thinking about getting a new case and doing all the hard work myself this time, rather than buying another pre mod.
just need suggestions...thinking about a UV and blue theme, black case...possibly some pics of simmilar things? trying to stay away from themes as within a little while theyll be outdated?
let me know
cheers!:rolleyes:
There are no really perfect cases for modding.. it depends on your personal taste, and what you will be doing with it.. Front LCD screen? get at least 3 or 4 bays... Air cooling? 120mm front fan... it all depends on what you wanna do...
well im not realy sure, im looking for something that i can do peice by peice as i have the cash. how much are LCD displays anyway? im fairly new to the whole modding thing...i mean what ive got at the moment is a maplin alien case with a cathode a couple extra LED fans and soon an LED cpu cooler + some 30cm UV tubes
idealy its gotta be something without a front door to break as i tripped over my door on the current case and split it.... i dunno
well Im as new to modding as you, so I cant tell you prices for these small LCD screens... I cant really help you for modding, all I could tell you is up there ^^^^^^
lol, thanks anyway! - perhaps this topic will help other people too:p
after looking around im thinking possibly the aerocool gatewatch and musketeers, as i like the way both units look. is there a plain black case with a big ass plain window already in the side already on the market??
(WTF am I still doin here? T_T)
Surely there is one, lol, but if you want to make the mod more like yours, buy a plain black case, and cut your own window in it... OR if you want to save yourself from the pain of cutting the panel, buying plexi, cutting plexi, making it fit, etc etc etc.... you know what to do. :)
right...hows this look http://www.xcase.co.uk/acatalog/Xc-_i-Mesh.html
with the gatewatch & musketeer...couple of UV tubes & blue fans outa my old system...? the mesh would help keep it running cool & as i dont have the tools to do the window kit myself itd make it a lot easier. or perhaps change out the side mesh for a custom perspex window?
hmmm....
This is my current computer. its simmilar to what your describing.
Wire management is on its way...
sweet! im assuming that isnt standard paint... who's the LED blower from? ive only got a plain black one in mine...ill stick some photos of mine up in a bit if i can persuade the camera to work...
talking of wire management, how do you do the PSU wiring? mines a state, i just rammed it all in a spare 3.25 bay with the inverter for my cathode
thats what i got at the moment (note the chavbusters sticker lol) and yeah i know the cpu fan's buggered, ive got an artic pro4 L super silent blue LED heatsink and fan combo on its way to me at the moment. the lighting also doesent show up too well on those photos...damn
