Hello to you all, after so long being a member here ive finally gained the funding to start my own project! This isnt gonna be a big extreme mod like all the great things we see these days, but I always wanted to make a log and this is probably the only chance ill ever get The Idea Basic plan really, keep it simple, tidy and clean. No overpowering light, some light of course to bring focus to the main feature of any case mod, the hardware The Theme Well, so far all I have is blue inside (sleeving, wires etc.) Im looking for ideas, I was PLANNING on water cooling, but tbh I have no need for it really. It was just an idea to add to the 'cool' factor (no pun intended ) funds dont allow for it though (16 year old!) Any ideas appriciated ALSO a decent name wouldnt go amiss 'black widow is probably temparary. Ok lets begin. Heres my modding supplies: Case in question, the Coolermaster 201B ATCS 'Black Widow': Pre sleeved PSU: After sleeving: Here I ran into a problem, my atx pin remover broke when I used force on something... stupid of me really So the atx line remains unsleeved, but you wont be able to tell really when its in the case (I hope) Motherboard instaled onto the tray: Added pci covers, ram covers, installed 6600gt and wifi card: First time I ever used a tray! Best case I ever owned PSU installed into case: Heres a cool bit, I sleeved the wires for the buttons and lights on the front of the case: Everything installed and fully functional computer! For now... Next up, drive stealthing, and whatever anyone else suggests Also Ill be buyin some blue led fans for the front to illuminate the front. Ill probably get some aluminium and form a new grill for the front too, that might look pretty cool lit up by the fans at the front. Comments welcomed Retro
got more shots of the inside of the case with everything installed? Very nice and tidy, i like, after drive stealthing i would suggest bringin the yellow / blue theme to the out side of the case some how.. that would tie it all together nicely.
Ok heres a few more shots of the inside: Messy cables, concealed byt the sidepanel so its alright I like the idea of bringing the colours to the outside of the case, allthough id like to draw attention away from the brightness of the yellow and more to the blue. The yellow just happened to be there on the motherboard so I have to work with it Maybe a few nicely located blue leds will give a good effect. Retro
Looks nice and clean.. I do think that you should have gone for red sleeving / accessories if you were going to call it 'black widow'. So many as you said, a name change would be good! Goodluck with it!
DFI Lanparty nForce 3 socket 754 Yeh, I wanted to go for the blue/black theme after most of the red stuff I ever obtained came out pink Ok so Ill get thinking up soem more names, any suggestions would be great Retro
aw that is awesome. Can I have your atcs Just don't mess it up and I will be happy. ATCs cases are so great, I wish I had one. or ten.
it looks like you removed the ferrite ring from that PSU, did u? and if so will that make much difference?
I didnt remove the ring from the psu, its still on there. What do you mean the atx cable is shielded hippie? I was just gonna sleeve around the metal stuff that surrounds it. Retro
