GUNNER Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 So does anyone here do any case mods? I was thinking about adding a fan to my door on my new Cheiftec to blow across my vid card. It looks fairly easy as long as you take your time and not rush it. I would also like to get a sweet little fan grill. maybe something like this.http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/52/214.htm?955 or one of these http://www.plycon.com/custgrill.htm Anyone?.......
Millions o' Monkeys Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 i would do more, but i dont have the money
acdcfanbill Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 i also am broke, but seeing that the side of my case is rarely on even to begin with, i doubt a fan would help cool it that much... my roomate is full of hot air, so he creates quite a wind across the board...
GUNNER Posted March 15, 2002 Author Posted March 15, 2002 I ordered a 120mm fan, a grill with an atomic sign ( in red) and a red mesh grill.. I just hope everything goes ok with the hacking.
Kurgan Posted March 15, 2002 Posted March 15, 2002 Just do this: take off the sides, and put a big box fan a few inches from the case, turned on max.
acdcfanbill Posted March 15, 2002 Posted March 15, 2002 thats my plan kurgan, just as soon as i can afford a big fan:D anyway, some of the stuff on 2cooltek is just plan silly, and looks fun... axe's and shotguns and whatnot...
GUNNER Posted March 16, 2002 Author Posted March 16, 2002 When I used to O/C the wifes eleron 466 I had the side off and an 8 inch oscilating fan blowing over it.. It was ghetto.. I showed the wife my fan and grill and what not I ordered and what it wil look like and when she saw some pictures of some cases with plexiglass windows she asked me why I just don't do that and then put a fan in the window.... And here I was thinking she was going to call me a retard for cutting it up to put in a fan. Better go order me some window kits.....
[sico] Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 *warning big pic* this is my case with a few (alot) of mods
digl Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 cool case Anyone remembers that thread with a link to some really amazing cases? I'm not sure it was posted on this forums I think the pics were from Quakecon
Roger Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 Nice case, did you do it yourself? Wow, that sure look perfect! Must be a lot of noise though
Guest Krayt Tion Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 A chance to show off a nice case is always a good excuse to start postin. Welcome to the forums. You did a nice job, btw. Expensive to mod a Lian-Li, but at least you didn't use a cooler master. Baybus, too. And I assume you stealthed a few of those drives. I don't overclock, so I don't think I'll ever have much use for a Baybus or something of that sort. But I suppose case modding is often about asthetics, not just performance. I wouldn't mind a nice window and some cold cathodes in up in my PC, but I'd rather put the money into performance, since I am short on dough.
[sico] Posted March 17, 2002 Posted March 17, 2002 yeah the case itself cost me $500 without the addons and the fans are pretty quiet because i have full control of the speed of them and so forth
Broode Posted March 17, 2002 Posted March 17, 2002 Wow... Hey, do you have any CD drives on that thing?
