This is my first modding project that i have started, and as you have probably guessed i am couldn't think of a proper name for my first mod.
Anyway this mod is based around a black case a accired form my girlfriends garage
The mod will be a new home for my current system
Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 2.1 Ghz
1 gig corsair value
asus P5B deluxe wifi
xfx 7600gs
160 gb samsung HDD
samsung sata DVDRW
The colour scheme of the mod is going to be black and red with possibly some polished aluminum.

Currently i have started work on the front panel but i haven't uploaded the pictures of what ive done so far and i dont have time at the mo.
There will be an update on the front panel as soon as i have the time to upload the pics.

Unfortunatly my update did not come as quick as i wanted it to and i got side tracked from the project but finally i ahve found the time to get something done.
I got the front panel cut and managed to started using body filler to fill the gaps before i realised that i forgot to take pictures. Opps
