Was going through some old picture files and came across the first completed modded case I did. I say completed as my first modded case is sitting in the attic and never has had any hardware mounted. :O :sad2:

Mobo: Asus A7N266/PA/WOL w/ Tt BluOrb on NB
CPU: AMD 1900+ Palomino w/Modded Tt Volcano 7
PSU: Enermax 365-VEFCA
HDD: Maxtor 40Gig 740X-6L IDE
Mem: 1 x 512 Crucial PC2700 w/ Tt Heat Spreader
OS: M$ 98SE

Painted the chassis and the outside and had a local "T-Shirt" guy do the air brushing and named it after the wife favorite movie "Oz1"

Excuse the quality of the pix but these were shot with a camera using advantix film. Remember that?? :hair: Also the yellow line on the front was from not having the side panel "locked" in place.....it pays to look at what your shooting!

And Last but not least, my wife's fav character!

    VisionTech G3 Ti-200, then Ti-500 W/ Tt BluOrb & Sinks . ;D Also lengthened the wires on the 2 x Tt SmartFans (in & out) temp sensors to get them out into the case. On the HSF "milled" a slot in the sink and lengthened the senor wires so it was in contact with the sinks base.

    What was your first rig???

    First pc "mod" was a water cooling system, and cut some holes for some fans.

    I did some other stuff like a HL2 window

    work log I really need to take some new pics. CPU cooler is changed, vid card was changed then RMA, PSU bracket screw came out so it is zip tied. It really has turned ghetto from what it started, ghetto.

    My first project was cutting up an old AT 286 case to house a folding rig. This was way back in the day, when the Celeron 400 I put in the case was a significant addition to my folding arsenal! Somewhere, I've got some photos of it (as in the non-digital variety).

    My most ambitious project was watercooling IC11. Later, I fitted a bigger pump into a Zalman Reserator I was using in my main rig. I learned a lot from both, and one of these days, I'd like to have a go with watercooling a SFF rig (like Magic posted above).

    I wish I would have taken pics of my mods I have done.

    Did some GPU water cooling back on the 7900's along with case cooling mods. But I have my biggest mod to date in the works which is linked in my sig.

    First mod? Mounted an 80mm fan in the side of an Antech case and sprayed the case metallic purple.

    And overclocked my Duron 800 to 1Ghz on the same machine.

    Not much of a mod but it was my mod.

    Does that count? ;)
