Moddifying My Dream Rig

That thing is ugly as fuck. Get a new case.

Why? It’s done me just fine for the last 15 years. And then I’d have to get new stickers! :frowning: And my friend did good work on those fans and the fan controller he designed. Why waste it? It just needs more paint!! Sadly, I have none. Also, it’d be a huge bitch to transplant all the hardware out into a new case.

I like how most of it has been top of the line for the past few months and barely went down in price not to mention, a more powerful card for less in my shopping cart.

Rossman, your photo-taking abilities are terrible! You have the blurriest PC ever!
GET A NEW PAIR OF HANDS!!

Also, Ahab DOES have a couple bright blue glowy parts (a fan, and the power supply), though it’s entirely by accident.

Happy?

No. Those fans would be such a distraction when the room is black.

They don’t distract me at all.

Some people suffer from tunnel vision, others enjoy it.

Also, do you just not know how to use your camera? It’s either blurry or focused on the wrong thing (your last picture apparently had all the attention put into the top edge and the slight bit next to the curtains that you could see the outside), and it has no white balance.

Also, guard parrots are VERY messy little buggers, and my camera is bigger.

Dude, I want one of them birds. I’ll die his feathers black though. Also, I don’t think they bother him cause he sits probably 30cm from the screen.

This is what a case should look like.

[Note the three 120mm fan ports at the top, I MIGHT line the top two long corners with two red LED pipes. Just for a red aura under my desk, and not a full on headlight in front of it.]

800D cough

:slight_smile:

I don’t want the window. Even though it’ll be an orgy inside, I just don’t know if I want that. 800D is also $60 more, over the 700D.

Hmmmm… You may have some style sense after all… (I thought you were going to get that huge weird-shaped case that was form-fitted to all the components)

However, you do not want a bird. Birds are terrible pets, and always make lots of loud noise and need boatloads of attention every day. And then they still may randomly decide they hate you. [color=red]Don’t get a bird EVER (unless it’s a pair of budgerigars, since they’ll mostly keep each other company).

Valid.

And yeah, that case is beautiful. Only thing I don’t like, is where the optic drives go. I wish there was a door for them. I managed to find an ASUS black CD drive that should mesh with the rest of the front nicely. If not, I’ll try and hide it somewhere inside the case.

What the? 15 years?
I just bought a case for my new build and am already contemplating on getting another.

Yeah that corsair case would look great in at night with no lights on…

if I would have enough money I would let me construct an case.

Anyone use IKEA for their desk?

I’d rather not. make your own? its not hard.

I used IKEA, it’s good enough.

Why do you like throwing money away?

And yes, it’s getting close to 15 years old. The Pentium II and “Made for Windows 95” stickers came with the original computer. I’ve never bothered, or NEEDED, to get a new case, since that one’s always been just fine. And since it’s old, it’s fine to modify it without being too neat or clean about it.

And my friend still did a good job on the modifications, why let it go to waste?

I don’t have the resources to do so. If I did, I would. But IKEA has some sexy stuff out there. And my current desk will not hold a full tower case no matter which way I put it and I know for a fact it will not be sitting on the carpet.
