To what extent is your PC modded? - Page 2

Highperf15 · 20-January-04, 12:28 AM

Since I'm currently running a HP case...and it suks....I'm looking to purchase this one. It's a Kingwin and New Egg has it for $85.00

DuckWarrior · 20-January-04, 12:39 AM

I love Kingwin cases and anyone with a problem with premodded cases can kiss my @$$.

There is no such thing as "pre mod" anymore.

j-dogg · 20-January-04, 01:04 AM

Check out these 5 1/4" drive covers I pulled out of a SCSI hard-drive mass storage unit I was stripping out in the warehouse at Astro Too. Shot this one in the dark because if you have the flash on the contrast sucks at this angle.........

mr.mods · 28-January-04, 10:46 PM

my case "used to"be pre modded
intill i striped pant added own window made from real glass ,lighting, windowed hard drive and a small fan controler totial coust 6 bucks for striper and 6 for clear coat and case lock

I can relate to those who have the imagination

, ingenuity

, and ambition

but not the cash to mod

. For my mod I used left over parts for rounding the cables like wire mesh from a dead monitor's cable, insulation from an old Cat. V cable. Being a good shopper helps too. The color changing paint I bought on clearance. The inside paint cost only $1.00. The CCFL's I bought cheap online.

Patience is a virtue...and a means of saving cash also. If you don't do it right the first time, do you have the money to repeat it again?

Check out the end result here

I probably can add mor but I like it as is. Remember, it's your machine. You're the one who is going to use it so don't worry about critics.

Wow the mods look nice

Nice job on a tight budget.

Terence · 09-August-04, 09:38 AM

Painted in and out, custom top-window, tinted window, some lights, some uv-reactive cabling, psu modded, and a false bottom-plate to hide inverters and wires and dust

mentyl · 09-August-04, 09:25 PM

I'm going for the close encounters vote. Polished all the metal inside the case, 4 cc uv fans, 2 12" ccl uvs', 2 12" ccl blue, 3 blue led fans in the Koolance unit on top, uv blue reactive tubing outlining components and uv reactive green in the water cooling setup and soon a polished aluminum front bezel.

Now the case I'm building for the mod competition, is going to be 100% made. 1/4" Acrylic, with holograms, and totally custom watercooling.

WuKillaBee · 01-September-04, 08:29 PM

my system is pretty regular i suppose, but im hoping on bringing my system up till its omething i can be proud of, gonna take time n effort, but ill get there with help from fellow members here i guess

WuKillaBee · 23-September-04, 08:36 PM

I joined this forum about a month ago, and when i joined i had a basic packard bell comp. 512ram, radeon 9000 BS, and a p4 2.8

i now have modded to the following

thermaltake lanfire xaser VM2000A case
ATI Radeon 9600 256mb OC'd to 450core and 225 memory, w/ Vantec Iceberq4 cooling
q-tec 400watt dual fan gold PSU
am gonna have 1024 ram by end of month and a new CPU cooler with LEDs and such.

and im currently building up a new comp for my gal which will be pretty much the same

all this thanks to pimprig forums and one member in particular - Dimazz who helped me a lot!

thanks PR!!! now if onle i can get my probationary status lifted

Matlok · 27-November-04, 11:25 PM

I have a pre-modded case. I have absolutely no knowledge of how to mod anything and don't want to screw anything up right now. I plan to learn how to in the near future. The big problem is I have almost no creativity so ideas are hard to come by for me.

Just get yourself an old machine that someone is throwing out to get started and practice on. That way your main machine stays in good shape and you can get started on your Jedi modding ablities.

Start simple, try just painting it. Look at the design of the case, take it apart, put it back together. think about where you want the paint to be.

check out the tutorials on the PR site also. Dig the gallery. There's lots and lots of inspiration all around here.

Also, many guys here can help give ou some ideas. Lots of us will post just ideas, maybe with a pic of the plain case to get ideas and input from other modders. We'll be glad to help give you ideas, tips, tricks, and gotchas!

Go for it!

All I have is a duct I did at home with some ABS pipe, a 92mm fan, and some wire to give the pipe a bit of an edge on the outside with a fan grill glued to the outside intake.

Sounds like @$$ but really its not that bad.

As of this time, my current rig now has a the following:

Lian Li PC-61 case
clear blue round cables,
(4) Blue LED 80mm case fans
and..........the hardware in my sig that I already installed........

That's about it for right now

Teranfirbt · 30-December-04, 02:27 AM

Fan and cooling mods I've got down pretty good... I haven't really gotten into the windows or lights, although I'm thinking about adding some LEDs behind the front bezel or something...

Cpl Rampage · 01-January-05, 07:18 PM

i started with a pre mod, cut some new fan holes, did some cable sleeving, painted my PSU ( awsome mirror finish black), lapped my HSF, drive concealment all on a fairly tight buget

MusKa · 07-January-05, 12:34 PM

p.s. the two are my families not mine

gta3 · 14-January-05, 05:00 PM

Solarik · 19-February-05, 09:05 PM
