Got a new case, need ideas for unique mods

Speedingpenguin · 14-September-03, 12:27 AM

Just got a free case from a friend....its one of those small little Compaq cases with the purple/clear front....
I want to make this case totally kickass!
I thought about maybe using Bondo to shape the case differently, but i'm not sure if i really wanna get into that. What are some inexpensive/unique/cheap mods i can do? i have a dremel and tons of tools, and am good at painting. Any ideas along the lines of LED's and stuff? ideas for paint? please help me out here....

Its not really unique if someone else tells you what to do.... well i guess it is.

FYI a pic of the case would help

Some pictures would help. I have no idea what the new Comcrap cases look like. Last time I have owned or seen on was wayyyyyyyy back in 98'.

well i'm not asking you guys to tell me what to do, what i meant was for you to throw out some suggestions of something i could do that would be unique...here are pics too.

Well - if youre the speedingpenguin - may I suggest a penguin theme. Avoid the whole Tux/Linux thing - I'm sure it's been done to death somewhere. Mostly a black and white [hi-white]case - with a penguin silloutte window. That'll give your dremel and paint skills places to shine.
Good Luck

i was thinking that last night :-D i may give it a try...thx

Maybe for the front where I beleive a cd can be stored, you could dremel it out add a lighted fan there with a grill to shine through the clear purple front..

Just a suggestion..

That front bezel where that compaq symbol resides looks perfect for one damn big blow hole, and even keeping that acrylic crap might look good without compaq in the middle of it.

After 4 months it's probable Pingu has already started ... maybe even finished
