you smartass jive turkeys. (case modding)

[Sephiroth]

the monitor thread gave me a new thread idea. What if any case mods have you done?

i did have pictures early on of my 'soviet' mod. i made several improvments but never shard any of those pictures.

i used a TM108 case. original had soviet/communist symbol and USSR written on the side. i later cut out a large section and made a glowing red hammer and sickle shape with placstic and LED lights. i gave it a more industrial look with various metal banding and parts i got from my uncle and grandfather. the only thing i could not find was a yellow cold cathode light for inside the case.

however it saddens me that i later scraped this when i updated and built the new system. my case looks a bit plain and lame now. however soviet system will rise agian, when i got time

I did a mod on my old P5 that ran at 120mHz. I took my Gateway P5-120 case, painted it black (leaving the gold G and the white P5-120 logo), cut a square hole on top, put a plexiglass window in it with a fan that glows green, and for a fan grate I got the Unreal logo. Then I upgraded it to a P5 that runs at 233mHz. As soon as I get money, I'll get some cool IDE cables for inside. I also plan on writing the kanji for "sakura" on it in white since I call the computer Sakura. (kanji here: http://japanese.about.com/blkow2.htm )

Who would have thought a P5 could reach speeds of 233mhz, thats a 33mhz faster than my old pentium 1!!!

I put an apple sticker on mine once. That's the extent of what I bother to do.

My case looks perfectly fine to me, without any "mods".

My case has a nice hole in the side of it - haven't got a window to put in it yet and a neon light.

I have a via mini-itx built into an old speaker box (you wouldn't be able to tell if it wasn't for the cables and a bright led on it), - although minus the speaker as it tends to wreck hhd's and the like, heh.

I have clay models of furries on top of my monitor.

Case mods totally fail to interest me.

Maybe if it had been big five years ago, but I had begun to modify cars by then and I was working on my Merc 190E project by the time the modded PC cases became really popular.

Cars are my passion more than PCs.
