We knew that if we were going to do a case review, there was no way we were going to show you a case full of tangled wires and cables. So we gave it a good effort and tried to keep things tidy. It may not be perfect, but we think it came out pretty clean. The next problem we faced was matching our CD and Floppy drives to the Aluminum case. There are quite a few cover plates available for most drives on the market that help match the drives to the brushed aluminum finish of the case. But, each one sells for around $8 a piece and can rapidly add up, and in our case it would take three pieces, totaling $24. Since we didn't have any at our disposal at the time of the review, we were forced to improvise. To get the drives to match the case as close as possible, we removed the covers for each drive and gave it a coat of Metallic Finish Rust-Oleum. Although they are not a perfect match, they were surprisingly close and a major improvement over the default beige color of the drives. The best part is the total cost was $4.59. Drop me a line and let me know what you think!

Once we got all our components in place, it was time to mount the Cold Cathode lighting, but there were a few hitches. For one, the unit has an On/Off switch that can be mounted on the case, but this required a good location and a drill. The switch's size and depth was rather large which really limited us from finding a suitable location to mount it. We were also a bit reluctant to take a drill to this great looking box. In the end, we really didn't feel we needed the ability to toggle the light on and off, especially since it shuts off with the computer. So we opted to mount all of the Cathode components inside the case, just above the floppy drive. This was much simpler to deal with and was a breeze to keep the wires neat with a few zip ties.

So we mounted the Cold Cathode light at the top-most part of the case, plugged it in and, voila, we were done. All in all, this was a fairly uncomplicated process that anyone should be capable of completing. Too bad CrazyPC doesn't offer a laser cut "Hot" panel ;)

When it comes to case modding, CrazyPC has really put together a great combination. The case is both strong, yet light-weight thanks to its all aluminum construction. The unit comes with an excellent supply of cooling fans whose speeds can be switched between three stages. We loved the tool less design of the Lian-Li PC60, making it one of the easiest cases this reviewer has worked on. The additional USB ports on the front of the unit were a nice bonus, but we would prefer to see their placement more accessible. Clearly the icing on the cake it the Biohazard panel and Cathode lighting kit. Once we got everything in place, the unit really looked impressive. The cost of the complete case with biohazard mod is $215 and the laser cut panel can be purchased separately for $69.95. For an additional $22 you can pick up a Cold Cathode kit with five colors to choose from. Keep in mind that you'll also need to factor in a Power Supply as well. When all is said and done, the CrazyPC Biohazard Case Mod is a sweet looking ride.
