So, as for many I'm sure money is tight this year so for x-mas I'm building my son a "hand me down PC"... But, to give it some flair i decided to custom mod his PC case.. he's 9 years old and loves anything to do with our military so I thought a US Army mod was in order. Here is where I am at this time. I will update as I go.. Comments and input is welcomed. Forgot to take a picture of the case before I started. Here it is. ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/yhst-39083765508394_2081_76473269-uv7wa.jpg) Sanding and dis-assembling ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/pc_case1-aDHYq.jpg) Hated the window of the case so I modded it. later on after paint I will add a piece of plexiglass to it. ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/pc_case2-3k2Uq.jpg) primer completed... ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/primer3-paH7l.jpg) ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/primer1-YBcF0.jpg) ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/primer6-ayvTJ.jpg) ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/primer2-74lZf.jpg) first coat on paint.. ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/paint1-ox7b6.jpg) ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/paint2-W3Z9m.jpg) here you get a good shoot of my cutting skills or lack of skill lol. this was a 80mm fan hole now it will fit a 120mm fan ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/paint6-dKs9D.jpg) ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/paint3-ONgHU.jpg) More to come in the next couple of days... Til then ttfn

I forgot to add the hardware I'd be using. Most of it was from former rigs of mine some stuff I bought off friends on EVGA's Forums.. The GPU was a prize from EVGA for the "Lucky #777" giveaway. Still not a bad system at all in my opinion..
ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 G.Skill PI 2x2GB DDR2 PC-6400 EVGA GTX260 Core 216 SSC Raptor X 150GB 10,000RPM HHD OCZ Extreme Gamers 700watt PSU LG 19" widescreen LCD 1440x900 Saitek keyboard Logitech MX518 mouse

The V on the door will be black/bronze like the grill just haven't got that far yet.... ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/reassemble1-S3TiW.jpg) Also the rivets will be painted the same black/bronze haven't done that yet either lol ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/reassemble2-95OT5.jpg) And the door window hasn't gotten the plastic protecting off it yet... ![Image](http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/reassemble3-FGRxb.jpg)

Looks like you are doing a great job! I found something you might be interested in adding to this PC. Stardock.com has many really cool themes in the MyColors selection! This one is a camo desktop theme and looks really cool: http://www.stardock.com/products/mycolo ... &c=designs![Image](http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/2609/camouflagevista.jpg)
