Big Freaking Case.....What to do?

TheGreatSatan · 21-December-05, 09:45 PM

I have this full tower case with nothing to do with it. I have fans and lighting and paint, but no components. So what to do? Should I keep it or sell or give it away?

Hello TGS, you could make that case into a partner to go with R2D2, maybe give it like a DeathStar theme. Just my thought on it.

Fatsobob · 21-December-05, 10:07 PM

I suggest you add some coushins and take a nap in it.

Anyway, WIth that Beige beauty, I would do some kind of ship design.
It is big enough to fit a squad of storm troopers in it.

Nerdz · 21-December-05, 10:09 PM

Yea but where did you get it from?

GrandpaNoob72 · 21-December-05, 10:26 PM

Not to add fuel to the Star Wars fire, but visions of Star Destroyers came to mind when I saw that big-arsed case...

Maybe a Vader head sticking out the top, that turns its head left and right, and pulls over to ask for directions, linked in to the HDD activity headers on the motherboard...

Watercool it.

HigHTecHReDNecK · 21-December-05, 10:41 PM

OH OH OH OH I KNOW I KNOW IKNOW **hand waving** PICK ME PICK ME

renovate it, and turn it into a split level

2x mATX boards 2x small psu 2x EVERYTHING

integrate a back up uninterruptable power supply
for about $5 you can pick up a dead battery UPS from a computer recycling store and just replace the gel cell. they usually just have one board and a transformer since most are cheap square wave inverters. the idea came after i bought a used UPS for $5 and all it needs is a new battery ($35)

sell that desk yacht to me yo!!!!!!!

Wordbiker · 21-December-05, 11:18 PM

Put a motor in it and drive it to work?

OK, I had to add this idea:

Double-decker bus mod, like you might see in England. Really, you could do multiple levels with rows of windows, a bondo job on the front with a bus grille, etc.

TheGreatSatan · 21-December-05, 11:21 PM

Actually I'm leaning toward holding a contest. Again.

Lol.. that case is even bigger them my current modding project... I doubt it would even fit under a desk...
Gotta love those big towers with removable mainboard trays!

Watercooling seems like a good idea... the thing looks like the Starship Enterprise... strap 2 Zalman
reserators to it and you've got yourself a set of Warp Engines!

Make it look like the Empire State building and rent office space out in it to Donald Trump.

Seriously though, I Iike the internal UPS idea. And a water cooling system...that has a reservoir big enough to have fish in it.

A separate tank-within-a-tank, of course so the water doesn't get fish guano in it. The fish being in the res would only be an illusion.

No angel fish for the Great Satan though.....

mattyboy · 22-December-05, 09:32 AM

First thing I would do is paint it if you can, and get rid of the lame colour, Aside from that, its a cool, nice looking case.

TheGreatSatan · 22-December-05, 12:33 PM

Since no one is listening, I'll say it again.

CONTEST
