Mod that mofo. Cut out the fan grills, slap some new cool ones in. Paint it. The possibilities are limitless!

Post a picture of it or give us a link to it or something similar and we can give you some more specific suggestions.

Tyreal suggested some of the great basic mods to improve your case's performance. Beyond that, we kindof have to see what you are dealing with here...

WOW, is that case even functional? What form factor is it? Do you even have hardware to go in it?

As far as new/different mods, you have to be creative and think of what kinds of things you wish cases had, and then go from there. Think about a nifty creative way to implement some kind of feature or design that you would really like your case to have. That's usually where I start.

well from the look of that last picture, it doesnt look like an ATX style board . . . so that could possibly be modded to fit one, and you could attach that fan to the side somehow.

Sun Microsystems have their own form factor. They are like Macintosh in that respect. That case looks like its in really good shape, just needs to be cleaned up. I think the Mod here is converting a Sun case to ATX. I think you should just stick with the Sun Microsystems Theme here. Sun Microsystems is known for their Workstations and Servers. I think you should either install the Sun Solaris OS or a Distro of Linux. Sun also uses ubuntu on some of there Sparc workstations.

As far as converting the case goes you might want to start with finding a Motherboard tray, then cutting the Sun Box so the MB Tray will fit. With the rest of the theme like I said you should stick with the Sun Microsystems Logo.
