Clean slate for modding

penguinmat · 15-July-06, 08:56 PM

This computer looks like a perfect side panal for modding. What do you guys think of it?

Ohh yeah can you look at the picture of the inside and tell me if it supports micro atx as well as standard atx mobos.

From your link:

Motherboard Compatibility M/B FORM FACTOR A/B/C/M (P4 ready)

penguinmat · 15-July-06, 11:56 PM

I know it says that but I dont know what those are I have never seen those form factors before.

I was just wondering if it supported micro atx.

musclecars&computers · 16-July-06, 12:01 AM

I would think it would mean this.

ATX
BTX
CTX?? NOT SURE
MATX

I belive thax what it means.

ATX and BTX generally can't coexist... you usually have to replace a backplate.

it's probably a code... A= ATX, B=Baby AT, C= something else, M= uATX, or something like that.

It looks like the side panel has a pattern raised in it; this may affect your mod plans. I know I have to work around side blowholes on a lot of cases now. :cursing:.

i see the pattern as well...

looks like bumps or something wierd like that. . . I'd look for another case. I had found a great one but I tried saving it and i just checked and it wasnt saved anymore

looks like i'll have to search again.

I'm looking for a white case as well hopefully something sturdy and could possibly support water cooling for my next mod.

*edit* just found this one on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811156011 although I would def use some bondo to reshape the front.

it says its shipping weight is 28lbs!!!!! That thing will weigh so much once components are in!!! good thing it has wheels or else it wouldnt move at all

TiZakit · 19-July-06, 12:50 AM

yeah, its heavy... I hate lightweight cases. I don't know why, but I like the idea of being able to use it as a step stoll if needed. (not that I do, as the pc is above my head, a pain for inserting disks, but little dust.)

swimsfast99 · 19-July-06, 05:50 AM

hmmm using your computer as a step stool

that sounds kinda risky. Also that computer is on wheels so i dont think it would be a good step stool. Maybe a good chair though
