cool :) thanks for the info and the links :D that is exactly why I wanted to try and find out the info by asking around here. that should significantly reduce the cost of the case since I wouldn't have to buy the extra metals to shield the interiors for this purposes.Quote:

Hi all I've visited TBCS before to kill some time by gawping at some of the wesome projects that seem to be always on the go here but I've not seen the need to join until now...
About a year ago, just before the release of 'Pirates of the Burning Sea' I came up with a water cooled case mod concept on a theme that would perfectly complement said game. Unfortunately no ssoner had the idea made its way into a basic .bmp file I moved house to start a family and things have kind of spiralled from there (don't even own the game let alone have the mod done!)
Recently though I was inspired anew, most likely by some of the mods here, I recall spending a lot of time ogling te Temple of Nod case! So a month or so down the line I find myself with 90% of the materials I'm going to need, a working mockup of the system it'll be running and several more uber-basic .bmp images and I feel like it's time to dip into the community for some help and advice. This is an absolutely £0 budget scratch-build so I'm doing well to have got this far but I'm convinced I'm going to need a lot more than keen eyes for alvage to get me through the main body of the build itself!
So anyway this is my greetings post (modest aint it!) andnow I'm off to open a mod in progress thread, look for it under 'Swashbuckled' if you want to get involved, help me out or are just curious! Also I apologise in advance for all of the crapp spelling mistakes etc. I'm going to end up posting it's my keyboard's fault!!!
Hello all. I'm brand new to TBCS and the computer building/modding world, and i can't wait to get my hands dirty and create something. :up:
Welcome. It's always good to see more new mods, especially if they get finished.
hi every one. i stumbled on this site looking for ways to mod a PC. found an awesome PSU mod of a C&C3 GDI power plant. and figured maybe this site would be a great place to launch and get help with some modding.
Hello guys and now officially a member of TBCS, thanks for the opportunity!!!
In case you don't know am a case modder so let post some of my work over here... :D
Welcome aboard. I'm happy you got your registration email!
Hello, my name is Dagen and i have been in the PC repair and networking business for 15+ years now. I started modding with my first computer when i had to build something to mount my very first computer on. No case, just built brackets out of an old wood desk. I am learning alot from tis site so far and as i start to get some real projects underway ill postthem here.
Hey, everyone. I'm completely new to electronics. I'm electronically/mechanically inclined but have never finished a complete project of my own. I am looking for some guidance because I know what the end result is that I want but have no clue on how to wire the project.
I want to make a glass/canvas project with multiple LEDs behind it to illuminate it. I also want it to be powered by a battery pack. So the easiest way I can describe it is a string of LED Christmas lights powered by batteries. The project will be hung on the wall. That is why I would rather have it powered by batteries with an on/off switch either on the side, bottom or behind it.
I would also like the plug-in version if someone could help me with that.
BTW, I would appreciate LOTS of details. VERY new to electronics world but also VERY excited to learn. I look forward to receiving some help and thank everyone in advance.
Hello. My name is John Hanlon and I come from Colorado and Bit-Tech.net ( jhanlon303). I have done several mods in the past 10 years- 3 of which were nominated for MOTM on BT. I just won MOTM for November and I'm here looking for something for my next mod. I don't know what yet but there is some very nice mods here and some interesting links.
It is nice to see some old familiar logins here.

Welcome to TBCS.
Greetings all. I am known as Keryian. I found this sight one day kinda by
accident and have been coming back regularly ever since. All I can say is WOW!
I never knew so much knowledge, beauty, inspiration, and camaraderie could
exist in one place. This is awesome. I am not new to computers but I am new to
modding so thanks in advance as I know now that I have started to post I will
do it a lot more. Just happy to be amongst such a great peer group.
To the Future,
Keryian
Welcome to TBCS Keryian! Glad to hear your enthusiasm!

Obviously, I am new to the site. I was inspired by all the great work that has been done on these mods. I have never modded a computer box, but I plan on it in the next several days or so. I am still getting ideas and guides gathered together. :)
*crosses fingers*
Hello Everyone,
Just a quick note to say love the site. I've been visiting for a while. I am just getting into the whole modding thing. Just starting a mod of my own (first). Keep up the Modding and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

Hey The Name is DarkScorpion, I have lots of ideas but don't have the space to build them in, when i do get space then i will be posting logs, other than that i will be looking around and getting ideas for other mods.
DS
Well, just like the tons before me, I am new to TBCS.
A little background:
I started working on computers when I was about 10, and instantly fell in love with how they work and all the components involved in them. Fast forward 10-years, and I still love absolutely everything about them. I have recently discovered case modding, and am working on my first project. Nothing major, just a new paint scheme and cable routing etc, but look forward to working on bigger projects in the future.
I work for an industrial computer company which is really cool because we get all the latest and greatest components before they are released to the general public.
Lookin forward to learning as much as I can here.
Josh.
Well it's about time I actually posted here. I've been lurking for about a year. I am simply amazed at the talent that has gone into alot of mods on here. I've been around computers since... well lets just say I remember my vic 20 with b/w 7" tv and cassette drive :eek:. I'm not good with programming at all, but the hardware is more my speed. The system I'm currently using is a bone stock HP . Boss (wife) won't let me "fix" it til it breaks :no:. Most reliable box I've ever owned :suspicious:. I have one casemod that will get posted when I can find the pic/specs for it named CheapSK8. I built it when I was laidoff last year so no money went into it. Currently laid off again with too many projects around the house to finish before I even think about starting another one. Not that it keeps me from getting ideas, especially after looking at what others on here are doing. I just keep looking at other thing that can be done using ideas from here. Well I believe I've rambled on enough for now.
Welcome to TBCS to all of you!
Welcome to your new home!
I kicked the door for this forums down and some how skipped this thread along the way.
Howdy!
Hey everyone! i'm addicted to TBCS i try to check every week for new posts and mods to follow! I'm an IT pro during the day and a graphic designer by night, i don't mod pc cases much but i have done an XBOX360 controller mod, just a momentary switch wired to the right trigger for rapid fire in games like call of duty4 and halo3!
i really want to learn techniques so i can start modding like a pro!
edit ** if anyone needs any graphics designed for printing (decals, text for cases or whatever) let me know!
welcome :)
Hello everyone i was working on a minor case mod but i didn't have anywhere i could get help or see what other people did that's why I'm here :D soo... Hi Everybody
Hello all! I've joined the ranks of case modding finally. I've been building custom systems for years, but now want to start with a case. What case may you ask..and Ultra Microfly! As of right now, the mod is nothing serious (gotta start small). I want to start off by watercooling this rig, then from there, well, we shall see. I want to build a nice elegant lan box that packs a huge punch. I've always loved watercooling, so Figured Id give that a try with this one! Anyone else watercool a microfly?
Welcome to TBCS everybody, we are stoked to have new folks here with fresh, new ideas!
Jon
Thanks!
Hi all, i'm going to be starting up a mod here in the next month or so ;)
Im awaiting to see some fresh blood in the modding arena!Quote:

Who said that!!!!!!
Hello im mods-middle-name, ive been a lurker for the past few months and decided it was time to sing up, i have many idea's just lack the know how and cash.
well I'm am pcclan the same name as my and 985323 company that we'll have up and running in a few months
Hey up! I've joined in hope that I'll be able to get help with making my first mod and keep a blog of it. Thought I should do so while I have a job and some money for it. Im into medium range gaming and constantly filling my computer with useless junk. When I say medium range gaming I've got a 2.5 Dual core, 8500GT card & 2GB valueRAM. Nothing special but it runs UT3 smoothly.
Im hoping to be able to buy a case that I can modify to basically be a UT3 billboard lol. Black and bloodsplattered with a window. Sounds simple to you guys sounds like a mammoth task to me.
Look forward to speaking to you guys!
Greetings all :D
visited this place many times over a few years and been well impressed with many pieces and over the past year been really getting in to modding, started with simple blowholes, then detailed windows, and now what has to be the ultimate in modding being fabrication, have made 2 chassis from sheet alluminium and seem to be getting better with each one and enjoy it quite a lot, i have learned quite a bit from peoples worklogs here and there is always new things to learn, i did not do a work log of my 1st but started my worklog half way through my latest, and am planning on doing another soon, i'll post pics in a bit:banana:
Hi folks,
I'm a semi-pro electronic music producer and label owner, dabbling in the arts of modding and generally being geeky. Avid gamer, I'm looking at continuing to improve and personalise my system and on here is brimming with useful tips so, well you see where I'm going.
That enough info? Right, now to annoy folk with LCD questions. ;)
Hi i would like to introduce myself Tory, i recently stumbled upon this forum while looking for some painting guides. The reason i choose to stay is because a nice hobby for me is model building and have started painting cases although i havent painted actual pc's just old gaming systems and an x-box 360 just now, i have an old pc and a red light xbox 360 so im hoping to use these materials at my advantage by practicing on them with case modding, then if i can, to actual hardware inside of it. I can understand how these things can get expensive but i like to keep my hobbies cheap! Im still only 15 so i still have school to do but i imagine a lot of people here do as well.
Hope i get along with the members of TBCS!,
Tory
A surprising number of us here are around your age and most of us have school and/or jobs. It is possible to mod without spending a lot; it just depends on what you want to do. You should post some pics of your work here.Quote:
