wow, lookin' good BigDK!! Glad you recovered nicely from the crack.
I'm also planning to take remove the acrylic from the door, amd cutting out/ sticking back on that oddly-shaped little cooler master logo (or maybe put it somewhere in the interior). Very retro cool!
Can't wait to see the final result.
Edit: cutting out that CM logo on the brushed aluminum part of the VGA "tunnel" thing migh also make a nifty badge
Edit: just wondering about the HDD cooling (one of my bigger headaches in figuring out how to mod this thing), given that it appears you're retaining the stock HDD cage setup while putting fans up front. The 6 hdd's are stacked on top of each other in pairs, with air channels between the stacks. I think the original design was that the exhaust fans would draw air from the (surprisingly small imo) bottom vent under the cage up through the vent on the top, blowing by either side of the vertical hdds (that was the theory anyway). With the HDD on the top interior getting the added benefit of the stock intake blowing up beside the meshed steel part of the cage (maybe a bit of a added-draw benefit from the opening to the hdd right underneath.) So won't the airflow from the fans up front (intake I'm guessing?), run smack into the 2 HDDs closest to that end? No doubt cooling those down a lot, but I'm wondering it will benefit the other ones very much. I'm no expert at this by any means, but I thought I'd mention that thought.
