TBCS New Members Introductory Thread

[aeidau]

I'm Kieran, from Australia

I thought it was about time I actually joined this place after lurking here for a few years. and I've been around a bit at Red Raider Tech and The Mod Brothers.
Hopefully I might get a project going soon depending on funding and free time as I'm currently studying industrial design.

Cheers, Kieran

I'm actually surprised I'm a new member here. I was modding back in 2002 and for the next few years I thought I had joined just about every case mod forum in the world. Maybe not.

After a heart attack and the discovery of lung disease in 2005, I was unable to continue doing what I enjoyed so much. I built what I thought was going to be my last system and hung up my Dremel. It was the worst mod I ever did - no paint, no patience. I feel very fortunate that it died before me.

Now I have to build another new system. I'm using a new laptop (HP Pavilion), but I prefer a desktop PC. I have a small apartment now and a smallish desk, so I thought a SFF machine might be just the thing. I can't do much modding to it (nothing that would require a respirator or that creates inordinate amounts of dust, any smoke or fumes), but I think I can do enough to satisfy my longing to mod again.

Most of the forums I was active on in the first half of this decade are either gone (like my own TheMadModder.com) or closer to death than I am (it's okay, I don't mind joking about it - I'm a realist). Some are inappropriate for this project and some I just don't like anymore.

I recognize several names from back in the day, so I have a good feeling about this. I hope you guys can put up with a grumpy old guy - even older now than I was then, but maybe a little less grumpy. I came to mod, with a little help and guidance from you people.

Hey Everybody!

Although I've been building and toying around with computers for a long time now, I just recently got into case modding. It was mainly out of necessity, as I wanted to do a system build that needed to shoehorn a lot of big components into a reasonably small case. Needless to say, this required some pretty heavy modification to the stock case. At first I was really unhappy about needing to do the mod, but along the way I found out that its really a lot of fun, and allows for a lot more creativity than a standard build. I'll post my first build log soon, just want to put the finishing touches on my first real mod.

Happy modding!

Hello everyone I am new to the site and I LOVE it. Looks like a lot of very talented people are on here, this is a great place for inspiration. I am new to moding computer cases, but I have been fabricating parts for Paintball guns, nitro/electric RC Trucks, 4wheelers, off-road trucks, and even made a few parts for some choppers. I am very excited to start on one of my million ideas.
