    Default No idea

    I decided to head down to my local PC shop. I had money burning a hole in my wallet and I thought there was a good place to spend it.
    I went down with no real plan, just have a look and see what grabs my attention.

    Well for not good reason other than it was on sale I bought this:





    A nice looking iCute case with a bloody big fan in the side.
    It also has drive bays from top to bottom which will make it easy to play with.
    The front drive bay covers are all mesh with a sponge filter and there is a 120mm fan mounted in the drive bays that can be positioned where ever is needed.
    4 USB ports in the front too.
    Did I mention it has a bloody big fan in the side?

    So now I need to mod it. I've been looking around here and other sites trying to get some inspiration.

    Hence the project name of "No Idea".
    I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, I have no idea why I actually bought it (other than being on sale, and did I mention the bloody big fan?)

    Rest assured, it will be modded though!

    Things that I will do for sure:
    Paint the inside.
    Hide as many wires as is humanly possible.
    Procrastinate.
    Mention the bloody big fan!

    Cool looking case, looks like you could have some fun with it!

    I could see that case being a dark blood red with some nice heavy metal flake. ^_^
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    lol nice, at first I was like, YOU JERK! Then I read the /pun part. ^_^

    Have you tried that fan out yet Bucko? I wonder if it's a silent or a loud fan? Well, whatever it is, I'm sure it does suck! :p

    I haven't tried it out yet. However I have attacked a Pentium III motherboard with pliers and a screwdriver for this mod...

    Stay tuned.

    One stripped to bare bones P3 board:



    I could give all a hint on what I'll do with it, but I'd rather you have "No Idea".

    Damn, that's one big bloody fan...what's the dimensions on that beast?

    And where can I get one?

    Cause I've got this plan that I've been hinting at in some of my posts you see...

    +rep for the find!

    -Edit: Perhaps you should paint the blades blood red?

    It's a 200 or 220mm fan (I forget which and my tape measure is outside).

    edit: It's a 220mm fan.
