I have a Platinum XP case from Ahanix. Originally I wasn't planning on doing any modifications at all, but I stumbled my way across a couple of sites and it sparked a tiny interest. I am new to the whole modding thing so I have no clue what to do. Also even the overdone things to you seem new and cool to me. So by the time I build my next comp I will be with you, but for now I need something to keep me busy.... I was curious if anybody out there would have any suggestions that doesn't involve too much knowledge of electrical circuits or cutting my case to shreds. I am up for pretty much anything... I have a Soyo motherboard KT333 Dragon Ultra Platnum Edition with a 60 mm fan. I thought about putting a grill on it for my cathode.... but I can't find any decent 60 mm fan grills. I can't manage to get a picture. (wow! I am a failure)

well i guess i would start with a window and some extra fans for one , may be add some rounded cables and clean up the wireing too.. thoes are all easy mods to do so you shouldn't have too many problems....

How artistic are you? You might try painting your case, Insomniac has a couple guides on doing that here. A custom shaped window is a nice mod thats not too hard to do. If you have ventalation grills in the front of your case you could put a small 4'' cold cathode behind them or something. And theres always the good top blow-hole.. you can make one of them and then put an LED lit fan behind it, thats pretty sweet looking. And if nothing else, try to be creative! A big part of modding is art... and a big part of art is trying something new.

im a big fan of bright leds, i put em everywhere i can think of

Knowing what Kenny thinks about, that's scary!



Kleiner - If you're nervous about cutting your case up, making your own 60mm fan grille would be a great place to start ... easier said than done I know, but all it would really take is patience and a few basic metalworking tools.

I'd suggest you use 1/16th aluminium as it's easy to work & polishes up really well.

add some fans, and a c.c., maybe some leds, it´s not hard, unless you are stupid like me, thinking of it it wasn´t too hard, you should have no problem!

Easy mods:

Changin' your case LEDs out to non-factory colors.
installin' backlit or silenced fans
Installin' a baybus (which is pretty good experience)
Stealth a drive or two
Wrap up your wires and/or go for rounded IDEs

Anyway... that takes some time, and is a pretty good start. Have fun ;-)

Here, I found a picture for all of you to know what I am talking about. I hope it loads. We will have to see. I am interested in making my own fan grill, but i think if i cut it.... it would look crappy, not just any crappy either... Barbara Striesand Crappy!
