Silverstone TJ09 project

Hello everyone this is an introduction to my Silverstone TJ09 case which will be my first full computer case mod project.
I bought this case on eBay for $75 but my mom was nice enough to let me have her $40 in eBay bucks so I only paid 35$ with free shipping so I figured this would be a good case to start learning the art of moding
my plans for this case are to paint the inside black applying carbon film to the outside and cut some cable management holes I thought about trying to mod it water cooling but I think that would surpass my moding skills.
One great thing about this case is there are very few rivets 4 by my count
the rest is all screws so that should make painting a little easier.
Another thing is that there is a USB 3.0 upgrade kit for it
Silverstone also sell radiator adapters for this case so that is nice.
The pictures of the case look a little bear that's because I've taken everything out and cleaned and I haven't put the fan mounts back in because I'm going to put some new fans in it eventually.
This is also my first high-end/enthusiast case albeit it is 6 years old it is still awesome.
It Is also my first completely aluminum case and the difference between aluminum and steel is amazing! The aluminum is much lighter and feels much better.

The pictures are in the link

I've just bought my first Silverstone case recently, one word Quality.

Will look forward to keeping up to date with this one.
 
quick update
i got the cable management holes cut only i seem to have went completely stupid for a minute because I cut the holes from the front of the motherboard tray instead of the back so now there is a few little scratches and dents on the front of the motherboard tray but I think I found a way to fix that I'm going to cover the motherboard tray in 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber along with the outside of the case.
now I just need to buy the cable management grommets.
