TBCS New Members Introductory Thread

Hi everyone, I'm Nick, and I'm not an alcoholic.

I currently live in San Diego, and I'm an oil changer/tire boy at an evil auto shop we refer to as "hell" or "this darned place.) (edited for language).

I'm currently studying to get my A+ certification, so I can get out of the auto repair industry.

I found this site on google and have been lurking for awhile. Love the designs... Especially the Ferrari HTPC. That's dope.

Anyways, I got a huge older abit server case that can fit 6 hard drives and 5 5.25 drives, and what seems like 3 power supplies. I call it the monster. I'm wondering about what I can do to it. Reason for joining. I've always wanted to customize a case. I can build computers left and right, and troubleshoot them, but modifying cases is beyond my expertise... Until now.

Great forum guys lookin forward to seein more awesome builds. (like the vodka bottle coolant rez, that was insanely awesome.).

Easy.
3 Seperate computer systems, for different purposes (e.g. surfing the web, gaming, and something else you can think of on your own, guest pc maybe?)

Watercool each one with a seperate loop and color scheme, and make switching between them a peace of cake! (e.g. 3 way toggle switch, or something :D)

And then of course make some cool case design mods, because this threesome pc would be awesome, and must look awesome!

Good luck! :D

Lol no prob, let us know if you need any more help for ideas, there's a ton of us running around like mice here, I'm sure together we can come up with a decent idea or two :D

Long time lurked finally decided to join.

Will start up a thread on my htpc/nas when parts come in over the next few weeks.
When I get around to it I will pull my arcade machine/jukebox out and finish it as well as take pic of my current mild modded case that is going in the arcade machine.
Need to disemble clean and finish a part of the case mod first.

Although soon will have time as full time work let's up next week for me.


Look forward to being around the forum.

hi every body it is my first post

Hello there, TBCS.

I'm a computer enthusiast who got into building PCs about four years ago. I haven't built anything that was particularly fancy, just air cooled rigs in regular cases without much else to them. Over the past few months, however, I've been itching to do something a bit more involved and creative than that. Hopefully soon I'll have some absolutely amazing (or at least reasonably acceptable) case mod project to showcase.

Welcome all! Nice to see new faces. Dive right in and support you fellow modders! Make a mod of your own (however bad or good you think it is) and post it.

Hi guys, i joined TBCS because i want to learn from the awesome mods that are posted here an i hope to make my own one soon.

Thanks.

First time on TBCS. Looks like some good stuff on here. Been using [H] for a while and need to expand my resources for modding.

Catch you in the work logs.
