for the hell of it.
