Hi all!
I've been a fan of the Thermaltake Soprano/Tsunami Dream case for a LONG time and finally got 1 of each and want to do some pretty mods:

*rip drive cage out of Soprano case and replace with the Tsunami D's nicer more modular drive cage setup
*Repaint Soprano with mirror finish
*Cut out top USB/firewire and replace with out fan.
* replace window with a high tint perspex.
* Do the usual fan/ Grill bling thing ;)
i want to use the Soprano Chassis specifically because its nice thick steel compared to the Alli of the TD
SOOOO! any tips on how to:

* Remove powder coating etc off the nice chunky soprano case
* Hack something together so each hard drive has its own LED
* Do it all on a budget.
