A buddy of mine from work gave me an old 386 computer he had that has been sitting in a back room for probably longer than some of you have been potty trained (circa 1988). Anyway, the dimensions fit perfectly on a shelving unit I have where I had planned to put a HTPC. So I am planning over the course of the next few months to mod and paint the case for this purpose. This will be my first case mod to include modding and painting (I'm not counting cutting holes with a Dremel for fans etc.) so I'd like some feedback from you guys as to how you think I should set up the front panel. This is a very simple picture of the front panel I made in MS Paint HERE.
Any comments and suggestions on mods, color schemes, etc are appreciated. It will take me a while to get around to completing any painting so keep the suggestions coming. The only stipulations I would have is that I'd kinda like to keep the retro reset turbo panel (suggestion on rewiring this also appreciated) and may need possibly need to work some cooling in the front panel as well.
Thanks
