Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
I'm Kieran, from Australia
I thought it was about time I actually joined this place after lurking here for a few years. and I've been around a bit at Red Raider Tech and The Mod Brothers.
Hopefully I might get a project going soon depending on funding and free time as I'm currently studying industrial design.
Cheers, Kieran

Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
I'm actually surprised I'm a new member here. I was modding back in 2002 and for the next few years I thought I had joined just about every case mod forum in the world. Maybe not. ;)
After a heart attack and the discovery of lung disease in 2005, I was unable to continue doing what I enjoyed so much. I built what I thought was going to be my last system and hung up my Dremel. It was the worst mod I ever did - no paint, no patience. I feel very fortunate that it died before me.
Now I have to build another new system. I'm using a new laptop (HP Pavilion), but I prefer a desktop PC. I have a small apartment now and a smallish desk, so I thought a SFF machine might be just the thing. I can't do much modding to it (nothing that would require a respirator or that creates inordinate amounts of dust, any smoke or fumes), but I think I can do enough to satisfy my longing to mod again.
Most of the forums I was active on in the first half of this decade are either gone (like my own TheMadModder.com) or closer to death than I am (it's okay, I don't mind joking about it - I'm a realist). Some are inappropriate for this project and some I just don't like anymore.
I recognize several names from back in the day, so I have a good feeling about this. I hope you guys can put up with a grumpy old guy - even older now than I was then, but maybe a little less grumpy. I came to mod, with a little help and guidance from you people.
Grump aka Jim McClain

Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread

Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
Hey Everybody!
Although I've been building and toying around with computers for a long time now, I just recently got into case modding. It was mainly out of necessity, as I wanted to do a system build that needed to shoehorn a lot of big components into a reasonably small case. Needless to say, this required some pretty heavy modification to the stock case. At first I was really unhappy about needing to do the mod, but along the way I found out that its really a lot of fun, and allows for a lot more creativity than a standard build. I'll post my first build log soon, just want to put the finishing touches on my first real mod.
Happy modding!:banana:

Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
Hello everyone I am new to the site and I LOVE it:D. Looks like a lot of very talented people are on here, this is a great place for inspiration. I am new to moding computer cases, but I have been fabricating parts for Paintball guns, nitro/electric RC Trucks, 4wheelers, off-road trucks, and even made a few parts for some choppers. I am very excited to start on one of my million ideas.

Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
Hey guys this is my first post here, but a long time website browser on these worklogs. My name is Josh I am 20years old. And I have been bulding computer since I was 16 and just started modding about few months ago. I got to school in Chicago and I am studying to be a programmer both for games and simulations.
I have a few worklogs on my main website.
Project Hell: This is my pride that I just finished. Not really a huge mod but its my main computer

Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
I'm new here too. I've only been modding for nine months, so I'm not that good yet.
I got my current computer case for free(found it next to a dumpster) and I adopted it. ^__^(don't know where the emoticon button is)
anyway, I have modded it a bit(addind a fan, side window(really bad side window, which I hope to replace), sleeving, cable management ect.), but I hope I can re-do it better in the future!

Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
Hey there guys! I am just about to start modding my first pc case, a mini project for my girlfriend to practice for bigger things. So I've joined this forum to ask some rookie questions and get some tips. Now I'm off to ask some painting questions.
See you around :)

Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
Hey guys,
Yep it's the new guy. I have never modded a computer before but always found it interesting. So I was browsing the web and found this site. Anyway I have a few ideas in mind, but hope to learn more about it before attempting anything. First idea is mainly because my friends say its a dumb idea and why even attempt it. My answer is "Because I can" So anyway enough ramblings for now.
Cheers,

Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
Hello, I am new to this forum so I thought I would say Hello. I have built several PCs and I rarely buy retail as I have certain requirements that are not fulfilled buying from a retail store. I recently put together a AMD based PC, my first, I usually build Intel. I came to this forum because I have a problem with my RaidMax case and want to add a mod which I have never done before. Maybe this will be my first of many mods as I find modding cases interesting, but I have never really had the time until now.
-
Re: TBCS New Members Introductory Thread
Lo all :) I thought I'd join the forums because I've been seeing some awesome case mods on here,one also inspired me to do my first mod, project: hourglass, (Blue-hellfire by Cobra)
I am in the planning stages of a new mod so I look forward to posting it on here.
Good day all :D
