A Better P160

This is a sort of pre-work log post of a mod I've recently come close to finishing. Through a silly trade with a friend of mine, I wound up with an extra case, an Antec P160. My big gripes with the case were: 1) the chrome. its gaudy and makes the front look busy. 2) the holes that run around the edge of the bezel totally bypass the air filter, making for nice dust intakes. and 3) there are at least 3 different layers of mesh/grille in between the fan and the outside of the case. So in one fairly simple mod, I took care of all 3 problems, making the case much cooler looking and, of course, very unique.

If anyone really finds any of this interesting, I'd write up a worklog of what had to be done, complete with a handful of pictures.

I think a link of what it looks like would be a good start. Got one?

And mid-mod, as its still not totally painted:

Final pictures are waiting for: last coats of paint, paint to dry (overnight event), and final assembly.
