My new proud case

I had to keep the "My new" part in the title.. Just dont you guys start up again :razz: Unless its Lep's gay lover Klaus.

My case before I cleaned it up. Notice the mess of wires. The big red wire is a rounded IDE cable for my CD drive, which I stuffed the excess under the A drive.



After, I took my computer apart and cleaned it out and put it back together. Notice, the cables are nicer. I put a fan filter (a piece of swiffer cloth :biggrin: ) Also notice that the little red EL cable isnt there anymore. I hid it away.



And finaly, the whole case. The red lighting in front is a red EL cable kit. Its the black box inside the case on the bottom. The blue box on the bottom left is the inverter for the CCFL light.

Ooooooh, pretty glowy 'puter :smile:

I'm not trying to be offensive, but I generally dislike cases with a window on them. >.O

Well there is a considerable improvement in the before and after pics. Besides, theres only so much one can do without zip ties :biggrin:

yeah, quite a big improvement :smile:

My new ...crowd race.

I couldn't find any words last time rhyming with Klaus (Lep's gay lover). I'm happy this time :smile:

My new Klaus race?

Klaus is back? Allright!

Love the case wildcard. Blue cathodes look real cool, and I love those red ide thingys.

I must get some pic's of my case, and hi-jack this thread :biggrin:

The chassis I found down the tip, the shell is from a 100mhz server, the internals were brought from a shop, and it was cut apart with a hacksaw...

/ me runs to find camera.

Alien Sniper _ LOWES Sells a wide range of Wall Paper.. and guess what this is back in style! ( they have it at LOWES )

Case.. Not bad.. Cables need to be wrapped, it looks a bit unkept. I
would of been more impressed had you done the case conversion work
yourself instead of buying a ready to go case off the shelf. =) heh
heh..

Tidy?!? You call that MESS tidy?!?

THIS is tidy m'laddy:







Apologies for crappy image - My Digi cam is possibly the worst in the world. The guys who made it wont even acknoledge that they ever did...

I'm sorry, but I simply do not understand why you would spend good money on trash like these stupid fancy cases.

I'm sure you buy things other people would consider silly. :smile:

I dont have the $$$ to buy silly things...

I have a similar Artec case, except mine is sealed and all black. The only embellishment I did was use an LED fan on the front intake, which gives a nice, subtle blue glow that comes from the front grill. Good enough for me, not like anyone else really sees it. I prefer that kind of simple elegance anyway.

BTX cases should be out in a few months I think. Supposedly they will have more efficient airflow/cooling, though I don't think they look any different on the exterior.

It's like doing up a car really. Rude boys and their Turbo-charged Fiestas and Golfs, with custom interiors etc. By the time you did all that, you could have bought a better car for less money. Similar mentality - people like to personalise their equipment.

as long as its a fetish that is harmless i see no issues myself.. many people, grownups especially will spend themselves broke to follow a dream of the perfect bass boat.. or a gun collection measuring in the 10's of 1,000's of dollars..these hobbies are destructive.. assuming you don't have a silver spoon up your arse.

a pc case is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things i suppose.. i don't go into the lights of clear sides much, but a nice jet black case with red trim.. now that would be something to be proud of :smile:

My case cost ?40 which included all the modding stuff that I have.

Yea, Cables are going to get fixed up at the end of the summer when I get a new PS unit with sleeved cables already done. Then I'll fix the rest of the wireing. As for the case, I bought it not really for the window, but the case itself. Cause I loved it, and great for the price.

Nice case, looks like somthing from Aliens

I like my case, sort of, classy but modified.. But none of that "fancy" s**t like Thermaltake's Xaser cases... in fact any of their cases.. Stuff too flashy just looks ugly.

Anyways, with b-day comming I've got mom asking me what moddings I wanted to get. You, know, the non-expensive stuff. So I asked for a blue EL cable kit, since I have that red one in right now, but I wanted blue. The only reason I have a red one in there is cause Phil was going to throw it away so I said I'd take it.

I also want to get a second cathode light. But Im unsure if I should go with a second blue one or a UV light. Since, if I get the PSU I want (get the PSU eventually) It comes pre-sleved in UV blue.

I'm sorry, but I simply do not understand why you would spend good money on trash like these stupid fancy cases.

Same here.

Unless the thing doubled as a table or something.

Or a conversation piece. I'm taking my computer over to the squadron on Saturday, since Im using it for the DJ'ing. And Im pretty sure my case would look much more... nicer? or... appropriate than a plain beige case. Thats all I ever see... plain, and beige.. I want something different.

Like I said, if you have a reason, that's different.
But most people "mod" their case for no reason.
If it's for your profession or for selling or pretty much anything except being tucked away in some corner as your personal computer, then I have no beef with it.

Also, all I ever see are black and purple cases. Also, Mac is the only company who ever had "beige", the others are off-white, and no where near any sort of yellow/orange on the spectrum.

Fine then, be technical :razz:

Im not into the "hardcore" modding. I just want something... different.
