Hey is this a good case to use for modding? http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...08PL-2&cat=CAS
that looks like an alright case to use. nice and bare, the way premods should be. just pull that power supply out, because its probably a cheap one anyways, or maybe keep it in there as a backup supply.
only bummer is that i dont see anything saying what kind of metal that case is made of. it says 12 pounds though, so that leads me to suspect it's made of steel. just something you should take note of if you intend to be adding more metal.
the price looks alright too. my verdict would be a thumbs up.
alright cool...im not sure if im gonna use it...i just want a plain black case thats sorta cheap, if anybody knows of one just tell me
In the interests of science, I just nipped out and weighed a steel case I have outside. Including a PSU it was 5.7kg, or 12.5lb in old money.
So I suspect Mr Slug is right.
Also, if it were made from ally it would say so.
One thing that jumps out at me about that case is the huge amount of holes in the side panels. If you're planning on doing any cutting, it may end up becoming a pain, as you will have to deal with jagged edges where the holes interrupt your cut lines. You can probably bondo the surface to fill them in first, but that's a tedious extra step you'll be adding there.
Just something small to think about.
alright thanx i think i found a better one though.....so many choices
i can alreeady picture it my head...nice window....nice bezel cut out...looks lieka good case
