Just a pic of my new computer
 

Here it is:

here's one more:

Ok, last one, I thought it looked pretty sweet:

I just got a wave of envy across me then!

That looks simply amazing.

looks niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

That is too frickin' cool!

Very sweet setup

hmmmzzz.. i dont like acrylic, its so cheezy

The only thing bad about those cases is the fact that they take FOREVER to take apart and put back together. Taking out a hard drive can take 30 minutes, and putting in a video card can take well over an hour. The case isn't ATX -- it's simply 6 pieces of acrylic plastic held together with screws. Looks cool, but is a pain in the ass. My brother bought this case and used it for about 4 months before he switched back to another case. He couldn't take how long it took to take out parts. :)

Thanks for the replies and comments guys, I appreciate it. I agree with Lasareth about the time consuming part, but IMO, I think it just looks cool :)

as Bender would say.."You can see her circuits and everything!"
'tis a good day for perverted robots :lol:

oh yeah...some kick ass comp you got there buddy. :thumbsup:

yeah, more props to you. I had enough trouble getting a standard case put together...heheheh :)


looks great, though.

sigh.....desktop envy.
Laptops, portable, but just not very moddable.
(at least mine has a glowing display panel on the front. It's useless unless you use it for a cd player, which I don't, but still...it's blue...)
Beautiful case. kudos!

:lol: Funny you say that, my name's Bender. :D :lol:

I Posted pics because I bought it off of a friend of mine. Funny thing is, I helped him build it, and I don't even know all the specifics, so the computer guys are helping me out with pricing info :).

He's only had it a month, and is now selling it to me for a good (I think) price because he needs the $$$$.

I'd hate to see all the dust that accumulates inside over time...

maybe we could see pictures after 3 months, 6 months and a year to help with the feelings of low computer-esteem i now have ;)

mines a beige tower case with one drive bay empty and the lid not on properly...

Cool Case. what I think it needs is the flashing data lines just like the spark plug wires on a tricked out Harley....dude.

hmm..Impractical, as others have mentioned, but it still looks neat.

However, I suggest you get some cable-binders and neaten them up a bit ;)

I will once I take delivery :)


I saw it after one month, and yes you could see dust starting to accumulate :ugh: . PITA to clean, but still up there on the coolness factor.

This thread belongs here. I didn't see any discussion about the photographic qualities of the picture... just PC talk.

Very nice. Would look even sweeter with some round cables :)

First thing I thought of as well!

-Lasereth

If you want to know what the video card is just take a picture of it from the side with the fan. I'm pretty sure someone here can id it just by a picture.

I was about to suggest getting some rounded IDE/floppy cables for the same reason. They also help with air flow and keep things cooler. There are some pretty nice looking ones available that have glowing wire in them for a very cool effect.... especially if the HD LED is used to control the wire light.

TURN THE LIGHTS OUT and then let us see it, I myself am not a fan of the clear acrylic but would look cool with the lights off

5 80mm fans would make me go nuts! i imagine that thing sounds like a vacuum cleaner. i had 3 in my old case and i know it did. thank jebus for 120mm fans! but your case being acrylic i imagine it wouldnt be hard to mod for 120mm fans. but awesome looking setup anyways!

Yeah, I was thinking that when dust starts accumulating it won't be that pretty. But then again, you mentioned that your friend has had it for a while? Unless he vacuumed it or something that thing looks pretty clean.

very nice!
i built my friend a comp in the exact same case.
he uses it for DJ'ing and with all the lights it gets some attention.

I thought the same thing too.....round cables in a normal case that size are not needed...but when you have that much that can be seen...they kinda are needed.

very nice.

That is so freakin cool!

Do yourself a favor and get a really small and powerful handvac because you're going to need it

guys the dust isn't that bad. I had the same case going for about 4 months (until I couldn't take the "taking the entire case apart to add a device" shit anymore) and the dust was fine. Sure, it gets dust, but it's not a total abomination like you guys are making it out to be. besides, they make things for dust. it's called Cans of Air. works perfectly.

Thats a nice case.....but what happens when u wanna leave your comp on over night........Those lights look like they get annoying hahahaha

wow good job!

Nice work!!!

Imagine how cool it'll be when they make CD/DVD drives out of clear plastic. ;)

a company at directron sells CD-ROMs with clear face plates....the entire thing isn't clear, but the front is.....looks pretty badass

Needs more lights l0l

Nice case, same exact one I have actually. I also have all blue LED fans on mine. I bound all my cords though so its a bit cleaner in there. I also have a Thermaltake Volcano 9+ Heatsink and Fan which has red and blue LED lights on it. But basically identical to what you have there. On a side note, I have no idea what Lasereth is talking about for it taking an hour to put a video card in. I've swapped mine out repeatedly in less than a minute each time.

Hard-drives and anything that is placed up front does take a longer time though because you have to remove both sides of the case to put it in, and the motherboard is mounted to the side, so you have to remove all PCI/AGP cards you have installed in order to remove the one side. That's a pain in the ass, but the only pain in the ass. Cleaning this case is also very easy (for me at least) since I own an air compressor with the appropriate attachment so I just pop off the one side of the case and start blowing 180psi of air in there. Cleans it all out in a jiffy and its back to being squeaky clean.
