Modding Ok need a quick mod idea :)

im in the mood... the mood to mod!! anyone got an idea what i could do with this case?



bearing in mind that i dont have the materials available atm to complete the window, and i need something to do with that floppy cant for the life of me think what i have covered up the old reset button using a BiT case badge whaaaaat can i do with that floppy drive?? something quick and easy lol i have millions of resistors, a few red LEDs, lots of fans, a nice little mobo connecting 2 usb port tho if i use that the USB 2 ports on the back of the PC do not work (the ones not directly connected to the mobo- beside the status light) could i move the status lights and USB 2 ports on that thing 2?

 

Hide it away.











I still say straighten up those edges
Tidy the cables away from view?


Floppy drive... backlight it? So red glows inside. Couple of LEDs right in the back oughta do it?

 

Paint the chassis internally with some nice, shiny color.

 

1- Paint the inside gloss black & paint the bezel to match
2- put some nice molding around the window
3- sleeve the psu cables
4- put a ducted blow-hole in the front
5- take some sandpaper to the case to remove the paint it looks like you missed (esp the creases)

 

Good Idea!!!

Where on earth can i get this from? not in a window kit?

know where i can get the sleeving?

Very good idea, i have a fan there anyway

believe it or not that is actually the camera and what creases?? there are none on the real thing lol


oh yeah here are two updated pics scuse the fingerprints on second one :s i forgot to wipe those off before taking the pic and then my cam dissapeared




i think i will give it a little bit of a polish lol trust me thats not powdercoat residue

 

6. Fix all those b0rked bold and quote tags.

 

Done And Done

 

i think doing the front and inside black could look sweet...


get the sides wet and let them rust

 

lol i dont want rust but the black idea is cool

 

Easy!

Local auto parts store. You can get inexpensive door molding which will do the trick...

Um, not unless you're in the US. If you are, I just bought a 25' spool for 17 bucks at Jameco.

I mean like where the side panel and the top panel meet. To me it looks like there's still a bunch of paint in there :/

Actually, I'm trying to do that with my current mod. There's a special paint kit / tecnique that will put a rust effect on a project.

 

ah those are the joins and the rounded edges of each panel are highly reflective, as i seemed to sand them most :s alas im in UK need to find a cable sleeving manufacturer

 

Try http://www.kustompcs.co.uk for the cable tidying kit, they do purpose made window moulding too. You might find http://www.coolcasemods.com/customer/home.php worth a look too whiule you're at it.

Some else told me about this earlier... looks very good I think/hope this is what your after?

Love the front of the case

 

Or, don't spend stupid mod-shop prices.

http://rswww.com/ sell sleeving. About a fiver for 5m I think. I'll ask Hippo



edit:

oooh colours

 

wow thanks guys

EDIT:: ooh just what i need for that empty bay

 

Did 2 PSU's for about £5 with the stuff from rs.

Heatshrink £1.73 1.2m (170-6406)
Braiding £2.72 5m (389-886)

worked for me

 

was looking for smd leds have found them

 

remove the case front and use coloured plexi instead

 

yeah how would i go about getting the measurements etc for making my own bevel out of plexi or aluminium?

 

You could make it quieter by ducting the processor



That's 33cent a sheet walmart craft foam stuff (it looks rough because black duct tape was the best thing i could find to join it together) . But it made my comp quiet enough to leave it on all the time.
