What I would like to do with my case

Is mod it.


I've been watching a little MNpctech/monstermawd/Bill Owen lately and I've been a little enlightened to mod this excruciatingly large and ugly case.

I was thinking along the lines of this


 only black, with a window, and another turbine fan.

Any suggestions.

Where did you pick up yourself a dinasaur like that? Hah,I second Akamu's blueprint.. seem's pretty generic, but I mean you're not trying to do like piston powered doors or something, eh?

can you take a pic of the inside plz

Lolz Akamu's idea seems cool lol.

My dad got a computer off of craigslist a couple years ago. We later did some upgrades and it is now the computer that I am using.
as for the brand I have no idea, but addtronics sells similar looking cases.

@pathogen: Here's a pic of the inside:

@Akuma that looks sweet but I sadly will have to wait for my dad to approve of me modding this case. although I'm pretty sure I have the money.

Compressed Air.The case is huge, and ugly. Are you sure its even worth moddingÂ

holy shit theres a lot of dust build up

i second your ideas dan
thats a BIG UGLY computer

do you not have like 50 bucks you can drop on the NZXT beta
or an antec 300
or even something from raidmax or apevia

I mean I dont see the money your going to spend on that case to mod it worth it at all
I mean you can a case a million times better than that for 50 bucks
if you have a 100 bucks that even better

Yes, getting a new case was my first (or maybe second) idea. But from what I've seen MnPCtech do to old computer cases really makes me want to mad this. (Just look at their stuff even the simpler mods)

And yeah it's a big ugly case with a 350W PSU that needs some dusting. (you should have seen the dust filter that I discovered before I cleaned it [1/4 inch+ of dust])

And to answer the last thing you said a 150$ case will probably not look nearly as good as this case with 130$ worth of mods.

you are not mnpctech
unless your a modding god and that is all you do
you are
a) going to spend alot of money on the supplies needed
b) its going to look like an abominationÂ
c) waste your time and money trying to make that look good
when you can take the easy way out and just buy a new case
that is made of quality materials and better cooling and none of that foam shit

hahaha wow. now thats a case....

i agree with pathogen. definately invest in a new case. cause when you get those supplies. your probably not gonna want to do it, and you might mess up en shit.. Â the case will look like crap and youll most likely hate it =)

True I am not Bill Owen.
But I have his guides and the things that I would like to do are fairly straight forward
And I already have a semi complete shopping list:
Thing # 1
Thing #2
Thing #3
Some of the Paint

That is of course not all of it it's just a rough draft.

Also that foam is not **** it's there to keep the noise of these fans below 110 DB. And I think I might make a video of it just to show that it's not a completely terrible case (belive it or not it does have a removable MoBo tray)

Only thing is, Could it get any uglier?

slap chris crockers face on it

Lol maybe I'll try that. (jk)

Now that I see the inside, that case is going to need a lot of flava. The power supply is in a strange place...they put that shyt right in the way with a platform running straight through the middle, taking it's ugliness to a higher level.Â

You can still do it but the side panel would need to be different, I would make sure to keep the middle platform & cages covered and jus put a window showing the top and bottom left with square fans instead of a big circle one.

[color=#ffcc00][b]-[/b][/color]That tiny exhaust fan behind the motherboard sucks like Cleavland, you need more airflow in the lower level.
[color=#ffcc00][b]-[/b][/color]In the middle platform above the mobo, if that is a hole above it then good, put a fan there to help push more air out of there.Â
[color=#ffcc00][b]-[/b][/color]I would also cut a hole above the PSU to add another exhaust fan.Â
[color=#ffcc00][b]-[/b][/color]Add a fan with a nice grill or design (I saw a punisher grill) in front of the bottom 3 bay slots for the hard drives.Â

You should have about 1,000 fans when your done OR 13.

I could care less for sound damping mud you got in there, personally I think that shyt is Oprah ugly and unless you could make it look nice I wouldn't even use it. What I mean by nice is...example you see the top of the pic where the foam isn't covering part of the aluminum....looks like you jus threw that shyt in there and said fukk it.

Alrigh look... the only way your going to do this if you have [color=#ffcc00][b]1_/)[/b][/color] [color=#00ccff]Patience[/color], [color=#ffcc00]2_/)[/color] All the [color=#33cccc]tools[/color],[color=#ffcc00][b] 3_/)[/b][/color] and [color=#00ccff][b]Creativity.[/b][/color]Â Do you have ALL of these?Â

If not or if your patience is short like mines I would jus buy another case and mod something that doesn't need much modding to look good.Â

[Real Example:] [/b][/color]I'm modding my antec 900, painting the inside and trying to cut a design into it with some led lighting behind the design to amplify it. I'm gonna make a video of how it looks now and I'm going to make another video when I am done. (I'll do it in about 2 months or so when I buy a new mobo for it.)

...and why would you need permission to mod this broke-back mountain abomination? If my little niece saw that case she would have nightmares for months.

Yep I have all the tools, patients, and quite a bit of creativity (which I get more from inspiration)

also yes the PSU placement is horrible, the that fan is tiny and was pulled off of some old computer in my attic (a dead one), there is actually an 80mm fan hole above the PSU. As for the sound dampening foam it was installed by the original owner and when I put in the window(s) I plan on placing it(them) so that they don't expose the foamy ugliness.

Also what would your neice have nightmares about? the case as is or modded?
