My casemod project

some of you might have seen my questions about old PSUs recently, and this is why...

The Moneyshot =D

The top of the case..

My plans for it

Basic idea of what it's gonna be modded

They just dont make em like this anymore... stainless steel all around, heh

That is the ugliest case I have ever seen. I wish you luck.

Please tell me your not gonna camo that.. if you do, please do it in a better camo than Army camo.. research the camo some. I build and custom case's as a job.

You have a ugly case now, but you can make it better and make it something to be awe'd at.

($)

haha i know, i did a cheap photoshop camo

its gonna look a heluva lot better than that

Okay, here's an idea for something to do before you start. Buy a new case.

I got me a case recently, it's really good. It's going to be the most riced up thing you've ever seen. (If you know what I mean by "riced up"...it may just be a West Coast thing)

Case:


Got one of the black ones of the Vantec Nexus...but I'll need another since the case has slots for 8 fans, and I'm filling them.



It's going to glow so much I doubt I'll need a lamp anymore :razz: (All the fans are tri-blue LED).

Gorb that case is the pwnz.

My buddy down the hall has one that looks a lot like that... the little bastard gives off so much heat its not even funny :/

I think I'll just stick to my line of ghetto-mods :biggrin:

The setup I've got is quiet and cool...and great for overclocking...now just waiting to find a good place to get a Radeon 9700 pro from.

BTW The case was $80 CDN, comes with a 400w psu (that from many reviews I read is just as stable and reliable as Enermax ones) comes with 2 fans, has 5 HDD bays, 2 FDD and 4 Optical Drive bays. And the way all the components and wires are set-up is a dream...this case answered all my gripes while working at a computer shop last month (for work experience) such as "why the hell don't they have something that fits here...there's room here, use it!...these cables could be in a single molex...etc. etc. In short, I love this thing.

Whoa that camo job made it almost invisble to the naked eye...

does any of this help? or is this better?

my case:



EDIT: phwoar, sorry 56kers, my bad :biggrin:

AOpen makes one of the worst sound cards i have ever seen, are their towers any good?

the picture doesn't show off much of the case ... just the front ... at the back it has 3 fan slots, 2 inside, and the whole frame is made of steel not aluminium coated with enamel like most cases ... its also quite teh large ... oh and it's quiet ... it doesnt really advertise sound reduction, but i have 5 fans in there and its quiiieet..

Right now I've got the older, ghetto, beige version of that case for one of my b0x0rs... Pretty much the same front-end chassis from the looks of it.

It was cheap, and I haven't really had a problem with it. I've had it going on 2 years now, so its been a good investment.

I love that site!

Heh HornPipe, cool avatar. Sinistar was a real cool game back in the day.

Was cool how he said "Beware I Live" and then roared at ya when he came in to attack. :smile:

OK GUYS... After airbrushing some different camo designs onto some scrap metal, i can see that it really wouldnt look very good on the case. (yea yea money, you were right)

Anybody got any ideas unto what color to paint it? or Design? Right now, it's that ugly beij color =(

Here's the pic

Orph, I know of many mail order places, I'm looking for something local.

As for your case, kick it around, beat it down with a sledge hammer, give it the "mean" look.

i wasn't trying to be a chute about it bud, honest..

the reason i posted those, was to get an idea of cost, then have one of your local places order it from them, usually with bulk orders, they will cut some slack..

either way, it was not meant to be a slight.

No worries, I didn't take it as anything negative. It's just tough to find a 9700 pro these days.

Really really impossible game, though. I need a joystick to play it right, the keyboard emulating analog controls is not a good idea.
