Here's the case that In Win mailed me. It's called the Matrix and is a lot smaller than most other cases I've worked with.

I start once I get my paint!

buddha awesomeness i love that little fat guy

[TheGreatSatan]

This will be a little earlier with Enlightened Buddha, not so much fat happy Buddha whose belly you rub for good luck

[TheGreatSatan]

So here's the case

And that's how big it is

The side has a vent that comes off for easy cleaning. This one is staying off

This is how the front opens

The bottom has a bay for a card reader or something

The back let's you guide all your cables through one slot at the bottom

It can also be opened or removed

At the bottom back are tabs

You lift up the two tabs and pull out

Then you remove the faceplate like any other case

And only then can the side be taken off

Here the case is standing on its back as I remove the 5.25 bay

Then there's this plastic shroud. It's probably for the Processor air duct?

And there's the inside

Nice case, very different. Looks like an excellent base for your build.

smart buddha is just as good as fat happy buddha

"Fat happy Buddha" would have to be an A500.

(I've had a couple myself. They're great aside from ventilation.)

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I'm still working on it. I had my surgery and just haven't felt like putting pictures uup and stuff. Eventually I'll have a BIG update. I have finished painting and adding a window. I still have stenciling and adding bamboo to the side, among other things.

[TheGreatSatan]

I ordered some stenciling of chinese characters representing peace and hope. The window has been cut and the paint is on. I will not be using a clear coat because I want to avoid the shiny look left by it. I have bought a bunch of bamboo that I'm cutting for the case too.

EDIT: I also ordered a custom Window applique just for this mod from CrazyPC
