Hi:

Im new to this forum and new to modding. I have a friend who is in the modding business and willing to help me mod my pc. He has already done some very cool work to the case already but I would like to add some of other modding to it.

Description of My Case :

The Link to my case:

http://www.coolermaster.com/index.php?LT=english&Language_s=2&url_place=product&p_serial=CAC-T05&other_title=+CAC-T05+Centurion%205

My Case has the silver color and has a window mod done by Cooler Master when I bought the case. The window mod came when a large Centurion Icon and a nasty Centurion icon next to the power button. Also there was alot of black foamy filter on the preferated front. I removed the foam and popped of the icon next to the power button. My friend replaced the window with a clear plexi one (which looks alot better) and smoothed out the metal were the icon next to the power button was (smoothed out so much that it is hard to even notice). He also helped install a 120mm fan that is bolted in three bay above my floppy drive ( yes a floppy, for when all else fails, i guess ) .The case shelters Amd 64 gigabyte machine with a 3D1 video. There are 7 (2 120mm, 2 80mm, 2 70mm and a tiny one) fans that emit a medium blue glow that illumiate the case enough to show what I have but not enough for sunglasses. The fans that I have on the bottom are 3d fan card from logisys and emit some UV glow but not enough to UV the case.

Modding Question:

What could I do to make my case look better than it looks, I feel like what it has is not enough eye candy. I plan to wrap all the wiring in blue electric tape to help with the blueness emitted from my fans. My friend is going to show me the best way to rotor into a case as well as some painting techniques but I want to hear from those who post in this forum a few if not many ideas that would work. Although I stray from watercooling, I haven't gotten over the fear of water in my computer. But Im very open to other ideas.

Thanks for anything you have to say!

I would say that if you want good input on this forum a couple of things would be very helpful, you should provide some pictures of what your case looks like now. Including the mods you have already done.

Also, and I can't stress this enough, you should have some basic ideas of what you want your finished product to look like. I have seen several threads from people asking for modding suggestions without giving an indication of their intentions. This makes it very difficult to give any suggestions. Ultimately, you, and not us, will have to look at this thing every day. You will have to decide what you consider proper "eye candy". What one person likes, others hate. And vice versa.

get a 10 lb sledge and just dent the crap out of your case, kind of like post-apocalyptic meets full on anger... :D

seriously tho, Zed's post said it all. what are you goin after, what is your skill set, what tools do you have available. that all comes into play when you want to sit down and mod.

get us some pics and we'll go from there..
