First off let me make clear I've no desire nor intention of trying this myself - to me a pc is something to use rather than an object of beauty in itself. Nevertheless trawling through a lot of sites recently has opened me up to the possiblities of doing interesting things with these cases.

So I thought how about a thread where we put in ideas for cases and should anyone's fancy get tickled they can boost the ideas for themselves (free of charge!).

So here are my pennyworths.

#1 - An empty case. You know how you can get these clear cases well it seemed to me it'd be nice to have an invisible system in one of these. I can think of 2 ways to do this, both of which are about illusion.

First off you could take a small camera (you'd obviously need 2 one for each side) and put it on the other side of the case facing away from the pc. You have two thin screens inside each side of the case. You then broadcast the image onto the opposite screen. Thus anything on the other side would be visible through the case. Would this work?

Second off is more of a cheat. Same kind of case or one of those with a large panel in the side. (Ok this is big time cheating and not really modding) Use a shuttle system stored vertically inside the case at the front of the unit where the drives sit. But to make it interesting have some cables inside the larger case that quite obviously are broken. Perhaps even have some kind of unit hanging down . I like the idea just at present of a working unit that looks utterly bust.
