[samurai_crip]

I bought it at Maplins £49.99

Hmm, any chance I can buy that case in USD and not Euro? I'm in the US.

Well today i got my dremel out and thought my case would look better with some plexi rather than mesh so i cut some up drilled some holes and heres the end result i also removed the filters between the fan grills and the fans It sounds quieter to :banana:

Im getting some new stuff tomorrow so ill keep you all updated :D

[SgtM]

+rep for the plexi mod. It looks much better than the mesh IMO.

[samurai_crip]

Well i bought a UV lighting kit it had x2 tubes, as i was installing the switch in the sockets at the back I slashed my finger into the gap between 2 peaces of sharp metal :(

+Rep for being a Real Modder dude.

How do you know when you're a real modder? When you slice yourself open and the first thing you do (after screaming like a little girl) is take a photo. :D

If I had a dollar for every time I could've taken a photo of one of my injuries, I'd build everyone here a gaming computer. lol

BLAH, I left bout 1L of my blood working with every type of saw I had to deal with.

I like it :D


Ill be getting some more stuff to put into case plus i had an idea of putting a 120mm on the top of the case ?

[klingelton]

yeah, i like that case more than the one i bought from maplins. mine was just a temp solution which has turned into a semi perm. might be time to start modding it. have you noticed that the build quality on the case aint that good, or is that one better than the one i got. Maplins always seems overpriced for the quality of the goods you're getting.

The build quality on this case is alright but for the side panel it just sucks ass The screws were lose etc and it was way to flimsy. Yea i know man there isnt a good pc shop here so im stuck with Maplins its way overpriced plus they never have the shyt you want lol :down:

PS: This is a very nice case to mod tho, simple in design etc plus it looks great :D

[GT40_GearHead]

nice work BUT man cable management

i mean its clean as it is, but with that sweet light, why nt make eye candy


+rep for pic :D

[Mitternacht]

Something I never noticed until now; why do you have a microATX motherboard in a mid-ATX case?

[progbuddy]

lol. Scissors ate my thumb, and I still have a battlescar :D. Ditto. I have had thermal paste in my eye (burns like hell), and that had to be the worst.
