Here are the pics of my new case... sorry about the quality: And, a pic of my first case mod: My plan for the old case is to put my Athlon 900 in it, and add some LEDs to the front.. I'll write more in detail later, as usual I'm doing this between classes... Any Ideas? (note the lid opens like a briefcase.. it has a button latch on each side of the case)
I forget who has the old IBM PC mod, but he used the faces from the full height floppy drives (old school!) and concealed the drives behind them. It was tight, he did a lot of bondo work on the chassis also.
Hey forget aluminium, cast iron is the way to go them old XT/AT cased weighed more then 20kilos. They even had warning stickers on them "bend and, lift with the knees!" Seriously cool retro feel though! ride
I plan on putting a slot loading CD rom in an old 5 & 1/4 floppy drive... for pics, go to this thread: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7827 I'm willing to trade overseas if I have to. (read the short thread & it'll make sense) Thanks!
