Starting Modding.
Howdy, just getting into the modding scene and wanted to get some opinions on my case and what I could do to it to make it original and sweet.
Specs:
Asus A8N-SLI MoBo
AMD Opteron 165 overclocked from 1.8ghz to 2.4ghz
GeForce 7800gtx overclocked
Hiper 580w Type-R PSU
4x512 Kingston RAM
2 Western Digital HD's (200gb) (50gb)
I might paint the inside black or blue and paint the outside in some ancient alien pattern or something.
Comments are appreciated.

Re: Starting Modding.
Painting the inside is a good idea, it makes for a very nice look. Also, do you already know what you kinda want the outside to look like, the pattern I mean? Like crop-circle type things?
Anyways, yeah, painting the inside would be good.

Hmm... nice rig :) what could you do to it?:? well...
..when i looked at your case i automatically thougth of a window etch ..don't know why..
..painting the inside/ouside is a very good idea..
..hiding the wires a bit more..
(these are the easy things)
..more customized cooling?.. like change everything and modd that too :).. i'm thinking a combination of copper, aluminum, heatpipes, silent fans, paint and acrylic.. to make everything work better and look better :)
..do something to the front panel?.. some holes? modeling? acrylic work? mesh? intakes? i like the alien theme idea.. could be brilliant..
..hmm.. guess i should go back to modding my case.. i might have some withdrawal issues :p

Re: Starting Modding.
HD's mounted backward and IDE's taken out.
And the PSU is doing great so far (fairly new), theres also a black version.
I'm 15 btw, so sometimes its abit hard getting hold of stuff like UV paint, lights etc.
I'll definately be painting the inside, not sure if I should do it UV or just shiny black. I'll think about the outside aswell, oh and the mesh idea soudns good.

Re: Starting Modding.
I think you shouldn't paint it black, I think it'll make it one dark hole you look in... Instead maybe some kind of blue would be nice...

Re: Starting Modding.
I've a crazy idea.
Just for the way your case looks...paint the whole thing black. Then, open it up, and draw at every corner and edge, with a UV pen or some UV paint, lines. Then pop a UV cathode in there and watch it REALLY come to life. ;)
Oh, and welcome to the boards!
