Wow...that's nice. Very neat.

TechSupport420 · 04-11-2003, 01:53 PM

I built this one for my friend it was a budget build with about 800 bucks. It is a AMD 2400 XP 512 RAM 80 GB HD Sony DVD Memorex CDRW and a custom mounted TV Tuner. I have a custom cut window which was a pain to install. I put a red cold cathode in it with a custom mounted switch. My favorite part of this was a custom mounted fan in the extra drive bay area with a custom plexiglass cover to hold it breathes nicely.

TechSupport420 · 04-11-2003, 01:56 PM

this one is my favorite. I built it for my girlfriend for christmas, she is going into graphic design and needed a computer so I put this together for her. It doesn't have many stealth mods or anything but it has a 2.2Ghz P4 with a Asus mobo 512 MB 60 GB HD blue cold cathode custom window matching keyboard and Wacom graphics pad. The best part is the custom paint job with our names on it on the side of the case.

TechSupport420 · 04-11-2003, 01:56 PM

custom paint job

wschino · 04-12-2003, 04:41 AM

That's looks really nice Tech....did you do the painting yourself?

i3OSS · 04-12-2003, 04:50 AM

did you use airbrush?
if you did i would like to know if its a hard job and how to do it. it seems fun but it looks like itll turn ou like crap but looking at others jobs, makes me want to paint some things on mine

ROTGLMFAO Im starting to get an itch. this mod stuff is pretty cool.

i3OSS · 04-12-2003, 03:56 PM

ahaha, dont have to worry bout that anymore i sold it

TechSupport420 · 04-13-2003, 02:21 AM

Actually airbrushing really isnt hard if you practice alittle. I used to do it on RC cars so it wasnt too hard but it looks great when you blend differnt shades together. try it its worth a shot

i3OSS · 04-13-2003, 03:38 PM

i will, now where can i get these airbrush tools and paint and stuff? other than crafts store? do Walmart or some big store carry any?

TechSupport420 · 04-14-2003, 09:12 AM

hobby shops carry them or artist stores but they can be expensive with the little air compressor it needs look on ebay I bet you can find a decent one.

i3OSS · 04-14-2003, 09:44 AM

nope, forget that. $200 for an Airbrush and compressor? im sorry but thats way too much.

wolfie · 04-14-2003, 11:00 PM

my new case a antec sonata "hear the silence" butch of crap. this one noiser then the antec plus 600 i had. plus the harddrives go in sideways. sort of messes up on the wireing.

wolfie

wolfie · 04-14-2003, 11:05 PM

johnnybatters12 · 04-16-2003, 05:07 PM

Here's my first mod but it's not done yet. Yeah! right!
That's what they all say...

KronoLeginaire · 04-18-2003, 11:42 PM

Here is a recent picture of my case. I just took the picture with my HP Photosmart 320 (2.1MP) camera, resized, cropped and put some boarders on it for future useage.

I have more pictures, bigger higher resolution pictures that is... but I am proud of my clean wiring, if you can see it in this picture.

i3OSS · 04-20-2003, 09:09 PM

can you get the side picture

i wanna see how you organized your wires and what hardware youre using

KronoLeginaire · 04-20-2003, 10:22 PM

Yeah Yeah, here ya go:

The original image was 520k, so I had to pull down the size and save it for the web, brining it down to about 93k. Inside the case is a Radeon 9700 Pro, ECS Thundering Digital Sound Card and then a IBM NiC - which has LEDs wired to the front of the case. Yes, the case is a bit dusty, fans & sound card included. I need some filters I do believe...

but yeah, the wiring it better than what I've seen myself in other cases.

04-20-2003, 11:58 PM

ill post pics of my system tomorrow after i get the beast back up and running again i have had my main system down for close to a week and a half i have seen some clean looking insides in the pics that i have seen on this post

embrelleur · 04-21-2003, 09:45 AM

Here's mine, with a blowhole in front, baybus and topwindow with fan, all on an old OEM case

i3OSS · 04-21-2003, 09:46 AM

what kind of psu is that? i have an enlight and the wires come out from where your grill is so it looks kind messy neard the drives. i used some rubberbands to groupd up wires.

sleepypost · 04-24-2003, 05:42 PM

there are hardly any wires in some of these cases! man, how does that work? i know some power supplies allow you to disconnect wires that aren't in use.

Spyda · 04-24-2003, 06:01 PM

i took ages on my wires, and i think they are pretty good

a lot of the wires is hidden up top behind my DVD drive

Sorry it took me so long to respond, I seen ur reply earlier but wondered off. I have a Enhance 300Watt Powersupply, it came w/ my very first case back in 2000 (i think).. but I dunno, it has the p4 powe connector on it though, so... but yeah, I got it from Directron.Com

i3OSS · 04-24-2003, 08:02 PM

nice, embrelleur
thats a fan controller in the floppy drive slot right?
krono, you organized them so well, jeez i gotta get a cam to show you my messiness.

i was just too excited to build the computer that i really didnt care if it looked all pretty, but hopefully ill go back and get it cleaned up.

KronoLeginaire · 04-24-2003, 08:09 PM

nah, my first one was such a neatness violation. This one, with this new blue case, I went ahead and done that cleaning up. I wish I had like a VooDooPC case and was able to do their pc origami...

drew. · 04-24-2003, 08:26 PM

hey embrelleur, did you install that top window yourself, if so i want a window about that size, where did you get it?

embrelleur · 04-24-2003, 10:53 PM

Yes it's a home made fan controller on the floppy drive cover. If you want I'll post pics and schematics

And Yes I installed it myself from a sheet of plexiglass, I did not bought a kit, the only thing I bought is the molding. The hole was made using a jigsaw and the blowholw using a holesaw. I can post you dimensions if you want

Hook me up, it may be intresting...

***glc*** · 04-25-2003, 09:03 AM

i3OSS - don't use rubber bands, the heat inside the case dries them out fast and they will rot and break - and stick to the wires. Use plastic cable straps or twist ties.
