The case is new and not modified yet. I also have the original box for it. The case weights 4,5 kg, so this wouldn't be a shipping problem. Payment could be done with PayPal, but I don't have a real idea for a price yet, I also have to calculate the shipping costs.

The metal is strong enough, no aluminium foil thing. The only thing what's not so good is the method how the slots are fixed, but you don't need to go there every day. The complete weight of my system is 13 kg, but I have a lot of components in there. It's still easy to carry with the handles.

The modifications I'm adding is an isolation for the mainboard, dust prevention at the front and the side, this also covers the air holes which would appear black. The case comes with an adjustable airduct, so if you're using a flat cpu cooler (f.e. the Scythe Shuriken which is only 64 mm high), this may optimize the cpu's airflow. A little fix on the power button is neccessary, otherwise it can hang sometimes. I'm also adding a front Firewire connector. LED changing is recommended because the LEDs I'm using are clear, with the original ones you always see the green and yellow color. I have white, warm-white, red, green, blue and pink LEDs. Another method is to change the LEDs is to use two 3mm-LEDs which fit exactly in the front holes. This looks really cool. I'm thinking of a little electronics which allows to use a single LED for power and drive. A very crazy modification - I didn't made it yet but it would be possible - is adding an audio VU meter with 5 or 12 LEDs in the front, I know where to get some electronic PCBs for this. You can't see anything of this when the computer is switched off, so this must be a cool view when nobody expects it.

@Taisto: I know where these things are cheaper than on this auction, outside of ebay. And I also could do the modifications.
