Post Your Case Mods


Recommended Posts

Started out with a plain white/blueish enermax case I got on sale on newegg. Got REALLY bored one week of the summer before work started, SO.

It had no window or anything, and the fan holes on the back were crappy. So, with some work with the air powered cutoff wheel in the garage, I managed to cut out the flames that my friend laid out for me (i have no artistic talent whatsoever). Then, got a piece of plexi and had my friend lay out some flames on that, which I cut into it with a sandblaster. After that, primer, wet sanding, primer, wet sanding, paint...etc. I then mounted a LED brake light I had laying around off my truck inside below the plexi. Other than that, I cut out the crappy fan grills and replaced them with wire grills (made things MUCH quieter). And for moving into the dorm etc (lan parties), i mounted the door handle on top.

Great case mods. here is my first case mod. decent considering it was my first.. cut it out with a dremel tool (no flexi-shaft) mounted the plexi with push button anchors, which look cleaner than screws. I have 2 red led case fans installed, needs alittle more light to make it glow like i want it to but looks good anyway.. sorry for the pic being blurry.. got some big case mods planned but no time to spend on them right now..

Alienized, that water cooling system, is it any good? I was thinking on getting one but dont know how good it is.

well if u want a dead silent pc than yes its damn good :D , fanless as u can see u wont hear a thing the reserva mite look big but u can barely hear it runing. The tubes get quite hot while on heavy tasking but i guess thats normal. The simpliest setup i ever seen, you just cant go wrong with this when u set it up. Ok when it comes to cooling, well its not like a huge diference from air cooling maybe 5C to 8C temp drop but what really is cool about it, is that there aint no noise mate thats why i really bought it for. I have overclocked my prescott from 3.60ghz to 4Ghz very stable, thats all i can say.

have a look at my sig. i also recommend putting in 2 front case fans (80mm) as i put 2 in 1 week ago and it dropped my Motherboard temp from a worrying 50 to a awesome 35 and somehow seemed to drop my CPU temp by 5 degree's. and theres no noise difference. i forgot to put in my sig i have 4 case fans, 1x120mm and 3x80mm. i luv my CPU cooler and GPU cooler and PSU!

So I got a ton of new stuff for my computer for Christmas, and now my computer looks completely different, as you can see if you look at my earlier post. I really think this was a huge improvement. The pictures aren't the best and don't bring out how well the colors (blue, green, ultra violet) work together. Now I sound like an idiot, so I'll just let you look at the pictures:

dsc077128jl.th.jpg dsc077133ri.th.jpg

There will be some minor mods to come in the near future. I'll be sure to get some better pictures next time.

I used a 3? hole saw, c-strip rubber fan molding, skull and cross bones laser cut fan grill w/ net guard, vantec 80mm blue/green spectrum uv led fan.

    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
