[sanotter]

Hey guys, im wondering what the best case for modding purposes is, needs decent airflow and motherboard backplate but dont really care about anything else

must be max £70

Thanks!

What kinda mods have you got in mind?

I want to do the following things:

window mod (if not there)

paint it, then add maybe red/orange circles in varying diameter?

maybe paint grilles?

pop a few rivits from unneccicary hdd cages

stuff like that, maybe add a flight toggle switch... allways wanted one of those...

i would buy a 2nd-hand case (or cheapie) first to practice on

yeah, im thinking 40-70 pounds because if i muck it up it doesnt really matter all too much unless i muck up the window...

Someone posted on here ages ago that if you want to practice making holes and cutting and stuff then you could always practice on a cheap baking tray from Poundland before you start on your case.

You could always buy something like a 2nd hand Antec 900, which needs a lot of work and cutting for good cable management, and is plum for a good window mod and has lots of grills to paint.

hmm yeah that sounds good, would i use spraypaint or is a spray gun much better? antec 900 definatly seems like a good option

to me this looks great?
