    OK. so i signed up for this fourm seeing that there were a lot of mod projects here for PC cases
    so i have looked through and people are all making PC cases that sit on the ground
    i personaly dont move my PC at all if any so i was wondering if anyone else has heard of building a PC into a desk?
    the POS desk im on right now is like another home to me but my mother (i say that with a hint of hatred xD ) complains about my giant freakin case all the time
    i would love to build it into my desk, on the left side of my chair i have a hole basicly for trash that is huge! and i would like to udilize it!
    the hole is as deep as my curent case, bout 2' 4" tall and 1'2" wide. so i have the room i just dont know where to start
    the side facing away from me faces the door to my room to the hall so i can go a little crazy on that side
    i have done slight case moding, i moved the small LCD display on my Corsair XMS3200 ram and used a ribbin cable to make it moveable but other than duct tape fixes and daring process of hanging fans by there wires to fix the fact taht the fan in my PSU fryed iv no expereance
    all of your help would be appreceated!
    oh and the biggest problem for me is income, i work at a grocrey store for minimum (5.85) an hour so its also going to have to be cost effective XD
    as far as tools go im covered via my fathers plethra of tools and other construction benifits
    one last thing i would like to know (mod or not) is where and how LED's are obtained and put to use in a PC as far as connecting them w/o frying the PC and where to order LED of any and all colors and the resistors needed to keep them from frying
    so i hope that i get a lot of feedback on this i just blew up my main hard drive so ive nothing left but an old 40GB that im useing for basicly internet
    hope to hear from yall and thanks!
