Hehehe Started modding WAAAY back, while I was still schooling. About 1997-ish Teaktown.com & Casejunkiez.com were my main feed then
1st case I shaughtered was my Acer Entra 500 Used a hand-saw to get the window done Files & hammers were my best friends Couldn't (...or didn't know where to ) find acrylic easily back then, so I resorted to using spare window panes, the one with the patterns

Used to remember going to LowYat & asking for sleeves & CCFL's. Should've seen the look on the shopkeepers' face when I tried to explain what the HECK it was! Classic-man!

Man, things HAVE changed!
