I think the real problem is that most people buy newer cases that already have all the bells and whistles you could mod on your own. I bought an Antec 900 and I can't think of anything that I could do that wouldn't make it look rediculous. It used to be you had to add a window w/ a dremmel and throw come cold cathodes in but now you can just buy em pre-made. Takes all the fun/frustration out!
While this is true, to a point, modding chases the spirit of customization. Every person that gets a case can find things that they wish had been done differently. And on the really active modders, it becomes a challenge to customize that high end case to make in unique and special.
So, yeah, a lot of the cases out there today have really been following forums like this to come up with designs that take what we do into account.
Dare I say that even the most "customed" vendor case can always be painted /polished/dremmeled/LED'ed/fan'ed/etc, no matter how sweet the case is out of the box. Modding will never die... :)
Case Modders usually will not buy a pre-modded case. I rather get a plain case, select a theme for the MOD and go to town. Now the SDCM (Seriously Deranged Case Modders) will look at most anything and think WoW that would be a sweet case mod project.
Its true that pre-modded cases have taken its toll on the modding community but I can remember when cases had the AT Form Factor, and Modding was considered stupid to most folks. Why ruin a perfectly good case. LOL
They threw me in college and I lost all my S P A C E !!!
... Whadda crock! :(
EDIT: HELLOOOO TAZ!
zy that is a sweet ride nice job

Well then, being one of the younglings I have to bust in, lavish my praises upon our most high modding overlords.
But most of all..... welcome back ! :) Looking forward to see some mods, I'm a student right now and have little time for a mod. :) Thinking of making a 120mm blowhole and another blowhole for a 120mm LED fan for my window !
I would get into modding but I'm a n00b with tools.
