case modding

[thechamp]

hi guys
how many of u r interested in case modding
have already done it or r planing to do it in ongoing summer vaccations
as many on us r from middle class families so obiously we dont have enough money left for good cabinets(LANBOY etc)
so only option left is to buy a decent looking cheap cabinet and to mod it so at least it stands away from crowd

well i have a black cabinet from navtech

http://www.navtech.org/2688.html

well performance wise it its a excellent one
with its four 80 MM fans and my Ultra Vortex from Cooler master

http://www.coolermaster.com/index.php?LT=english&Language_s=2&url_place=product&p_serial=KCC-V91&other_title=+KCC-V91+Ultra%20Vortex

my CPU temp never excedds 50'C and my system temp is also within 42'c

but the only thing lacking is good looks
so i have decided to mod it so it can make it look a bit different

well for the starting i have planed to cat side panel and fix a acryl sheet into it to make it transparent
so people can peek into mt 6600GT and ultra voetex

so let this tread be a common place where we can discuss all our modding tips and views
if any one has already modded his case
please post pics along with whole procedure

and also all people from delhi
please mention if u know someone who do Case modding and few shops from where i can find fancy lighls Etc

c'mon let the modding begin

Loads of light .. preferably LED's .... cut off the side panel .... put on an acryic sheet ... cut out places for fans according to ur need .... buy some led fans ... and then ur on a way to a make a cabinet starting to look good ...

And what CPU do u have ?? coz my processor barely touches 47c .. with the stock cooling ... !!! ur ultra vortex is not doing very good then ...

my processor is AMD Athlon 3200+
well in roasting heat of New delhi
In my top floor apartment withouc AC some times my rrom temp crosses 45'c :(
and all the overclocking which i do, i think ultra vortex is doing a great jod in keeping my cpu temp below 50
any way we r here to discuss case modding

c'mon guys post pics of ur cases
