[EPYK]

i decided im going to use two of my gateway cases for my "the Industry" mod, since i cant get my other case till razor sends it....
but heres my list-o-parts for my new mod.
im going to use the skeletons of my gayeways.
i just ordered 2 switches. one bulgin VPS, and one lan-li VPS
im getting four 12 to 15 inch cc light tubes.. i still havent measured my case yet
and in time i will be getting new hardware for the case..
but until then im using a gigabyte mobo i got off hellboy...
i would like to get liquid cooling in it but im to poor right now...
let me know what u guys think so far....
when i get my stuff situated.. im doing a worklog

Koo... Here's somethink I could never quite understand. Why buy the 19.99 light kit when you could buy a bunch of those 99 cent fan CCFL kits and put those on a case? Nice parts though.

actually now that i have found out i cant solder my case frame, cuase its galvenized... i think i might fabricate a new case for this mod. any input guys?

making your own case as in starting from scratch?

ive got some advice for that... aluminum. its probably the best to work with.

another piece of advice... stress ball. i tried doing that a while ago, and it got to me pretty quick, and im generally laid back.

generally i would advise against this sort of thing. the only advantage to making your own case is you can have custom dimensions. this is a minor thing though, seeming as you can cut any old case down the middle and add a strip of metal or take some out. by all means though, go for it if you want, but i dont want to be saying "i told you so" in a month's time. basically... know what you're doing.

well im taking most of the pain out of the deal, im gonna use a removable mobo tray, with expansion slots ( by lan-li) for the moboso all i need in the back is a big hole... and as for the case.. there is only 2 holes, for switches, and 2 removable panels.
