I'm looking for an absolutely no-frills, bare-bones, cheap-ass case. Any suggestions? BTW this is for my new matrix mod- see my avatar
I will be posting pictures of my Compaq Proliant aluminium server case as seen in the classified forums. Will probably be Monday as am away for the weekend.
well hows a 20 spot sound for a full tower http://svc.com/standard-cases.html i find svc has thebest shipping rates and there prices arent to bad /endplug//
If you are looking for a moddable case I would not go with a ****ty/cheap one. Well, in my opinion. First: ****ty cases have un-removable right side panels; the right side panel is riveted in place. Secondly: You will most likely have one long and frustrating time putting in all of your hardware; some of the time your stuff just doesn’t fit. Lastly: You will get cut; no questions asked. If you want a highly moddable case I recommend a Chieftec DRAGON or an Antec SOHO (What I am using for my current mod). I must say one thing though. Why in the hell did you start such a dumb thread at Xoxide Forums (You know what I am typing about)? And, you ran away. Seeking a new forum. Where haterad is at a minimum. One where you figure know body would know of your stupidity on that day. The very day when you were banned. And they all hate you. Anyways, apparently BrianH ****ed the Xoxide Forums up. And apparently he did it for fun. Yes, for fun (What a looser). He is also in trouble; he owes some guy $1000. I just had to laugh when I heard this. Well, good luck with your project. I hope you don't buy such a ****ty ass case you; you won't know what to do with it when none of you **** fits. (If you bought a case already, pardon me. I see that this thread was started a few days ago) Happy Modding! -telnet
Rivets are no problem, you jsut drill them out and put in screws in their place. Getting cut, well, thats one of the problems with cheap cases, but it doesn't really hurt that much... oh and BTW i didn't run away from xoxide, i got banned BTW#@, who hates me? i wasn't aware of anyone hating me besides you but that's ok, if you wanna hate me, go ahead.
good idea anyways, ebay has some pretty cheap cases, but shipping is INSANE!!!!!!!! i guess that's where they regain the money they lost frm selling them so cheap
I know this isnt a cheap case. But I just cant help but see the potentiel it has. Would love to mod one of these. And i dont even like clear cases. http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/cas-106.html
uuuhhh *drool* well that case is totally contradictary to this thread because- 1. its freaking expensive 2. Acrylic= not moddable but a cool case nevertheless
well i wouldn't say that acrylic is not mod-able. i think that this is exactly the opposite because it is a matierial that is easily drilled, dremeled, paintable (that is if you would really want to do that). i dont' know i guess that the ultimate decision is left in the hands of the modder. all i know is ever since i got my clear case i can't stop doing stuff to it. each to his own
right, but there's a HUGE margin for error. Plastic is like butter to a dremel. painted? you mean vinyl dye, right.
well i dont' know why anyone would want to paint a clear case...because thats the point...CLEAR. eh anyway yeah definately vinyl dye. also i find that when i do any cutting on my clear case as compared to my metal one i use one cut off disk as opposed to ten or twenty.
hows this one? http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=808-1PL&cat=CAS i think it would surve its calling in life
