After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Introduction
Case modding is done for a variety of reasons, some are done for looks others are done to increase
cooling, some are even ghetto in style (aka duct tape and staples) but they have one thing in common, they are designed and
built by computer enthusiasts to personalize their system making it different and unique.
The Shuriken mod is my most involved project to date and is derived from the Antec SX635 reviewed here at Ninjalane.

As will all case mods it is highly recommended that you remove all electrical parts from your case and
when possible remove the panels that you plan to work on for easy access and cleanup.
As you can see the much talked about and widely hated support bar was the first piece to be removed. Strangely enough there where 5 rivets holding it in place, its almost like they didn't want you to remove it.
