For stealthing drives I used this on my computer worked like a charm and was easy to do for any skill level.

[nocturnx]

Yes i just got my new powersupply yesterday, but havent put it in yet, I read up on it before i ordered, its a theramaltake xaser 480w psu, almost got a 350w enermax but used the psu calculator and found that im near or goin over 350w with every thing i got and plus im gonna be adding another hdd, posibly a baybus and 1 or 2 more fans. Also i found 1/4" chrome loom and ordered 10' of that, not sure if it will be enough tho. Heres the link if anyone wants that http://www.extremealterations.com/product_info.php?products_id=265

Nice.. is it worth it would it decrease my temps.
Looks kool though

[Mr N8]

Its a great looking mod, but not very effective.

BTW - Nice looking insides, oddjob. What kind of case is that?

[oddjob]

...Thermaltake DuctingMod on a stock heatsink. cpu - 46C idle, sys. temp 35C idle. No different than without the DuctingMod :( (granted, the "look" it gives me only cost me $15, and that was Canadian dollars! Not too bad.)

As for the case, alas it is just one of those generic ones that stores tag as their "house brand" with an oem 350W psu. Fortunately, I've never had any issues with it. It is a couple years old, and similar ones can be found here as the "house brand": http://www.eglobalbc.com/index.asp

Good guys, good prices, excellent service. Can't say enough good things about them. Best part is they are a 15 minute drive from my place!

Cheers!

[nocturnx]

I chrome loomed some of it and switched out the PSU. Added 3 more pictures showing the loom and new psu.


http://community.webshots.com/user/nocturnx

You can see in the pictures theres still alot of visible wires running along the top and bottom. How do you guys hide that? I used 1/4" loom, which is pretty small and it wont fit over the bulk of wires at the top. How do you guys hide the extra molex connectiors? You can see alot of wiring laying at the bottom of my case due to the UV light/ UV light switch and a power wire has to run to my 9500 Pro.

[FLG]

nocturnx take a look at my case with the loom(click sig), i take some connectors and shove them in the drive bays, other ones i shove on the oppisite the window behind the mobo tray i will take some pics of the other side to show ya.

[nocturnx]

I moved alot of wires around and moved my 13" uv light from running vertical along the back to running horizontal across the top and had to remount the switch for that but it looks alot cleaner now. Took me an hour to finish moving everything around and loom the rest. Used a total of 10' of loom. Ill get some new pics up soon.

[ComPman]

thats it no more pics.. comonn this forum is suppose to have alot of users??

[esemte]

i was gonna wait till i modded my case, but since no-one is posting ....

i called this the Workshop

[esemte]

the guts of it


my planned mods:

yellow round cables
2x 12" cold cathodes
and either yellow or anodized yellow spray painted interior

what ya think?? this is gonna happen in about a months time

All by my Self. This system rocks. 600+500+2 400 Watts subwoofer. TO much bass.

[Jester]

heres what I got so far. I got annoyed with the thermal take logo so I went to work

[MAX452]

Hey Nocturnex . . . Nice computer , go to page 3 and look at mine . Tell me if it looks familiar ? LOL ;)

[nocturnx]

lol yea same tower.........now i just need to figure out how to put a delta force poster on the front :) Thats pretty kool, I should use my 9500 pro box carton on the front of mine, that would nice. If i can figure out how you did that.

[setfree]

Heres some pics of my rig. I just got it painted a couple weeks ago.

http://24.27.236.35

[nocturnx]

Wow thats kool, nice paint job.

[davour]

When it comes to Modding... I am more nessecity over looks

More often than not, no-one is going to see your creation and its not like you can take it for walks around the park with you ! :)

Saying that I am quite envious over the sweet designs ive seen, Me, Myself if i did decide to mod mine i would create the ultimate MOD... It would order Pizza's, Brew Ale and much more

But alas, id rather spend my extra pennies on a hefty CPU-- :)

[nocturnx]

hmm brew ale........thats genious! Ill hafta look into that.....calculating how much heat cpu and vid card give off.....hmm.....need to order hops, barley, and malt extract.....hmm do you think my cpu gets hot enough to boil water?......looks possible......bah my towers too small, oh well, thanks for the suggestion tho.

[davour]

I am ALMOST thinking of modding my own case but want to know where to start?

So... any ideas

[MAX452]

There are screws on the backside of the front panel that holds the acrylic on . Just unscrew them , and insert your artwork buddy . It'll take a little time , but worth it .

[nocturnx]

Yep I did it Max, I cut up my radeon 9500 Pro box with an exacto knife and put it under the acrylic panel. It looks pretty kool, ill hafta post some pictures. It took me a couple hours, what would be sweet is if i could stealth my drives and make the whole front of the case a picture :)

[davour]

sounds silly but there any tutorials on the net with pretty pics?

[MAX452]

I subscribe to a lot of magazines , I see some cool case moddings in them and use my imagination as to what it wouuld take to do it that way . Other sources are like in these forums , ask around like your doing , you'll pick up ideas here and there . ;)

Not sure if many PC stores carry them, but I'm aware many auto part stores do...

BTW,
Nice Setups guys :D
(Mine Will be up tommorow)

[Brown Hornet]

comPman,i painted faceplates with krylon paint it looks silver but the can says chrome.anyway it is a perfect match.

joeberg,thanx i will look into that website.i will post pics of inside once i do some wire management

[FLG]

ok im still workin on lighting,mods,wire routing,,ect but heres a little taste.

And my camera sucks so the pics arent too good

[FLG]

ok i was finally able to get a pic of thre front of it elluminated in blue, it looks 100x better in person or in the dark.

[Joeberg]

FLG, are the screws on the front ligting up blue and the rest of it still silver, or is it all blue, similar to as you described it last time?

[FLG]

Its hard to see from the pic but the entire faceplate is blue, im still working on some things though,

[Joeberg]

My Setup....

[Joeberg]

The Inside:

[nocturnx]

Moded the front of my case, ATi fans should especially check this out.


http://community.webshots.com/user/nocturnx

[Joeberg]

Real Slick Nocturnx :cool:
Is the front panel a type of Decal?

[nocturnx]

The front is a clear acrylic panel that screws off. It had like just a piece of silver aluminum sheet behind it before, took that out, cut up my 9500 Pro box using the original peices of aluminum as a guide and put that in and screwed the acrylic panels back on over it.

[Joeberg]

:)
Nice job, looks great :)

[RobH]

ok heres my box,the cam was a 640x480 so the pics are terrible.

[ConLog]

Here is my new case!

I love it....

[ConLog]

And here it is inside........

I like to make my cabling tidy :)

[FLG]

Ok guys, i finally bought a new Digital camera so i have new pics they are much better quality, just click the sig. Ive been busy but i will have more pics up there soon, im just waiting for some more supplys to come :D

BTW i know the cable routing is kinda a mess right now, just waiting for the rest of my stuff before i start fixing it up.

[ComPman]

yess the qulaity is much better man, looks good

[FLG]

Thanks, the pics look even better if you click the button under it that says "View full size" it might take awhile on 56k but while the pic is loading its REAL big after its done it will go back a good size and the quality will be 10x better. Webshots drops the quality a bit but if you click the full size the quality is much better.

Edit: For got to mention the top fan light is out, so its not lighted, also heres the links to the higher quality images

[ComPman]

cant see the pics, Webshots doesnt allow outside links

[FLG]

You shure? Check it again it works for me. You can also go to "veiw full size" its under the pic to see the better images but the links work for me.

[Propain]

no worky .

[FLG]

Oh well, then just click the sig and to see the better pics like i said click the pic to see a larger view then under it it says "veiw full size" and you will get the higher quality pics, the pics my look huge when there loading but after there done they shoulg shrink to a smaller size.

[Colb]

The blue cathode is nice.http://climbatizeut.users.btopenworld.com/f-smilies/f-2thumbs.gif

[Joeberg]

Nice Setups guys :D
Mine should look better after Cristmas (When I get a better monitor, desk, and I should be getting some loom by the end of the week).
BTW FLG,
How Are those USB Lights attached to your monitor?
The new camera has much better quality than your old one :)
-Joe

[FLG]

Just stickey tape that came with the lights, also colb_dog i have more stuff on the way, shoud be here tomorrow. I had 2 lights illuminating the front of the case but one went out so i bought these antec ones hopefully to replace them, but they didnt look good on the case so i put them on the monitor, im going to get new ones for the case.

Right now there are 2 blue cahtodes and 3 UV counting the ones on the fans, i have a few more lights (UV) that are comming so when i turn off the blue i get the whole UV affect also ordered a few other things, ill post pics when i get the new stuff :D :D

[ConLog]

I've added a Coolermaster Musketeer.

What do you think guys?........

[completeandutterNEWB]

nice bubble light things on the sides :)

[Joeberg]

Nice Setup ConLog :) Do you plan on painting the drive bezels?

[ConLog]

Originally posted by Joeberg

I gave it a thought but since I am somone who sells parts to upgrade, it might be a bit more difficult to sell the drives in the future if they are sprayed silver. One thing I am going to do though is change ALL the LED's on the front to blue ones.

completeandutterNEWB: The bubble light thing you refer to is called the COOLERMASTER MUSKETEER.

Thanks for the kind words guys!:)

[completeandutterNEWB]

i kno wut the coolermaster musketteer is i was referring to the light tubes you have on the front sides of your tower

im not THAT much of a newb (i created this name a while ago, didnt feel like changin it)

[ConLog]

LOL, sorry bout that.:)

Cool, you can chack if they sell bezels for the drive, much less painless than screwing up the drives (Noticed you have a DVDRW in there ;) )

The LED idea sounds cool :)
Good Luck,

[completeandutterNEWB]

np i am quite noobish anyway i just know that because i was looking for a fan controller but i went with the vantec nexus instead

but i cant wait to post my first build's pic here. i think its gonna look GREAT for the first build of a 13 yr old :)

[Brown Hornet]

it is addictive.i didnt plan on building again for at least 6 months.2 weeks later i am almost done gathering parts for next rig.oh yeah the cooler master musketeer is a nice addition to any case http://community.webshots.com/user/brownhornet666

[ConLog]

@ Brown Hornet. I was looking at your rig pics (nice looking PC BTW) and was wondering why the ATI video card in your machine has a power connection to it???

@ completeandutterNEWB. When you build your PC we want to see some pics of it on here!

@ Joeberg. I've changed my mind, I'm gonna spray those drives!:)

[Jester]

High end ATI cards and I believe the Nvidia cards have power connecters. THey need a direct supply of power.

[ConLog]

Wonder why???

[nocturnx]

I think the 9500 Pro and up in the Pro series need the extra connection because the card needs more power than the agp slot is designed to give.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info!

[Joeberg]

ConLog: Check these out; may be a somewhat better Idea to use these so all will work out in the future (Selling to upgrade and all...)

http://directron.com/silverstorage.html

Just a suggestion...

[ConLog]

Thanks for that Joeberg, I sprayed them last night.:)

One drive is less than perfect though because my young son threw a cushion at the bezel whilst it was still drying.:(

One final touch to the case will the addition of an illuminated blue cpu fan.

I will post pics later...

[Joeberg]

Sorry to hear about that happening ConLog :( So long as they're just less then perfect though they should still look fine :)

[Brown Hornet]

my son got to my drive faceplates too.a second coat of paint should work

[ConLog]

Problem was, some fine fibres from the cushion got on the paint job so I had to lightly sandpaper the affected area. The finished job looks OK I guess.

BTW, he launched a mug at the display cabinet the other day as well.....glass everywhere....

Ah, the joys of having 2 and 3 year old sons.:D

[Brown Hornet]

yeah i know what you mean my son is 5 and still a handfull.but he knows not to touch daddy's computer.thata why i am putting one together for him

[completeandutterNEWB]

wow i feel so young and stupid
all the talk about little kids wrecking everything
glad im only 13 :D

[Jester]

I've noticed that some of your rigs have The three circles on the front wich i assume are readings dials like temp and such where would i be able to get those.

[completeandutterNEWB]

that is the Coolermaster Musketteer
it displays temps and fan rpms i think and its a fan controller
you can get it at newegg.com

[Brown Hornet]

here ya go ninja, http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=1&submit=Go&description=musketeer

[Xiun]

Well, heres a quick pic of my old build. Pretty soon im getting a new case and moving all my stuff over. Its gonna be an awesome build. Gonna cut off a section of the top and turn it into a window, then chop off the op of my cd drive so you can see the cd spinning. Dunno, think I may stick some of those LED laser thingys up there to give it a cool effect.

[ConLog]

Compman, thats a neat setup!

Here is my completed setup. Mods I did to it were the following:
(1) The temperature display on the front displayed temp in F. Soldered a part of the LCD circuit board to change it to C.
(2) Added a Cooler Master Musketeer
(3) Added two Cooler Master clear blue LED fans
(4) Sprayed the DVD-RW, DVD-ROM and floppy drive bezels silver
(5) Added a Vivanco blue neon light kit
(6) Changed the activity LED's on the DVD-RW, DVD-ROM and floppy drives all to blue LED's
(7) Changed the power LED and hard drive activity LED to blue LED's

Basically the whole case is now silver and ALL lights eminating from the case are blue.

Finished rig....

[Joeberg]

Looks nice guys :D
Hopeing to revamp my setup after the Holidays...

Hmmm, those are pretty bright. A guy could get away with doing some case fans like that front and back and not need a cathode light at all, unless of corse you realy want to put on a serious light show. Cool.

[Gamer]

hey compman what fans are those?

[ConLog]

I count SIX 80mm fans in ComPmans rig.

WOW!!!

2 Exhaust, 1 intake, 1 modifed CPu fan, 1 Agp cooler, 1 chipset kooler, 2 powersupply fans. and it is not loud at all.
At night my rooms gets so bright that i put a box over the window:cool:

they green ones came with the case and the other tricolor, which i got 3 for 12.00 of some ebay dude, very kickass deal. That was 3 fans shipped for 12 dollars:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[mickmcc03]

Hi guys,

Built a new rig. I'll be postin the pics of it shortly so keep watching this topic! It has 4 LED fans, one tricolour cathode, 3 directional laser LED and 2 neon multicolour bubble tubes running up the front of the case. U can check out my sig, its all in there. Cables are VERY messy, but some wire ties will clear this up!

mickmcc :cool:

[mickmcc03]

[tim1477]

how do u change the color of the green power on switch? i've taken of the front case and i see the green LED, do i just replace this with a blue LED? and if thats how u do it, how do u replace the LED? (lamest terms please im still a youngin)


i know this sounds very crazy, but would it be possible just to cover the green LED with say... blue ceran wrap? (dont laugh just an idea)

[ConLog]

You simply de-solder the green LED and replace with a blue one. Remember that LED's have an anode and cathode so make sure you connect it the right way round or it won't work. Also, you'll need heat shrink tubing to cover over the solder job.

where can i get those leds, i wana do the same thing. Radio shack sells them???

[OrionThunder]

Hey Cricket, on page 6 you posted a pic of a lanboy build you had done for a friend... I personally have an antec lanboy and was wondering what you did with that (dare I say) ghetto neon green fan holder in the bottom right of the case. Did you just screw the fan into the case? (Neon green doesn't look too cool when mixed with blue led fan)

[OrionThunder]

er, I realize this is page 13 too...

[Xiun]

ComPman, looking at your case, i got a suggestion that should help clean some wires. I believe on that case, the HD's are side mounted, so instead of mounting them the way you have them(cables facing out) turn them around so you cant see the IDE or power cables. If theres not enough room, please correct me, since Im not sure if its true with that case.

[ConLog]

ComPman, yes you'll be able to purchase blue LED's from Radio Shack.

I believe on that case, the HD's are side mounted, so instead of mounting them the way you have them(cables facing out) turn them around so you cant see the IDE or power cables. If theres not enough room, please correct me, since Im not sure if its true with that case.

yeah u are right that is the case, my harddrvies are mounted backwards so that u cant see the cables. The one in pic is the IDe from the CD drivees. Gona tape that to the side.

(Neon green doesn't look too cool when mixed with blue led fan) The neon green fan holder (ugh) was thrown out (don't know why they made it that color) and I just screwed the blue LED fan directly to the chassis. But I won't be using the case for any more builds...I wasn't impressed with the design or construction at all.

[OrionThunder]

Cricket, yeah, I know what you mean. LanBoy gets it done if all you want is a really compact light case, but the design is really weak. The aluminum is extremely flimsy... and that plastic front door :(, mine busted off as I had the door open and jumped to my pc a little too quick. Guess I'll be using that neon green fan holder as... um... well, I dont think it has any purpose, cant even make a decent coaster out of it.:rolleyes:

[Evanin]

I have a Lanboy right now, I was dissapointed with it. I knew it would only have 2 fans which is no big deal to me. The front green fan holder is more work then just screwing a fan in. It would be nice if the window had a fan. It is a light case and does what it is meant to do, be able to move from place to place easy. It is for lan gamers so thats why it is light, to be able to carry easily.

[ConLog]

If anyone out there fancies changing the colour of their case LED's (as a couple of people have enquired about) but don't fancy doing any soldering, you can of course do what's shown in the picture......

[FLG]

Nice RayH :D but webshots dosent allow linking the pic, heres the URL and it should work.

http://community.webshots.com/s/image2/1/29/93/106312993WNyeTm_ph.jpg

[Joeberg]

Link doesn;t work...

[FLG]

Oh well, RayH you have to click the button that says "My public community page" or something like that cant remember and put the link to that page and it will work.

Ok after searching though a bunch of Rays i found your page, the url for the pic you have matches the URL on the webshots page that i found here it is, i hope.......

**Update**

I took some new pics of the case, just click the sig

[Rof_lmao]

YEah i got about $403 in my wallet, well my dad gonan give 200 of that this week, what can i get with that, im hoping to start out with a case, and a mobo....then move on to a nice cpu, but i will have to start from scratch becausem y hp system wont work right with a new mobo, so ill haev to basically rebuild it, anyoen got tips on how to buy stuff online without a credit card, my parents dont wana buy stuff onlien for me, and i dont wann pay 400 for a chip i cna get for 150, how u 14 year olds do it? Im 15 by teh way.....

[completeandutterNEWB]

ask a close family member with a credit card and pay em back
that might work if they go along with it

[Brown Hornet]

yeah give them the money then ask if they can put it on their credit card.403$$ is a good start

[Rof_lmao]

its not that easy, i live with my mom(parents seperated a long tiem ago) so i cnat sneak to my dad and get it, but my mom is a freak with me and spending money, and she seems to not liek me spending money on computer, and doing so is causing a loss of info for my future, she is holding my back, even if i had teh money, and she would prolly take it and put it in my account which i cant access till im 18..18!!!

[completeandutterNEWB]

woah bit harsh there
maybe you can get a friend to get their parents to get it and you could pay them back and your friend can discretely give you the parts ;)

[Rof_lmao]

no way teh stuff iwant they would leave town with....

[i3OSS]

Bump~

[pwm24]

with case off

[pwm24]

i wish i could take credit in this mod

[Rof_lmao]

OWNAGE, dont trip on it, get soem lights in it, and youll ice the cake!

[bmrmrb]

*bump* will post own pics when new system is up and running

[nocturnx]

Yikes! those bay reservoirs scare me. Especially right at the top like that. Imagine if there were a leak or your case got bumped or knocked over, there would be nothing left. I think i would rather have an external resevoir or no resevoir at all. Water cooling if kool tho, I'd like to do it if I had the funds and my case is kinda small and too cramped to do it.

[bmrmrb]

and if you had the money to spend on water cooling then you could get a better processor...

[FLG]

Water cooling uses distilled water which barely conducts any electricity, but still is a risk, as soon as i get the money im going to get watercooling, which is very very soon.

[Mr N8]

IMO, watercooling is a great concept, and has very practical applications. However, with the money that is put into it, just to overclock your cpu and possibly video card, why not just upgrade your system to something that intended to run at those speeds in the first place?

[Jester]

what fun would that be besides it makes to much sense to save my money :rolleyes: :p

[i3OSS]

Like it was said above 99.9% pure water will not conduct electricty.

[nocturnx]

well i think once you get the water system it will work for many more systems to come so its actually a very good investment. So I think you actually would save money by waterkooling and overclocking.

[Jester]

here they are finally the next cuple posts will be my PC I finally got a scanner. THese arnet the best pics but i work with what i got

[Jester]

next

[Jester]

and again

[Jester]

and even more

[Jester]

and this is the last one Hope you guys like what i did. THe first Pic the front of the case i took the thermaltake logo off the front repainted it and put som decals on it. I did the same thing to the keybaord and the mouse

[bmrmrb]

okay here they are...
members.tripod.com/benmr (http://members.tripod.com/benmr)

they may take a while to load because i forgot to change the digital camera setting, its great for prints but takes ages to load.

[nocturnx]

kool bmrmrb, that looks great.

kool radio, whered u get those decals?

[Jester]

Lo-Fi Custom Bikes (http://www.loficustoms.com/decal_index.html)

here ya go took me a while to remember but i foudn the decals again. These guys were really cool i Just ordered what i needed for the case and they sent me the extra for free which is why i put it on my mouse and keyaboard too.

[MaLfUnCtIoN]

mr n8, i dont want to go ot with this but a watercooling system is 150-200 bucks. lets say you have a p4 2.4. you wanna overclock to 3.06 lets say. (i dont really know the math on ocing but i know money.) to buy a p4 3.06 and more fans/more powerful fans will prolly be over that. with amd they are alot cheaper to buy so you could prolly find a new one with the speeed you want for less than watercooling.

sorry to get ot

[yamahaSHO]

Just put it together the other day... still waiting on a few more parts that I ordered, but she is up and running as of now!

I don't have the "bling" factor, I like a clean look.

Thanks, I am really happy with the case. Little noisier than I would like, but I am working on that ;)

[Joeberg]

Looks good guys :)
yamahaSHO,
I like the look of the case, and the optical drives complement the case nicely.

[Rof_lmao]

added some electrical tape and multi color fishing floss, and i got this

[Rof_lmao]

a diff look

[yamahaSHO]

I have some newer updated photos... still not finished, but I am excited to be completing it. Waiting on my Panaflo fans, then I need some sound insulation. I also need to smooth out the around the fans, where I cut the stamped grills out.

http://hosting.superhighoutput.com/yamahasho/My%20Computer/Zalman.jpg


My digital camera has an extremely quick shutter, these fans were moving as fast as they could and they look like the were not in the pic.

[@ss@ssin]

[Propain]

eh heres pics of my new case and the old one, please note that I dont have the Thermaltake Board/mouse anymore , it went kaput on me. http://photos.yahoo.com/gedinr

cheers

[Jester]

Propain did you take out and turn around the hard drive bays so that they are not facing the side of the case. If so how did you do it cause it would clear up my cable probems like not other. Also god call on getting rid of the keybaord and mouse i was just about to tell you to watch how much you hit the space bare cause mine broke.

[Propain]

nope, RAN, the drives are in as they are in as they are supposed to be. facing the front. someone advised me to take pics with the lights off and no flash so that neons would be seen :( oooopppsy didnt know that.

I also had to remove my ducting mod since it made the HSF hit the window fan. :(

[Jester]

I need to figure out how to make the hdd bay face front cause mine face the side. If i can remove the bay i imagine i can turn it around.

[Propain]

maybe a little sheet metal shapping would do the trick. :)

[Jenni]

[nocturnx]

Looks kool. Did you have something in that empty bay?

[Redfallon]

This is my newest build. The case is lit with UV light inside, although the pictures were taken in darkness, the flash cuts down on the "glow" effect....anyway, I like it

Front (http://members.aol.com/Ingramdis/private/Comp01)

Top (http://members.aol.com/Ingramdis/private/Comp02)

Side (http://members.aol.com/Ingramdis/private/Comp03)

I know most people probably don't like the fanbus on the front, but I prefer it over thermostatically controlled....

[Pentium-ant]

Originally posted by nocturnx

No its just some little home made window thing I made so you can see in from the front, I know the pictures don’t show it so well but there is actually a bit of clear plastic its not just a gap straight into the pc. I am thinking of getting a cheap temperature gage and putting it behind the plastic then having it lit up by LED's when the pc is running I just need to find the time :mad:

P.S.

Nice pc Redfallon

[Brown Hornet]
