Is it a candidate for modding forum or project logs when one is modding a case to a theme but with no real hardware goals in mind. Lighting, airbrushing, engraving, CNC, etc. Like my Notalis case from Bill and E.E.L Ambiense. No hardware, just a case mod. john
Definitely, the hardware doesn't (or shouldn't) make or break a mod. So I'd say there is 0 need for hardware to be involved at all. I just usually is as people like to use the mods they work so hard on.
It's still a project, and the case is the more interesting part anyways. The hardware you stuff into it later on is rather irrelevant imho and is subject to being changed once in a while, whereas the case itself stays basically the same over the whole time.
GwassGween went a full year without hardware. There's still nothing but cooling parts. If you're building a computer case mod, why is the hardware needed to qualify as a log?
Deffo hardware irrelivant in many cases My Monster2 build was actually only meant to be a case build only, was only by pressure from freinds to stick some hardware into it. Was more than happy using Monster1 pc, afterall i only really use forums and msn.
Cast your mind back a few years John, it was all about the mod and the hardware was usually low spec and just in there to qualify it as a PC not a pretty box. Things have changed now with watercooling and high end gear all being part of the over all build. I will admit that seeing a project fully up and running does it for me, but thats just me wanting to see the finished article in all it's splendor.
