    I'm awaiting use of my freind's digital camera, so in the meatime I'll have to explain my mods.

    I've got 4 Antec blue LED fans for intake/exhaust, an Antec blue LED on my Alpha PAL 8045, silver braided rounded cables, a full-size window cutout with a custom decal that reads ÜberBlue with an AXP logo underneath.

    I changed the green power and HD LEDs on the front to blue, and would like to replace the CD-RW and DVD LEDs too.

    The big bummer is that the case is beige, not blue.

    I was going for a classy look to this mod... although nothing looks too classy in that craphole of a bedroom I've got. It's a Chieftec Mini-Mid tower with two 80MM LED fans in front, power and HDD LEDs changed to blue, and stealthed CD-RW drive. I also have the custom case badges my friends and I had made for Nexlia.com, our website, on the front. I've got a few more subtle mods on the way including front USB 2.0 ports, maybe a front firewire also, cut into one of the 3.5" floppy covers.

    My current mod will be figuring out how to remove and replace the top case fan in my Lian-Li PC60+USB case since that fan is dying.

    Not so much a mod as a serious lack of a budget, and thus, a case. Let me tell you, for $10 total, its definatly ghetto.

    Is that your main rig? You better not bump your desk to hard, if so, your whole rig is coming to the ground. Better get to saving some money bud.

    She is not done yet. I have to drill some holes for 2 40mm fans and then put it all together and make sure she is stable, PSU wise.

    Consider the pic a teaser. An article should be out before the month is over, I will be moving to college in a month.

    Its a cheap Enermax case but it has plenty of fan holes! I yanked out the front USB and audio, the door in front of them, then hacked out the case with a kitchen knife. Mark of a folder? It didn't get turned off during surgery or for its portrait. :thumbsup:

    Yeah, thats not my main system, thats a quality pentium pro 200Mhz system pull that lost its case to something more worthwhile. I'd like to say that i have the motherboard actually mounted to that board...but its just sitting there.

    Doesn't your hard drive and optical drive rattle or something?

    Well, no. They arent exactly high speed components, so that may be why they dont. At least the board isnt warped. Actually, I removed the CDROM drive and put it in another system...and the floppy.

    Well, i think the ghettoness could be improved by duct taping the components on the board and mounting it vertically, but thats a little risky.

    Wouldn't it be funny if a house fly landed on your hs fan and got cut up? hehe I just thought about that. And yes, the ghettoness could be upped a level, but it looks plenty ghetto for me.

    Thats pretty close to where the expression "bug" actually originated from actually...

    Here is something you don't see on Compaqs. Extra fans! It's my brother's Compaq that I modded for some more air flow in its cramped case. The cables are wrapped with electrical tape, zip tied to the PSU, folded IDE cables, CoolerMaster HSF (I killed the OEM one with canned air :eek: ), one fan on the rear, sticking out; and one beside the PSU blowing air to the HSF.

    Here is my own. It's nothing spectacular. No windows and glowing LED fans. Just some low budget mods. I made 2 blowholes (side and top), enlarged the front intake, removed the stamped grill from the PSU, front intake, and rear exhaust. Homemade fanbus, folded IDE cables, and electrical tape wrapped cables zip tied along the case. It probably only cost me $30CDN.

    Nice! Was wondering what that black contraption was on the bottom inside there!

    Methinks your fingers would beneift from some kind of grill on those fans. :D And yeah, whats that black thing?

    The black thing on the bottom of my case is my homemade fanbus. As for grills at the back of my case, nah. No one is going to go to the back of my case except for me.

    Very nice! I was going to watercool this beast but decided against it as I have limited case space; I don't have anything fancy on the inside either as no one gets to see it unless I post pics.... :)
