Which Case Do I Use?!?

[CanaBalistic]

I cant deside which case im going to use for my next project. I have enough 3/8 aluminum to skin a jumbo jet! Naw, really its a sheet 3 foot by 6 foot. I have enough to skin any one of my cases and im expecting a new baby pc soon. I've been itching to mod somthing. I've been collecting parts like mad. Every table has computer junk(gold) on it. Its time to get off my arse and mod somthing. I can think of 50 cool things i like about each case.

lol, thats like asking which stack on money you want. you want all of them damn it.

[Indybird]

That tall one in the middle looks interesting, you got a side view? Thats looks like it would be a good project... ;)

[Slug Toy]

how about using all of them at once? if you cant decide... turn them all into one big monstrosity, and then figure out a way to make it look good.

I live in an apartment... Not to mention the the fact that a computer is rather small and i'd have 6 empty cases attached to the case holding the parts. Not a plausable choice right now.


IndyBird:
Here's a pic of the original case. The second one shows the new drive cage i installed. I had planed on sticking a 360mm rad up front and a 160mm rad on the back for water cooling but its out of my price range right now.

I like that tall one too.

[MitaPi]

Hmm... Melt them all together and then compact it into a tiny square. Head down to the nearest computer store and take that metal square and chuck it at the managers head. Grab whatever case you want ...and run like hell. :D

That big one in the middle might be the most fun to play around with.

[Indybird]

Wow, I really think you should use that tall one, esp. now that you showed me the side pic's. Its just screaming out "mod some watercooling in" at the top above the PSU... :p I don't know what you'd do about the side panels, then again you got lots of metal and are probably a way better modder than I am so you could figure something out. ;)

i liked the one on the right. the black HTPC thingy.

[CanaBalistic]

The tall one:
Yeah i'd like to put W/C in it but i cant afford it. It doesnt make much sence to put anything else in it. If i set it up for no W/C, its going to be a big hassle to change it later. This was the first case i planed on modding but i never found the right quality or amount of aluminum to do it. However, thats changed now but i still dont have cash for any new parts. Well, maybe a few parts but not whats needed for W/C.

The HTPC Case:
This is a really sweet case that would be awsome for a htpc, aslong as it doesnt need a CD-rom. There are a few space issues with this case and an ATX mobo. However the computer im going to use is a mini ATX and might resolve a few issues with its reduced size.

Also: THe computer is coming in a small dell case so thats yet another case that could be modded.

[AMD RULES]

use the tall one in the center. Im sure you could do something awesome with that case.

[EPYK]

whats under the 2 apples and to the left of the tall one????
is that a computer case? or some random thing

[fresh]

use this tall one it is the best for modd becose lot of thing can fit in ;)

[CanaBalistic]

The tall one seems to be the general consensus.

EPYK: Its an electronic score board that i got from work. I think it would make a pretty sweet case.

you can inplant it :D

[CanaBalistic]

implant it how?

[fresh]

i dont know like roff on the top or something (does it fit?);)

[Jarnauga]

The flat apple case seems interesting, as well.

Ah, i see what your talking about now. I test fitted it up there and it looks allright but it makes the case unstable. I think if the arcade thing was on the bottom and the case sat on the lip that it would be better and more stable. It could then be turned into a cooling tower of sorts. there is enough room for 2 360mm rads on it and enough extra room for reserviors and pumps.

I dont know if you guys are fallowing my vision but it makes sence in my mind.

[EPYK]

i say combine the scoreboard thing to the tall case thing and lets call it a day
