thinking of adding a cathode light and painting the case next
-
why..??
I can understand performance mods, but not accestetics..
I would like to add some super cooling thing. I have been thinking about it for some time now.. Liquid Nitrogen, something along that line..
I looks good though, just not my cup of tea..

I think it looks great, i hate the look of my case, it is bland, and ugly, just like any other case.
-
I\'ve been thinking about modding my lil tower, since I\'m about to buy me another tower I don\'t have to get it perfect.
I suggest you check this site out http://www.virtual-hideout.net/cool_case/ it\'s the cool case gallery of a site deticated to case modding, some seriously crazy, well done and some not so well done stuff there. You can send in your pics since the guys over there will accept anything.
And there\'s a forum aswell.
:)
-
well done Mate.
love the window and did you just fit blue leds ?
thats put me in the mod for doing my case up, i have been planning it for some time now but now i guess you have inspired me.
*ooseven runs of the the DIY center to get some Plexiglass and spray paints*
Superb idea for showing of at lan partys
-
nice :)
I have seen someone painting a normal case black, adding some blue LEDs and a blue ps2 like stand. It looked pretty cool
-
I saw this case on a TV show where this guy did a kind of H.R Giger-type alien thing. It was airbrushed and had hoses hiding all the cables. His monitor was the same way. It looked F-n\' sick, but I can\'t imagine spending that much time on an asthetic mod.
Some nerds have way too much time on their hands.
*looks at watch, realizes he\'s been looking at this forum for about 7 hours instead of getting work done....
-
I am a pony!!!!
-
How much does it cost to do that?
Man you guys have lots and lots of money! :eek:
-
window = 25$
blue LED\'s = 6$
-
KEWL!
I like it..
I think Ill copy you..
A blue LED would be cool.. (Im starting to get tired of the green one) :eyemouth:
-
i gotta admit, the blue LED\'s look awesome
they\'re 3mm 5v blue LED\'s
easy as pie to swap out with old ones
im gonna do it with my keyboard LED\'s also
then my CD access light,. MWUHAHAHA! im on a rampage!
-
Ahhh, prices aren\'t too bad.
Still, I wouldn\'t spend my money on it. :)
-
*mm gives Fast an idea*
Yes.. Everything must be BLUE! (I love the blue led on my PS2!)
-
This would probly qualify as my favourite case mod evarr
It\'s just so cool, this was once an InWin Q500 until this guy got his hands on it.
Pic one (http://www.kittieworld.com/mods/front.jpg) cool
Pic two (http://www.kittieworld.com/mods/skull.jpg) even more cool, start and reset buttons embedded into the skull.
Pic three (http://www.kittieworld.com/mods/stealthcd.jpg) stealth mod I\'d like to try this one
Pic four (http://www.kittieworld.com/mods/topwindow.jpg)
Pic five (http://www.kittieworld.com/mods/window.jpg)
Pic six (http://www.kittieworld.com/mods/bottomwiring.jpg) I like how he compacted the IDE cables, that\'s some delicate work of you want it done right. And the dustfilter on his hsf, provided it must be cleaned regularly so it won\'t hinder the airflow but it will get a lot easier to clean. And lookie, he almost has the same mainboard as me, he has the KT7A-RAID while I have the KT7-RAID, but the difference between the kt133 and the kt133a chipset isn\'t that great.
Pic seven (http://www.kittieworld.com/mods/topwiring.jpg) He did the power cables aswell, although they aren\'t as difficult to do as the IDE cables.
Pic eight (http://www.kittieworld.com/mods/back.jpg) He should be getting some serious cooling with this monster. I have seen some more extreme coolong idea\'s. But most of those have seriously overdone it.
This case rules. Here\'s the guy\'s list of mods
- Cut out all metal fan grills
- Put 120mm blowholes for front-bottom intake and back-top exhaust
-Three piece lucite window on side, with 120mm intake and chrome molding, and top window
-Duplicolor Gunmetal/Silver blended paintjob on the outside
-Metallic Blue paintjob on the inside
-Also painted PSU, and all card cover plates
-Rewired power and reset switches, and power led
-Stealth CD-RW
-8 Port RCA 12v/off/7v Baybus, with temp probe monitoring case temp
-rerouted sound ports to front of case, with alternating headphones/speakers port
-added 2 extra usb ports to the front of the case
-lots of cable management..making things neater..loomed all power and data cables...made my own single device floppy cable
- 2 x 108cfm 120mm deltas blowing in, 1 120mm delta blowing out, 1 80mm blowing out + PSU
-ghetto panty-hose filters on all intake and cpu fans
-finally, did a lot of stuff to the front bezel with bondo...you\'ll have to see the pics
-
Thats a very nice Tower nO-One..
God.. If I only had money..
-
wow, thats overkill
cool case tho
/me stares at blue LED\'s *****

Well one can do some basic case modding pretty cheap, the stealth mod takes some knowhow, but it doesn\'t need alot of money put into it, and it does look good. Led changing is also quite something nice and cheap. And cutting a window takes some tools....and well...a window...but it isn\'t very expensive.
Now what you need to do is to get your self a neon light, put it inside the case, and get the window sandblasted.....that\'s something that really looks good. I know of a guy on another forum he sandblased windows, all you needed to do is tell him the dimensions and e-mail him the picture or logo you wanted and he\'d send it to you.
But seriously the case I posted before wasn\'t really all that expensive from what I hear. The guy found the skull (a plastic thingie) and the rest is just delicate work (rounding the IDE cables) and cutting. The real beauty is the molding he did for the skull. That must have taken some work.

New leds, a window perhaps going to have the window sandblasted. And I\'m thinking about getting one of those cable kits http://www.flexglow.com/cable.html most likely red.
