[rebelliont56]

What do you like?

What type of theme will keep you interested in the mod?

[rebelliont56]

i dunno...im conna be using blue/uv CCFLs and green or blue uv reative coolant...but yea i dunno but liek i guess maybe cuttin an extra indow in the top...dunno...anything im open to basiacally trying to make my case look beast...a sexy beast that is!

Unless you plan on doing some wild stuff to your cd/dvd drive, like a window on the drive showing the disc spinning, I don't see much need to put another vent/window on the top of the case.

If you're going with a blue/green color scheme then you might think about changing the drive rails to UV blue (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1307/cpa-104/AntecChenming_Drive_Rails_Pair_-_UV_Reactive.html?tl=g43c235s608).

You can clean up all the wiring with this UV blue heatshrink (http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l2/g35/c181/list/p1/Cable_Sleeving-Heat_Shrink_UV.html) and UV blue cable sleeves (http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l2/g35/c177/list/p1/Cable_Sleeving-Sleeving_UV_Reactive.html).

Edit: Do you want to only do a superficial mod to your case or more into the realm of "Holy crap that's a computer case! :eek:"

[rebelliont56]

well im probably not ready for the crazy holy crap thats a computer case...more jsut look it look beast!....or i dunno by riverails what exactly do u mean?

...or i dunno by riverails what exactly do u mean?

click on the blue underlined words, they're links to what I'm taking about. The rails on your case are clear/frosted thought you might like to change it to UV blue.

oh u mean the tool free instalationclips gotcha hmm maybe ill tryit if i can figure out how to take em out and put them back with out hurting them...and then paint tem and have them still swing right

[rebelliont56]

frankley since my psu came with presleeved connectors (black that is) i think im gonna use silver sleeving on everything with black/UV blue or UV blue heatshrink...so the silver will reflect the lifht from the CCFLs..dunno....do u have any prefs for non-conductive coolant??

The rails should just be screwed on.

I haven't built a water cooled system yet so I'm not the expert on that but I've been looking at this coolant (http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c103/s184/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Coolant_Additives-UV_Reactive-Page1.html) for my next case which will be water cooled.

[rebelliont56]

oh that stuff thats what im looking at too..like im using swifttech parts and so swifttech suggest using its stuff...but thats sutff is not non-conductive making thus possibly dangerous if a leak gets past a leak test ....chyea but ill see what i com up with for my case...btw for ur water cooling i would highly suggest swifttech parts ive done alot of research and it seem they always have the best reviews and most awards...and if u build a custom system liek i am doing i would suggest the ebst tubing of all, Tygon,,u can get it on frozencpu its actually from the medical industry i think..

I'll take that into consideration when I get around to building my case.
