does anybody have any ideas for modding a laptop case? (fans, cathodes etc)

Not much room to install any extra components let alone modding.

Agreed. The cases are designed to be small and space efficient. If you wanna mod, a laptop isn't the way to go. That is, unless you're wircked skilled with plexiglass and can a new case for it.

i dont agree with u 2 guys sry. thers enough room to mod a laptop and people have done it. now it definatly voids your warranty so if it breaks its your $$$

1. you can paint it
2. you coul put in some plexiglass and add low voltage led's

i would do the plexiglass one cause its easy and would look super sweet

It would be better and wiser to buy one already modded.

omg did you see those prices?

might as well buy an alienware.

Alienware = monetary rape.

i agree with that, my point was, there seems to be almost no difference in the price of a voodoo pc, and an alienware.

I will post a pick when I get home

I put a plexi panel so you can see the drive and put some uber blue bright leds in it (took a long time to find a suitable power source to tap into) and the I polished the drive. So it looks sweet.
