I openly admit that I have little-to-no interest in computer modding as such. Full case mods occasionally get my interest but to me, a computer is a tool and I wouldn't put a window in a hammer I do like my PC hardware though. I'm seriously out of the loop at the moment - too many other commitments. I need to update soon - I'll get back into hardware when that time draws near. *n PS: main rig - XP1800+, GF4MX400, 2x120Gb, 1x80Gb, 1x40Gb server 1 - PIII 850MHz, 4x200Gb, PCI gfx server 2 (not used much) - dual PIII Xeon, 2x200Gb, PCI gfx firewall - K6-2 140MHz, 10Gb, PCI gfx, PCI ADSL modem, NIC (not in use at the moment, will be when I get pornband back.)
hehe i know what you mean, i find most 'modding' a bit of a gimmic relly. All this sticking computers in the most stupid thing possible (toaster??) and making a case themed on an imaginary computer game isnt how it should be. but i guess whatever floats your boat is fine with me
Unmodded (bar the blue LED) YY Cube on the floor to the extreme right hand side of the hifi....there does seem to be loads of us with YY Cubes actually Mister_Tad has one as well I think! I did have a lightly modded Coolermaster 200 case as well, but I'm not using it at the moment...its under a desk at home, empty. Meant to sell it but never had time before I left for uni.
i would say your room is a mess!! i cant work in a room let a lone a desk where you cant see the surface or the floor it does my head in, my desk is nice and tidy
my floor is clean, it's only under the one desk where kit is oozing from underneath it. My main desk is a little untidy at the moment (the one with the shuttle on it), but that's because I've just reinstalled windows on my main rig over the last couple of days. The other desk is always pretty untidy, because I'm swapping XYZ in to various rigs on a typical day.
I fell out of case modding properly a couple of years back. When it was in its infancy i was right there with it on this site, but now im just left in the dust compared to the people on here. I change my cases only for cooling efficiency now. And i do think Bit mods have the majority of YY cubes in britain, we should be sponsered or something by YY.
Exactly - some of the stuff that you guys come up with is amazing, it puts my work back in 2001/2 to shame. I really don't have the time or money to design and realise some of the ideas I have/have had in the past.
It's cause the industry has evolved. Back in the day everything was more "underground" and having a "window" in a case, or even and alu case was considered revolutionary. Now you get cheap tat everywhere which i suppose is a consequence of our forum (all you great guys n gals ) and others revolution and changing the industry. One of the few times the enthusiast community has almost compeltely dictated market change and it makes me feel good to be a part of it.
yep, I see premodded stuff made by manufacturers at trade shows and think to myself... "didn't I see that on bit-tech's forums about a year ago?" quite often I'm right... they've just taken the idea and developed it so that it can be put in to volume production without a great deal of cost to the manufacturer.
Agreed, What we need to do now is think of a new revolutionary idea thats not so mainstream to occupy our time
Have to agree. Everytime I think of a way to improve my case(s) google normally brings up a case that already has all the features I'd want implemented.
