Thread: Project: Doublewide (first mod)

    Default Project: Doublewide (first mod)

    This is the subject of my first case mod and first mod project. The case is a SuperMicro SC830 that I picked up at the local recycle center for $10. I added the window yesterday, I am using window spline for the c-channel until I purchase some purpose made c-channel. I am planning on painting the case and adding casters within the next month. I will also be replacing the ancient hardware with something more modern. Any comments or ideas are welcome.

    Nice case - lots of options with that one - not quite as large as the Lian Li I have but having spent what I did on it, I'm terrified of going anywhere near it with a power tool lol

    Looks interesting; lots of potential in that case. Can we get some pics of the interior?

    Haha, yeah, I had the same problem with my Antec P180 when I had it.

    I still have that problem - the Antec P180, and the Lian-Li 343 - both utterly stock as yet

    That is the nice thing about picking up used cases from the recycle center. Since I only have $10 to $15 in each case, there are no worries about hacking into them. I have another file server chassis (Enlight 8960) here that I may mod later on. That is also the reason that I'm not going to window mod the top of the chassis, since I may decide to stack them if the Enlight ever needs to come out of the rack.

    x88x had asked for some pictures of the inside, so here they are.













    Here are the other computers that I may be making some mods to in the future.



    If anyone has any SuperMicro drive rails send me a PM.
