gatewatcher Posted August 20, 2002 I'm just wondering, does anyone have a custom case or anything? You know, things like neon lights or nuclear etchings on the case window? Anything like that basicaly. I myself have been considering doing something of that nature to my new computer, if I can afford it after getting all the parts and such. 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted August 20, 2002 I took my case apart and have a fan blowing on it. Helps keep it frosty, and my modem connected at 54.6 kbps thanks to it =] 0 Share this post Link to post

gatewatcher Posted August 20, 2002 What I'm thinking of doing is putting a neon light inside of the case and putting a biohazzard etching on the window. To get a little more creative, maybe it would be possible to carve the DooM logo into the side of it using tools from the metal shop or something. Then, put a window under the logo with a neon light. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

Use Posted August 20, 2002 my new pentium4 has a nice aluminum case. there's some transparent panels i can get for it that'd look good with those neon lights, but $$$ limited so, i'll get my primary parts first, worry about looks later 0 Share this post Link to post

AndrewB Posted August 20, 2002 Let's see, I can change the wristpad colors on my laptop. Also, I fiddled with the jumpers to disable the green & red lights on my desktop computer. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted August 20, 2002 Why would you modify your computer case? I prefer to look at the monitor, not the box. 0 Share this post Link to post

You know, so that instead of of bending down all the time to put a cd in the tray, the case will just rise up. ;) Anyway, I can see most everyone hates the idea off modifying your case. Oh well. 0 Share this post Link to post

nxn Posted August 20, 2002 Ok look, you have money, you have an ugly pc. Why have an ugly pc when you can have a cool pc, and it wont matter to you much either way? Plus, who konws, maybe it's a little personal obsession the fuck has. Like some people here might collect doom shit and spend all their money on it, the other person might get shit to make their pc look nice. Who are we to judge. 0 Share this post Link to post

Think of it as the car-modifying scene, but for geeks. Which could explain how one feckless bloke got his P4 to clock at that 3500Mhz or whatever it made. 0 Share this post Link to post

nxn Posted August 21, 2002 mmnpsrsoskl said:Why? I reckon it's funny. Because it seems they don't like when people make their cars look like they can go faster than they actually can. But in their hall of shamelss you see that prelude that they made to look like a VTEC. So doesn't that kind of put them in the same category as the people they bash? I guess what they think the difference is, is that they succeeded at making that car look like a VTEC while the ones in the hall of shame didn't and decreased their cars performance. The whole thing seems idiotic and I think they're just trieing to look cool by mocking other cars. Worthless, pointless, and hypocritical. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted August 21, 2002 Pimping out your car is pointless. I mean, cars are shitty and only good if you need transportation. Most will only last five or six years before giving out (unless its a Chevy Astro..muahahaha), and these people probably get into more accidents by running into shit while checking the reactions of people they pass by. Then you have a fucked up custom car...yay for you! 0 Share this post Link to post
