Hi everyone. I'm Johan, a Swedish university student. I'm new to this forum, but not new to case building. I've also done a bit of overclocking.
My current project is almost finished - I've built a custom acrylic case (I'll post a few pics soon), and I have only the CPU and a case fan left to buy.
Alright, the nick's Nutman (real name: Mads Perschke) and I'm a danish modder.
Currently working on my 1st mod, which has been app. 1,5 years on its way now - due to some reeeeeaaaaaally bad planning and lots of changes during the process.
So, I apologize for the rather HUGE worklog I have posted here at TBCS (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/f...139#post257139) - it's absolutely ridiculous, but if you need something that's guaranteed to make you fall asleep, have a look!
Welcome
Nice worklog, nutman.
Hey everyone was looking for some modding advice and stumbled on this forum. Thanx for havin' me. I accept abuse and criticism well so feel free to :bash:

hello all.
just a customizing freak here from NY. my love for customizing started with automotive. i then realized what i could do with a PC and now here i am. i have done little case modding nothing to big, but i am planing a new build that will be 100% custom case. hopefully i dont ask to many questions and become annoying.
Welcome, to the TBCS forum.
If you take some time and browse the Modders Wiki, and
the Tips Tricks and Tutorials section you will find some useful modding information.
Simply take the time, and plan your modding project step by step.
Make exact measurements, and value your effort every step of the way.
That way, in the end you will appreciate the craftsmanship, creativity, and a job well done.
If you have any questions ask them in the Modding Q&A section or the Rookies Nook.

Building a mythTV system to replace a Tivo that our local Time Warner cable system has made useless by moving analog channels to their 'digital tier'.
I'm dropping cable TV completely, since I watch mostly PBS and C-SPAN anyway.
Starting with components purchased in 2008:
- Antec NSK2480 mATX case (looks nice):)
- (Antex 'earthpower' supply blew out first week):mad:
- AMD690GM-AM2 motherboard :)
- AMD 64x2 processor (dual-core, 512k L2 cache):glasses:
- ATI 3600-series PCI express video card [doesn't coexist with ATI motherboard card]:mad:
- Pinnacle HDTV PCI tuner card SHOULD work with Linux
- Antex VFD display (software works, but UI is poorly designed):(
Alternating between OS platforms:
Linux (Ubuntu 9, moving to a current Mythbuntu) :D
Windows XP SP3 (which broke two MIDI interface drivers when installed):mad:
Welcome Ralph. Where are ya in Ohio?
Hello all, been wandering around this wonderful site you guys have here. Lots of impressive work going on here.
Been building my own rigs for about 8 years now but have never tackled a custom/modded case. My current comp is just about at its end, so i figure the next one I build should get a custom case. So i plan on doing a one for my current rig for some practice, then doing something a little more complicated when I build my next one.
Well i still got a lot of material to cover before I start asking ?'s so ill be around L8R
