Crowbar December 30, 2003 Share Crowbar Member December 30, 2003 Alright, I know at least a few of you have some cool modded cases and/or systems. I'd love to get an awsome looking system, but I don't really know what I'm doing, or what's even availible to do. So, get some pictures of your rig and post them up, and tell us how you did what you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playaa December 30, 2003 Share Playaa Member December 30, 2003 heh...all I've ever done case-wise is cut a 120mm hole in the side and screw a fan in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mmmm]Homer December 30, 2003 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member December 30, 2003 My case is heavily modified with added in motherboard, hard drives, PSU, CD-RW, floppy drive, fans, and removable drive tray. Looks just like this one, it's modifed to remove the window and I painted it beige. I have cool matching beige drives too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet-401 December 30, 2003 Share bullet-401 Member December 30, 2003 (edited) Don't ask about that blue man group sticker The middle 2 bays I did the simple Stealth mod with my DVD-ROM and 48x Burner. The yucky white thing came with my mobo.. I tells me if my comp is tossing cookies and has 2 usb connections. I also have that switch in my floppy bay to turn on my red cold cathode. The window mod came with the case... I just added stickers and a Red light up fan on the window. I was sick of all the messy power cables in there so I wire lumed them. I just put in my new 160 GIG SATA Hard Drive in.. Its the middle one The UV sensitive IDE cables came with my DFI Lan Party board. And I also bought the other clear rounded cable for my DVD-ROM and Burner. What I really want to do this summer is cut a blowhole in the top of my case and put a fan up there.

[Mmmm]Homer December 30, 2003 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member December 30, 2003 What a mess!!!!!! Clean that up soldier! 10 cents worth of zip ties could do wonders for your system. Either that or get some mini-blinds for that window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r December 30, 2003 Share All Kill3r Member December 30, 2003 (edited) golly gee! ! thats a wreck. Do your temps suffer from lack of airflow ? Seems like it would be an oven in there. just got a webcam, should have some pics up shortly Edited December 30, 2003 by All Kill3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet-401 December 30, 2003 Share bullet-401 Member December 30, 2003 Yeah im too lazy to futz with it.. usually when I do something goes wrong with it..like frying a mobo note to self.. dont use air in a can on inside of computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mmmm]Homer December 30, 2003 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member December 30, 2003 Ummm, compressed air is for use inside the case. Just don't take the system apart. Air will get where you can't see. Really. And don't tip the can at an angle so the moisture comes out. With that window you should be blowing out the dust more often so you can see what a mess those cables are.

bullet-401 December 30, 2003 Share bullet-401 Member December 30, 2003 Meh I tipped the can then... now I dont trust myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r December 30, 2003 Share All Kill3r Member December 30, 2003 (edited) Compressed air inside my case = life saver. Pic quality is not the greatest but you get the idea, its neat in there. All the original case fan openings have had the guards cut off to improves airflows with a 76mm holesaw. Monitor is 24in, 21viewable ( i measured to make sure ) Oh yea, case temps are only about 4-5c above ambient but with the addition of 3 blowholes in the top coming very soon i should be at almost ambient.

[Mmmm]Homer December 31, 2003 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member December 31, 2003 Nice Y S Tech fan knobs Killer, what I do too. Your pics are all backwards btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r December 31, 2003 Share All Kill3r Member December 31, 2003 (edited) hehe yea i noticed this is the next thing i plan to do, got some serious court stuff coming up at the beggining of the month so right after that its on. **EDIT** i dont want to start another topic just for this so...... anyone know a good place for web space hosting ? if not for free then for cheap Edited December 31, 2003 by All Kill3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mmmm]Homer December 31, 2003 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member December 31, 2003 Not modded, but here are some examples for a clean case. Note how the IDE cables are folded. You want to plan out the path and the bends before you crease them. The excess is tucked behind out of the way and if you take them off they retain their shape. Also, note the two Y S Tech fan knobs sticking out the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r December 31, 2003 Share All Kill3r Member December 31, 2003 simple yet elegent. me likes minus the onboard graphics. you can have the fanciest case and nicest hardware in the world and it is ruined by jungles of wires. Tidyness is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowbar December 31, 2003 Author Share Crowbar Member December 31, 2003 alright, I'm lookin at cases here, what do you guys think of the potential for these cases: that one is $65.00 made by Xsonic that one is $55 made by Skyhawk both I found through Pricewatch at Openlinx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Seattle so I prolly won't be making FF04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa December 31, 2003 Share Playaa Member December 31, 2003 my case needs the same fixing up...I have a TON of wires in there (though less than Bullet it appears) and they're just hanging everywhere....sometimes wires even get caught in my fan....I know it's a big but the fan doesn't spin anymore anyway.

[Mmmm]Homer December 31, 2003 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member December 31, 2003 Playaa, Are you a hack of a PC builder? Clean that system up, you'll feel better about yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa December 31, 2003 Share Playaa Member December 31, 2003 I'm NOT a PC builder though...it's just that 99% of the people I know are complete idiots when it comes to computers so I'm the only one that can do it. hehe as for my system....it's a completely crappy system that works wonders...I've got a 1.4ghz processor...a generic MoBo...VERY generic pc2100 DDR ram (512mb), 160GB HD space, cheap 32x burner and 16x dvd rom with exactly ONE 120mm fan in the side of the case (that doesn't work) an overheating Radeon 9700 Pro AIW and wires going EVERYWHERE inside and out....and it works GORGEOUSLY! I haven't had problems with ONE GAME (actually I have with just one game) running gorgeously and I can run nearly every program I want at once with no lagtime... I love my system. though I really want to get a new one but I can't afford to buy a whole new one and my components aren't good enough to slowly upgrade...I MIGHT get a new mobo and start from there...but dunno.
