Project : Nice for Now

[Jim Beam]

This isn't a big time mod just dressin up to get a better rig for now. I figured I'd show you guys anyways if you have some suggestions feel free to share em.

Since I didn't start out taking pics here is the case before.

Plastic things holding the windows in had to go, so I put some cap screws in:

Couldn't handle the gold grills on the PSU so bye bye gold:

I hate wires especially uncovered so I started covering with sleeving:

Damn! That's one big case!

Wow!
What else do you plan on doing to it?

[calumc]

That thing is HUGE!!!

I want one!!!

And +rep for having such a big case!!!

[Jim Beam]

well few ccfl's some kind of USB mod for the front(too many ports not enough headers). Th wire management is well non existent so somethings gotta be done there. maybe redo the hard drive bay so my raptor HD is facing out cause it looks pretty neat.

[NocturnaL]

So your jus gonna manage your wires and add some ccfls i assume?

[Jim Beam]

for now I was gonna do more but honestly I thought I'd like the case but I don't and if someone wants to trade me for this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112062) I will mail it right away :lick:

What in the world is the 7" drive bay for?

[Jim Beam]

well they make a screen that you can put there that folds out. I thought about puttin a pioneer head unit in there and makin a custom sound system. That was then this is now and that thought is no longer but it could be done.

That was then this is now and that thought is no longer but it could be done.

do the next-day-thing like me

One day a brilliant idea is going to hit you right in the face. BUT WAIT TILL THE NEXT DAY! if it still looks good the next day go for it! but if you are like WTF was i thinking :? i would stay away from that project

like my idea of having an acrylic case and fill the whole side wall with CCs :0 WTF was i thinking?

[Jim Beam]

I wish I had done that before bought it but nope. Ah well I'll make it work till I build a case I like the I'll do some real modding to this one muahahahahaha!

[elbarto241]

Definitely take luke's advice. one time i was looking at a online tribal tattoo store and was digging the tribals :D and drew up a skullz with flames that at the time i thought was bada$s. the next day when i was about to cut on the side of my PC and i took another look at it and said to myself WTF was i thinking. THIS IS FUGLY!

adrenaline + caffeine does some crazy things my friend :D

[Jim Beam]

yea I will probly gonna just get it done for now till I think of something. I am thinking of putting some hexagon mesh on the outside of the plexiglass windows. Then on the side where the PSU is leave the plexi out for better air to the PSU.
