This is what I've done so far to my mod....I chose a deep green and maybe some gold accents. I will keep this updated as I continue to work on this case.

looking good so far, I’m interested to see what you do to fit an ATX board.

fitting an old atx mobo just to see so far so good.

I noticed you removed the top shelf to fit the ATX motherboard. Will you be replacing the sliding lock spring clips to hold the side panel?. Can we see photos of the rear?.

heres what i got i kept the latch i will use a couple screws and secure the back panel to the case(right of latch area) i also have more left g5 grill im gonna use to secure the panel on straight and yes i did take out the top shelf resulting in me creating a shim for the latch bc it wont click down all the way and i also created a shim for my radiator mount that has enough tension to not move and able to pull out without trouble to clean.

That's a really neat job on the back!, did you fabricate that back green panel?. Will you mount it inside or outside?. What motherboard are you fitting?. It's good to see a neat back panel, I've seen some that have been butchered!. I built mine to look original, and because I didn't cut the back, everything but Ethernet is in the PCI slots. I also noticed that you have a green front panel, can you explain what you're planning for that part?. Will you replace the original front panel or have it mounted inside?.

I took that back panel from an old gaming case and painted it that color, that black piece on the inside will have a 240mm aio mounted to it. that panel i cut a hole in for side window for glass to be cut later to fit into that window. and heres a pic of the rest if the case painted.

oh i will add a usb3.0 to front io and i resoldered power button. i will have my 2700x mobo x470 taichi with my gtx 1080. once i get more money for a bigger psu i was gonna dual boot with an rx580 for my hackintosh.

its almost done, i will glue magnets to the bottom bc i have magnetic dust filters im gonna to the same to the front(inside) and add a usb3.0 to the front i/o i also need to figure out a way to put the old drive bay up top towards the front. and do some touch ups bc i was testing the fitting of everything and scratching stuff up.
