I've might have seen custom CoH/CoV graphics/art painted on a case but nothing along the line of a Atlas City Hall case or an Arachnos Flyer case.
Or a Ghost Widow or a Sister Psyche rack mount.

Yeah, I think that's the most I've seen at some point - graphics painted/glued/etc. on a case.
Hmm....
Well if someone knows where I could get a good sized model of the Arachnos Flyer
(say 12" long by 8" high or so) [cheaply!], I could mod it up to hold a nano system
or maybe a micro-atx based board.
Add some lights and a sound effect generator for the pew-pew 
and it could be interesting.

You could do some interesting things with cooling, I'm sure, though. (And really, if you're going to mod a system with a COH theme... it should run COH.
) Other options:
- Architecture - Freedom Corps building (Galaxy,) City Hall (Atlas,) Cole's tower (Praetoria.) Though they're rather straightforward.
- Statesman's helmet. Poke him in the eye to turn the system on.
- Recluse's helmet. For the glowy bits.
- Nemesis mole machine.
- The Air Raiders offshore base in Sharkhead. Not as iconic, but it's there.
- A jump bot. (rather narrow, though - maybe built around a nettop.)
- Kronos titan. (Actually, any Malta titan would probably be among the easier ones to scratchbuild.)
How about a Jaeger?

Of course, you can't have those without one of these to lead them:
Girl Genius for the win!!
The other one scares me.....

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Has anyone done any CoX-themed case mods?
I did a quick google search and the closest I could find was a "Company of Heroes" one. And the forum here has a thread with a WH40K one.

I'm just looking for inspiration.
Whatcha got?
