First Mods

audiolistener · 08-May-07, 12:02 PM

Hello everybody I've been reading the forums for some time now but this is my first time modding anything. These mods are actually part of a bigger project that I think I am going to donate to my little sister's school computer lab so that the kids can actually see what goes on inside the white boxes. The plan is to window everything that can be windowed and mount it all to a piece of plywood and for it all to still work. I would have posted in the work log forum but I forgot to take before pics. I can tell you that everything was originally gray and didn't have windows. The hard drive is my next victim.

Wow, that all looks awesome, I especially love how the power supply looks. Do you play on putting LEDs inside all the windows? Good luck!

The light doesn't bother the drive at all. I'm doing one for the Butt3rfly 3ff3ct, and I've yet to run into any problems. I recommend a Lazer LED bank though, they light up the spinning disk beautifully.

BTW, great job

I love what you've done, hope you know what you're doing with that HDD, the insides are very delicate when you've removed the top.

Thanks Baka. I was wondering how i was going to light everything, I will look into using the lazer led bank. I know about the sensitivity of the hard drive. I'm not to worried about it if it doesn't work afterwards because it is not going to be the main drive its only 2.5 GB but it will look sweet.

It will look tight, you're right about that. Overclockers has a pretty helpful tutorial on windowing a hard drive (found here), maybe that'll help.

Good luck!

Very Nice, I like the psu mod you did looks great. That will really look great in a windowed pc, Rep+ to you for great idea.
