    Hey
    I've have only done a few small mods but thought I would show you and see what you think.

    [​IMG]
    my full system in my room at uni.

    changed the LEDs in the front
    my ultra bright LEDs
    top is blue and power
    next down is white and HD
    bottom is orange and standby power I like having it on all the time it looks good with the blue :)

    my rounded cable for my CD-R and DVD drives. Did it myself as you can probaly tell. I'm going to get some spiral wrap for it to complete them.

    Mod's I want to do over Christmas.
    - wire up the blue and orange LEDs in the bottom of the front of the case.
    - also LEDs under the case
    -finishing up all the cabling. Spiral wrap and cable braiding. Waiting on getting a new power supply. When I get that I will cable braid it and change the the cover to a clear one.


    So what do you think?

    What else can could I do?

    I need to paint the drive covers I know.

    The theme I'm heading for is blue and orange. That side fan is Red and Blue so I'm going to try and change it to blue and orange :)

    views anyone

    Yeah nice, are they fan controllers at the front? The switches. What do you do on it, just like Uni work and browsing?

    Those drives are begging to be stealthed or dyed the same colour as the case.

    The cables are begging to be cleaned up

    The entire sysmte is waiting eagerly to be overclocked.

    Those are my views, I can speak to hardware ya know ? :lol: :D

    Rowlzi yeah its a fan controller. I use this machine for games, uni work, videos, music. Have no internet though :(

    taliban_raider I need a switch as my friend come over with there laptops so we can play games etc.

    ou7blaze yeah there is alot of little jobs to sort out.
    I got it to 1270mhz last night at 1285mhz it will post but then says error 0x01 or somethign over and over. thats at about 170x8.5 I think haven't tried changing any volts as I don't know how lol.

    Want to get the drive bays sorted over Christmas. Can I get paint the same colour as my case. I was thinking of maybe going silver can't decide wheather that will look good or just stupid.

    I'm going to get cabling done over Christmas but I'm waiting on getting a new PSU before I do any of the power cables.

    Thanks for the views

    Hmmmm

    Blue and Orange...well, at least you have a theme :p
    Is this a college team case? Maybe a sports team? If so, perhaps you could get some laser cut grilles for the fans, in the shape of the logo of your team. I know of a bunch of people here who own laser cutting equipment and you may be able to commision from them.

    I'm not particularly fond of that side panel window...the ribs on the window, in particular...but it would involve too much work to suggest removing it and replacing it.

    Definitely sleeve the wires and hide everything you dont use (wire wise) behind the motherboard on the OTHER side of the case, out of view of the window. Or just desolder everything you dont use.

    Stealth/Paint the drive bays.

    (heh, I'm with ou7blaze on a lot of this stuff, thanks captain obvious :lol: )

    Um, other than that, mod on! :dremel:

    Its the colours of my website.
    I am thinking of getting custom grills but can't come up with a design I like.

    The ribs on the window look nice as the light shows on them but they make so much noise they need to go.

    How yet I don't know dremel them out and some how put a grill there

    anyone got any ideas how to do this?
