The only thing that would be worth doing would be to mod it yourself. IE: using a dremel and cutting out your own designs or graphics on it. I wouldn't spend any money on the old case if your never going to use it for anything. I would only spend money modding a case if it was your primary rig.

if you think it's gay, then paint it pink and put some barbie stickers, pink neon/fans. cut a heart shaped windows on it's side, stuff like that

If you really want to go for it, step back and decide on the big picture aspect. What is the theme you want to work? Once you have that concept in mind, it will be more obvious what components of the mod you'll need to work on. If you just decide to do a mod without having some kind of focus, you'll end up with a disjointed gay rig.

The real problem with trying to put on a mirror coat is dust. So even if you do a perfect surface prep and put down a perfect primer (which I would recommend) a little dust during the mirror coat will show up like a sore thumb. I put a fake copper metallic paint on the interior of my case and to keep dust down, I put up a plastic tarp sort of like a tent, then a little while before painting the case, I sprayed paint into the tent from up near the ceiling. That helps to knock down the dust and also glues it to the floor (which I had covered with newspaper). It worked like a charm and the inside of my case is shiny as a baby's butt.
