Case modding, My next adventure.
« on: September 23, 2002, 02:57:25 AM »
Well, I\'ve gone wacko on computers.. my latest adventure will be into case modding.. This is what i\'m gonna be doing..

First off, buying 2 round IDE cables and a floppy Cable.



Gonna cover my powercables with black covering.

Getting a Clear case panel


Gonna get a new Sink/fan
Valcano 9 Coolmod cooler. Which changes colors during HDD access...

A memory cooling system, Gonna cool my mem, wanna overclock it alittle, or alot.




A Case light, which shows up all the insides of my case.


and finally, new case fans.. Which also change colors

 I may add a laser cut grill to the cpu fan/sink. For a kewl effect



I may add a baybus, but doubtfull right now.

Will be fun to do.

All this will be done slowly. I may change things here and there. It\'s just a groovy facelift and also gives me something to do. :)

I found my case..

I\'ll keep with the blue kinda theme.. Blue lights inside etc. I may change to silver ide cables though. I don\'t really wanna buy a new case... Don\'t need too.

Bah.. don\'t need a faster processor... The Ti4600 card i\'ll probably be getting, Getting prices tomorrow. Like i said, if it\'s under 500 i\'ll get it..
The aluminum cases i don\'t really care about.. Not right now anyway, Also i haven\'t seen ones that would match the color of my dvd, RW, disk drive etc.  Would look strange buying a blue case and i have cream/gray colored roms.
 I could make my own side panel, i may have to if i can\'t get the panel.. But i rather a prebuilt one, i hate f@#ken around. I also like the inbuilt fan, it\'s groovy. :)

mm,  I\'m kinda tossing up between round metallic IDE cables or plain black ones.. I guess with the metallic ones u get heaps of reflection from the lights.. but in my case it would look strange.. Then again i could always just buy metallic ones when i get a new case. What did u use to cover the power wires.. I\'m thinking of goin to jaycar or dicksmith electronics and seeing if they have any wire Insulation plastic.. That coiled type that u warm up and it contracts around the wires etc.

Tyrant I\'m guessing u just add extra tape over the buttons, so u just push in a certain point and they open.

I may get this baybus.. Not sure..

Really depends on how many fans i end up having.. Right now it looks to be 4 case fans..

I always planned on modding my chieftec dragon full tower



plan was to cut a window into it, get some cool neon lights in the case and add a few more fans.

But I\'ve been too damned lazy to start on the project
