I've already modified it somewhat with a couple fan enclosures along the right side as you can see, along with 2 fan controllers and a hard drive cage on the bottom left. Pretty standard stuff :)

here you can see both side windows.
I've stripped out my insides as you'll also note as i'm about to get her powder coated. i'm gonna use coolercases UK's new service and see what i get. i'm gonna dye my water blood red to go with a somewhat 'vampire' theme so i'm at ends of what colour to paint it.

remember to dry your shrinkwrap evenly to maximise volume and give it a healthy looking sheen.
