Hey guys,
for a long time I was just an inactive reader here at xtreme systems, but after seeing the announcment of this contest I needed to register. Even though I had some problems, german mail adresses aren't that popular, I'm finally here to show you my contribution to this contest :cool:
I'd rather let the pictures tell, so let me just say that the theme of the mod is Lamborghini. I really like these cars and I let myself inspired by especially the Lamborghini Aventado and Reventon.
Here some pics of the original case:

Big thanks to my girlfriend and a friend of mine which helped out some times working on the case.
Now I'm very proud to name the sponsors of this project:

Now lets start with the first real update about what I did so far!
At first I disambled all the stuff I didn't need, that was a lot :D But I didnt take pictures.
Second step: I cutted some angle sections:
http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080295_zps1ea3875e.jpg
http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080298_zpscf886762.jpg
These parts were mounted on top of the case. But why? :P
http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080324_zps80c874ed.jpg
http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080327_zps270d9aec.jpg
After that, I began to cut out some plexiglass.

http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080342_zps055238e4.jpg
After cutting it, I arrange the parts...
http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080310_zpsa5eea419.jpg
...and began to glue them together:

http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080356_zps546469c4.jpg
Some parts were bended by using a heat gun:
http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080336_zpsb1c0ea7a.jpg
http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080338_zps2b721aff.jpg
Adjusted, ground and mounted:

http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080367_zps81784089.jpg

http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080379_zps107832f2.jpg
Now it looks like that:
http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080397_zps67185db5.jpg
The top of the case must be adjusted to fit the All in One Watercooler from Enermax:

http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/flix_album/Lian%20Li%20Contest/K800_P1080388_zps2a4b825d.jpg
Now it's time for the highlight of this mod. :)
What would a Lamborghini mod would be without some gull-wing doors?
I will use some gas springs which are normally used for furniture.
