Hey guys. I built my first computer back in Nov. of '06. Pretty much stock. Now, I'm looking for that "Wow" factor.
Hello Everybody! A Facebook friend of mine pointed me to this site when I was working on my newest build, and I'm impressed with the depth of knowledge & quality of work in the mods I've seen here.
I've been building PC's for about 6 years, but I've really gotten into modding in the past year or so. Got some ideas floating around in my head, others sketched out, & one or two I'm working on that I hope to post up here someday. (Speaking of which, would anyone be interested in a tractor-themed mod? Having grown up on a farm, I'm thinking of something in John Deere (TM) Green...)
Anyhow, glad to be here & for any help I can give or any I receive.
Hey welcome DynamoNED, Kursch1672, and AmEv! There's a good "Ideas" section if any of you are looking for input before starting something. We all love to help.
"Hello, world!"
I've been interested in computers since I was eight-yrs.-old. Now that I'm heading to my junior year in high-school, I've stopped and wondered what I would be doing after graduation. I'm always tinkering with my family's hardware and I'm already in the middle of my first case-mod; given these points to look at, I thought maybe opening up a boutique (replace with manlier word) / brick-and-mortar / studio revolving around PCs in my hometown.
I know that I'm getting into this really early, yet would still appreciate any advice. Your guys' mods are better than most others (and DEFINITELY beet the standard cases used on retail PCs.) I'd be lucky if my mod turns out nearly as awesome as some of your basics. Here's to hoping.
Hi TBCS'ers,
I am trying to start a computer company in differant areas. Any tips would be nice.

Hey TBCS people. I've been building computers since 2003. I have followed TBCS on facebook for some time now but just got around to registering here. My computer is a bit outdated being an AM2, but I am holding off on upgrading because I'm joining the Air Force. I will be counting on the staff at TBCS to keep me up to date on the newest and best hardware so I can build the best PC for me upon completion of my 2 years of Special Ops training. Glad to be a part of your great site!
Hello
I'm that into modding myself but i like to see what others do and maby someday i will make my own pc-mod. Im generaly fascinated by computers and i like playing games on them. Hope to see you all around in the forums! :)
Hi guys myself Prathamesh im frm India, i joined dis community to get sum ideas n knowledge to mod my pc TY guys!!TBCS rocks!! :D
Hi,
i want to build myself an Mass Storage/HHD Data Server Thingy and was searching for inspiration.
I actually found it here a year ago but i dont seem to be able to find it again, another member here build a Tower System with lots and lots of HDDs separated from the rest of the hardware.
Anybody knows the mod im talking about ?
Sry for my bad english im german.
Hi my Name is George.
I am a Casemodder from Germany. I have been reading along here for a while.
I just registered to wish you all a Merry Christmas!
So long :0)
yea well hey everyone!:)
I was google:ing some pics of the Dark portal in wow and saw an awsome front case built as a portal guard. And so it was that I became a member of TBCS=)
I'm no computer-all knowing person but I'm eager to learn=) And on the go witness some of the awsome modds created by human beings^^
At the moment I'm just at the planing/painting stage of my creation, The dark portal (In wood), but I recon it's gonna be good=) And if not, maybe someone will be inspired to do an even better version=)
Thanks;)
Welcome Ignition!
As requested, an intro:
My primary interest is quiet air cooling, and taking advantage of consumer-grade quality and priced parts when possible. To give you an idea where I'm coming from, my gaming machine recently moved from a CM 590 into a HAF 922 for the 200mm fans; it's hard for 140mm Yate Loons to compete. The 922 was cheaper than a couple of Noctua fans. On the other hand, the Sonata cases work pretty well for me for lower performance systems if I'm careful what I put in them. So I have low-brow tastes.
I overvolt dual video cards, which creates a lot of heat. To keep them quiet, I use aftermarket heatsinks (which then use larger diameter fans, directly or indirectly.) With multiple heat sources with different dynamic cooling needs, the easy answer is "turn on all the fans" which works but is loud. And wrong, since the side fan probably needs to be running lower than the top fan, and so on. I can attempt this with a manual fan controller; without good logging I'll never really know anyway.
I doubt I'll paint a single thing, and the pinnacle of aesthetics for me is hiding cables and clipping out LEDs. So why am I here? I decided embedded controllers are probably part of the solution and the micro forum here is one of the few places I've found talking about doing the kinds of things I want at the hobby level.
In particular, I'd really like to see the Arduino grow a set of common PC management tools and recipes so other people can put together the parts without figuring out how to, for example, combine fan speed control with RPM monitoring. I expected this to exist, but a lot of solutions won't work together, or have unacceptable problems like audible PWM noise when used with quiet PC fans.
Hello everyone this is Malcolm here i am new to the forum i hope all the senior members should help me about forum posting.
Thanks
Hi all, been viewing this site for a while and figured I should sign up now that I'm cutting holes in my case
Hey guys,
Just signed up today. I was given a Dell Dimension 2400 for free so I feel the need for some mods ;) A little background on me, I build custom cars at our family shop, and am slowly learning how to paint cars. I'm also a highly skilled fabricator be it wood, steel or AL.
Im looking forward to modding my first computer and learning as much as I can from the experienced members.

Hello all, first post - new member.
I joined because I have -for some time now been watching all the mods in here and there are all (most ) (: very innovative and full off insperation for me :D
I'm not that much in to the extreme modding, but I really like a tidy and stylish case. So I use alot of time cable managing :P
So tell me, would a non-modded Antec P183 be welcome in this forum?
By non-modded, I mean no cuts and/or reingenering of the case.
But I will promise you all . . . when my parts are ordered, I will upload a nice, tidy and eye-catching setup.
Thank you, and good day to you all.
welcome! :D
thanks guys. i have been doing computers for some time and have a problem that reall needs some help on.
Hi All,
My name is ASPHIAX and I live in the Netherlands. Have been building PC's for years now and just a couple of months I ventured into watercooling. I AM TOTALLY ADDICTED NOW!!! My first case was a dragonlord K62 with a XSPC 750Kit and additional rad and some fans. Good Fun! But it soon wasnt enough and I found myself powertooling my case and bending PLEXI-Glas with my wife's hairdryer. :D
I will post some pics of the dragonlord later, it is just a nice complete pc.
My new project is much , much (MUCH!!) bigger in more then one way. I want to post some pics but I'm going to wait a little longer to give a better idea of what I am trying to do. Extreme credits to the people that have some of the most wildest and beautifull cases already on this forum!
Thanks and I will see you around !
ASPHIAX
i didn't notice this thread when i signed up teh otehr day.
anyway, i've been building custom pcs for (modded if you will) for about 10 years now. my first was a proxy server utilizing 3 motherboards. each running an amd k-6 450mhz processor. yeah i know, that's painfully slow by today's standards.
anyway, i posted up in the "your mods" section an ibm 5150 that i had stuffed modern componentry into. i also have a dead power supply that has a nice extruded aluminum case and an acrylic cover. if i could just fins mobo small enough taht i could afford, i'd start a worklog on building that thing.
so far this place looks like it has a lot of helpful people and oodles of ideas.
catch you all around,
ian
ZOMG I MADE A SIGNATURE!!!!

Welcome to the jungle fellas!
Hi all, I'm a regular at MI but wanted to come join forces with TBCS, I don't have any current projects but hopefully by spring i'll have something ready to go.
One thing I've been really interested in is PCB's and how to get started, I've always wondered how things work and i'm willing and wanting to learn, can anyone point me in the right direction? I have a general idea on the basics but could really use some good work logs that describe how to make things work.
Anyways I'm new NooB here but can't wait to jump into the forums.
Hey Kordova! We have a section called called MicroCentral that has had a few conversations about custom PCB's. Jump in there we have several members that can probably point you in the right direction. Welcome to TBCS.
Welcome to TBCS Guys! Kordova, definitely check out the MicroCenteral section. There are several of us there who can help you out!
