Hey Bit-Tech team, could I ask a teeny TINY favour?

Hello!

I have in my possession the [oops]MacroBlack[/oops] "Culance" modded Koolance case that Macroman originally made for the OCS commission before they went under.

Its pretty beat up

I want to restore it and add some of my own twists, but the original article is not in the modding archive so I can't show anyone what it used to be in its glory days

Is it possible for you guys to import it over from the old website if its still there so I can do a "now and then" on it? Pretty please?

Even if you guys have the text and / or pictures I'll sort out the rest if you don't want it on the site?

Also, assuming Kna and MrHaz are still out there, say hi for me if they remember me from the old tekforums days

 

Sure, we can do that

 

All hail the titch!

 

Your username just hit me. Long time no see!

 

Id be interested to see what state the case ended up in.

I've been here reading for a veerrrrrrry long time, and occasionally posting one or two, but only in Project Logs.

I like all the pretty pictures

It almost made me cry Its covered in dust, has a smattering of budgie poo (no joke), some rust on the corners, and all the koolance stuff is plain gone. None of the drive bay covers / 5.25" drive mounting rails survive, so I'm gonna have to source some of them. It didn't even have one of the side panels when I was first offered it but luckily it turned up.

I'll share the full story if the BiT guys manage to resurrect the original project log on the website and then share with you all some of my ambitions

 

I remember it being for sale with a load of ex-OCS cases on here ages ago... shame a work like that got trashed.

Would be nice to see it revamped

 

I rescued it from the person who bought it from tekheads outta the ex-OCS stock

He was going to simply bin it when he moved house :|

 

Bin it! Crazy!

 

What a project log this is going to make.....

(You could even work in a religious theme - macroman gave his son, who was then sacrificed, but is now being resurrected...... I know - horribly sacrilegious... but funny...)

 

OMFG Zoon. It's like 1989 all over again.

WB \o/

 

Well I hope it will at least. I'm sure there are people who won't like what I plan to do with this.

I might consider giving it back to bit-tech even, if macroman wanted to fix her up himself or something. Postage and a couple of review "throwaways" plz! Well having said that, modding is fun and I'm not sure even then if I'd wanna give up the chance

The word "resurrection" may take part but not in a biblical sense, I don't go in for all that Dogma. (Disclaimer: its fine if you lot wanna go in for it, its just not my bag baby!)

Hi! I've always been here Bindi

 

Wow, I'm amazed that it's still floating about, I'd love to know the full story behind what happened with it after the mod was finished

::edit:: Zoon, the article you are looking for would be http://www.bit-tech.net/modding/2005/09/01/macro_black/1.html I believe?
IIRC it's been on the site for ages, I seem to remember going and reading it again a couple of months back.
Heck, it was one of the mods that first inspired me to start modifying my PC for performance/looks a while back, though I never really did get very far due to lack of funds/being a lazy git.

::edit 2::

Just reading through the comments on the article and it includes such comedy classics as

 

teaser...

 

How the snot did I miss that?? Argh!

Alright I'll wab out the case from my cupboard in a bit and take some piccies... but first - food!

 

Oh crapola!

Its not Macro Black is it??

Its Culance!

Okay I've just edited all my posts cos I was a numpty.

 

Only thing is I don't remember Macro Black being a Koolance case? And I'm sure the article said it was a ClearPC one. Maybe I'm thinking of and have posted the wrong link/case?

 

Yeah I just caught my mistake

 

Yeah, I noticed just after I posted my post that you had updated yours and added a new post.
Hmm, multiple recurrence of the word "post" there.

However if you just can't wait for RTT to port it over and can handle speeds worse than a 56k modem you could use http://web.archive.org/web/20030814211739/http://bit-tech.net/article/113

 

Sadly a good chunk of the piccies are missing on that one
