    With this Thread I will be taking the Beginning Modder through a simple mod and I will be Employing some or most of the Techniques used for Modding a brand new case or an older case..
    Here look at this to see this ugly duckling go to a beautiful SWAN!!

    First the tools of the trade.
    Great Online E-Tailer
    Where to buy some really nice Wire Sleeve. Check out this Thread.
    TABLE OF CONTENTS
    1 Safety
    2.What is a Donor Case
    3.Beginning your New Mod
    4.Wire Management and Component Installation.
    5.Window Cutting and Install.
    6. Design and Inspiration..
    7. What you need to know about LEDs
    8. Wire Sleeving done by the Best.
    9. Window Tinting your Acrylic Case Window.
    10. Modding Video's by Bill Owen himself..


    Tools of the Trade

    First thing first is a Dremel or other type of Rotary Tool..

    MNPCTech look at the Black and Decker Rotory Tool and some tips.


    Then the quick change end that goes on it.


    And some people prefer to have the Handheld Pencil Extension to the rotory tool for better precision.



    Then you need an extension to your p4 connector.

    and


    one of those fancy custom Motherboard connectors.

    You will need some wire Sleeving .


    And Some Heat Shrink tubing to hold the Sleeving in place

    A 1850 Watt Hair dryer to Shrink... The Shrink....





    Or a BiC Lighter and quick hands or you WILL burn the shrink and the wires.

    Tie Wraps...

    Some spray paint...


    Scotch Brand Green 233+ Frog Tape
    Bill Owen Recommends this as a Thicker more professional
    more expensive tape. sometimes paying a few more dollars
    Extra can save a paint job or stop you from ruining a build.

    X-Acto Knife Set..

    A "Plug in" 110 VAC Corded Drill

    A set of Metal Drill bits.

    A 4 1/2 inch hole saw from Lowe's or the internet.. This makes those really nice 120mm Holes..

    Some Pop Rivets..

    And a Pop Rivet Gun..

    MNPCTech.com Pop Rivet Tools Exposed[/URL]

    Straight Edged ruler or L frame square.

    Phillips Head Screwdriver..

    Flat Head Screwdriver..

    Wire Stripper/Crimper tool...

    Needle Nose Pliers

    2 C Clamps at least

    A good Pocket Knife...

    Half Round Bastard file

    Side Cutters.

    Soldering Iron. Butane.

    Resin filled Solder.

    Ohh..I Almost forgot.. Molex Pin extractor kit.


    Wow. I almost forgot.. Scotch model 4010 Tape of the gods..


    Ziploc Bags to hold your loose parts together. So re assembly is a breeze.

    Your Choice of soft drink or liquid refreshment..
    Imagination.....


    And of Course.. A little...



    Let's see...Am I missing anything else.??? Na.. that's about it. Well there is pretty much everything on this page...

    Beer drinking is like finger painting. When you are young, you do not care what you stick your fingers into as long as you got to do it. When you are older, eww Heineken? I really want a beer that comes from the factory skunked?

    Safety is the most important step in modding. It is really hard to mod anything in the ER.
    First of all. Your eyes are a very important and wonderful thing, so we need to keep them Safe. So for the organs that do so much for you; You will need safety equipment for them and other things you have as well.
    Trogalicious uses these Glasses, but a good set of wrap around Safety Glasses or Sun Glasses are THE Most IMPORTANT thing to put on before attempting a cutting or grinding project. If you don't have them, then wait.. Nothing is more important than OCN Modder's Eyes.
    Also use a Really good paper respirator is great when grinding and cutting metal.. Those little shards of metal can be inhaled into your lungs and can cause some havoc with your health later in life. So use a mask while you are Cutting OR Painting.
    I like this type.. Because I can use them for Grinding and Painting and Wally World has them for pretty cheap in the paint section.
    A good pair of Mechanic's gloves can really help you with cuts that come from a Crazed X-acto Knife and from sharp metal edging. Most guys Man Up and just go Commando and let the Blood flow and fly, but I would suggest that you don't... and use something on your girlfriends or boyfriends hands to protect them.. They don't like the bloody ugly cuts and scabs and will not let you touch them with those nasty hands. (If you know what I mean.).

    Do not cut on your wife's new counter tops because the consequences of making a mistake on them is way too high... so don't do it.. Don't!
    Your wife or your mother will dis-OWN you, Pwn you, Tea bag you after tagging you with a hard kitchen implement or worse..

    A woman is a very passionate creature and will get you back and never forgive you, if you mess up her counter tops so use a nice thick towel to grab the blade if you to go too deep and keep your Cutting Thresh hold to 3 mm. or 1/4 or an inch into the cut.. or hey never cut in the kichen unless its on a cutting board.
    But If you have a garage work shop. Outside covered drive way with a portable table.. Some Saw Horses and a nice piece of plywood. That is the best place to cut.. I DO NOT recommend this procedure at all and should never be attempted. We are talking Serious Tire Damage.

    I got Blessed with that.. I just bought enough to do the job. The left overs I did end up with fit in the truck and then we had free dump day that Saturday.. I made two trips..to the land fill. Two truck loads of Junk that I finally got rid of.. I want to go again.. I found nice metal lawn furniture there. Two Chairs, a Road Closed sign, and some skirting for the man Cave....

    Nice. My dump weighs in and out and has signs (and people) about no picking...When I redid the ceiling I traded a scrap dealer for taking the plaster trash (I bundled the lathe work and bagged the plaster) was a week long process. Iadded some other stuff in with it...

    Can't imagine doing the walls.
