What's up with all the modding here? :)

Hey dudes (maybe even ladies?), I was wondering, why exactly DO you mod?

I mod because I hate ugly gray/beige cases. I love colors and electronics. Need to fill my time with something which obviously could only be modding since I like and hate the stuff I mentioned above... So what's up with all the modding?

 

I'm one for little electronics doodahs and gadgety things, like macro creates most of the time

 

Well I like fur

And dislike beige..........so there we are

 

I guess whe are all "alternative-dudes" (or gals), so we all want something different then our friends, who have plain old beige cases. I know I mod because of that. I'm so alternative, that I don't want a scooter because everyone has the same one. and stuff...

maybe a fight against our parents? like before it was music, now it's modding your PC? I know my parents always nag about me leaving the case off, ...

 

Off subject post: I think I'll start a new thread called:"What's up with all the lady avatars?"

 

Desire for something you can never have, would probably be it. (about the avatars). About modding - who wants a boring beige case in today's colorful world?

 

when ure stoned, everything sounds like a great idea

 

Seriously though, it adds charecter to a normal, same-as-everything-else object. and it's fun

 

A hobbie and and enjoy the overall result of it looking good

 

i started because i like hobbys without rules.

i used to play warhammer and 40k but got jack of the staff at games workshop telling me what i can and cant do ....

him - "you cant have a skaven cavalry unit"

me - "and why the hell not?"

him - "cause skaven cant ride horses"

me - "why the hell not?"

him - "its not in the rulebook"

me - "and?"

him "so its not allowed......"

me - "so just cause its not in the rulebook means its physicaly imposible that a group of skaven could have stolen horses and actualy became halfway decent at riding"

him - "no, its not in the rulebook which means its not allowed"

me -

casemodding is great cause the only limiting factor (other than money and the basic laws of physics) is my imagination. not some rulebook nazi who deserves a good asswhupping for playing a fantasy wargame and yet having no imagination.

 

Reasons I mod:

1. Too much time on my hands
2. If I'm modding my case, I'm off my computer, which is a good thing as far as my parents are concerned
3. All the looks/questions @ LAN parties
4. How else can you say "My computer is more see-through than most women"?
5. Cooling, always important
6. I fit the mad scientist/evil genius profile, what's it to ya?

 

I like to think that I mod because i'm a graphic artist, but in reality it most likely stems from my subconscious refusing to admit that i'm horrifically ugly.

 

Because I'm quite mad.

MAD MAD MAD.

Excuse me, I must go feed the other personality...... He's bickering too much and I can't concentrate on my modding........

 

part of my day release programme

nah i just do it for the hell of it

 

Same here I just think they look cool

And teh all important LAN party coolness aspect

 

Hehe, mine is better cos it changes on refresh

 

1) Increased performance

2) Looks

3) Why not?

 

Same as Geek, but then I'm the one that introduced him to modding







<----w00t, 1/2K mark

 

And who is it that has acctually(sp?) modded their case Banished?


Oh, that's right me





don't kill me
