    I just looking for a simple, cheap and cool case mod. My current case has a window and one led. I just need something cool to do with it. I am a beginer so nothing too hard and expensive.
    The real reason is because I want to brag about my pc.
    Can someone help me out?

    first off, welcome to the forums :)

    second,

    a starting mod if your PC has a window already, is to add a cold cathode fluorescent light (CCFL) to the interior, if you are in the US, http://www.xoxide.com/coldcathodes.html might help you :) it should brighten it up.. also, can you elaborate on your LED please? where do you have it/what colour/what purpose etc... etc... if you are going for really cheap, a good mod that i did a while ago to one of my older projects was to use the 2 3.5" bays on the front, insert a piece of plexi behind them , and have a logo lit up from behind on it :D

    that didnt work... how do i post a pic
    well anyways ill describe it further... it has 4x 5.25 drive bays and 2x 3.5 drive bays. The window is rounded so it covers the psu, but not the rest of the innards. The side with the window has a duel coloured led fan, the fan is just over the cpu heatsink and fan. The other side of my computer is an orordinary black side pannel. The side pannels are easy access. The case is black and the drive faceplates are silver.
    If you have anymore questions about whats I already have just ask.

    you have to have them stored on the Internet firstly.

    then post like you did, but have the links to the images.

    If they are small (in size) pics I would be able to host them for you, email them to me:

    They're on his floppy and its a Sony Mavica, so they shouldnt be very big at all. I prefer to use SVC.com over xoxide.com who tends to overprice everything IMO.

    Upload your images here http://www.pixfiles.net/index.en, and then link them (its said how u can do this in that page after u upload the image)
    There re lots of cool easy mods u can do but that depends on what tools do u have. Buying a CCFL its a good idea and they look very nice

    First of all u need to iluminate that case, its very dark. Get a ccfl or put some leds in series/parallel, then u have tons of things to do.

    Hey fellas...I'm new here.Just found the site and it looks like I might have found my new home for modding needs. Well anyways, in response to monkey boyz mod needs, I agree you should get a ccft and mabey some lights down the front in sequence. That would really hook it up.


    Have a good one.
