longjohns · 07-24-2003, 05:39 PM

i put a black cd rom in my tan case. it looks HOTTTT ;-)

Pragma · 07-24-2003, 05:43 PM

If I had more money (or a PC really worthy of it), I'd put a window in the side of the case, maybe some blue neon lights, but beyond that, I'm not much for modded cases.

Yours looks about like what I'd like to do, though.

dj_simo · 07-24-2003, 05:43 PM

sounds good
this would be a bump

Pragma · 07-24-2003, 05:46 PM

No need to bump your post until it's four or five pages off the front. People get around to reading everything in time. Just for future notice.

bigdong31157 · 07-25-2003, 08:20 PM

It's a custom built "Johnson Case". No, Really it's a generic i picked up from newegg.com for $25.00. Turned out sweet though. me and my buddy did the mod plus relocated the switch.

dj_simo · 07-26-2003, 06:06 AM

dj_simo · 07-26-2003, 07:14 PM

dude - bigdong - do you have liquid cooling??

07-26-2003, 07:29 PM

Lighted fans, luminescent corded IDE cables, big-ass window, and a bright lighted power supply.

The Antec Lanboy is now my favorite case in the universe, BTW. Great case if you're going to be moving your PC from one place the other on a regular basis.

MSD · 07-26-2003, 09:54 PM

I run mine without the case on so my combination of a blazin' fast K6-2 and TNT2 card (runs at 156° wiht the case off, shuts down with it on.)

DEI37 · 07-27-2003, 08:19 AM

I've got a Pioneer DEH-P835R in my case. It's functional...kinda. It's got power, so the clock is there, but I haven't gotten around to making it pull in radio stations, and play computer sound, or CD's, either. I know how I'll do it, just just not done yet.

dj_simo · 08-01-2003, 09:17 AM

great work to all those modders who posted - plz post more
i just put in another cathode(blue) in last night and replaced a 120mm fan that busted - still needs more fans though

anybody have an suggestion on how to put in a second power supply

/\/\etalhea|) · 08-07-2003, 08:15 PM

I went with a glow-in-the-dark water cooling system and a "Biohazzard" theme.

Pretty sweet I should make my pc look neat!

propaganda · 08-07-2003, 09:45 PM

/\/\etalhea|) is that a radiator for the water cooling system of is it just an unnessecary fan?

Kyp · 08-07-2003, 10:03 PM

My case has an after-market side window. The rubber it came with to hold the window in place never held it there very well, so there is no longer any rubber at all. Just duct tape wrapped around it.

Computer itself is pretty shitty for now, until I'm able to upgrade (hopefully soon)

Currently:
AMD Duron 750 (First thing to get upgraded...)
384 MBs PC2100 RAM
RADEON 8500
30 GB Western Digital HD (Second thing to get upped...)

Had loads of cases including five Coolermasters and 3 lian-lis but decided the CM200 was where its at

oblar · 08-08-2003, 11:24 AM

I had a cheap case (10$) i decided to hack apart and have fun with. I ended up cutting a splash type window in the side. Painted it black with more blue splashes.

added 3-way switches to control all inside fans, and a switch to control a blue cathode inside. Looked alright but was so freaking loud because of the cheapness of the case I went back to my old nice case.

That's sweet! So do you pick up local radio stations with that too?

catback · 08-08-2003, 03:55 PM

I think when you get into modding a case you can truely call yourself a geek

propaganda · 08-08-2003, 06:13 PM

You might have just been a handyman without anything else to work on
