[olug] Case Mods

[Brink]

It seems to keep cooler running a vaccuum in the box.  I recently bought more 
tubing for water coolant.
I also like the idea of plexiglass - I cut a rounded rectangle out of my old 
box and inserted one.  Looks good.  I've also heard of ppl cutting air 
filters and squeezing them in between the fans and case, although I think 
that'd heat it up/cut down flow.
I'd really like to see a stainless steel case, myself.
