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:

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.

Please comment, I would like to know what you think.

Thank you

    • AFAIK you shouldn't be getting a consent popup at all from Canada, so I think it is to do with a VPN or private/secure DNS.
    • From what I see it's only for Insider - preview builds. Not for everybody. So...
    • Of course, all of that sounds great on paper... No it doesn't!
