alright so i did a little project on my old case came out pretty nice for my first mod. I dont have any parts in the pc yet but i will be getting some soon.
I didnt want to hotwire the psu so i putted in a old P3 mobo in there.
Please dont complain about the wires. Tell me what you thing about it.

Reminds me of DOTBT by Grez.

looks cool, but then again, my first project isnt for another few months (yay for christmas, always a few extra bucks from my extended family)

DJ-Nokey · 10-16-2006, 06:06 PM

wolan9004 · 10-16-2006, 06:07 PM

i know i was inspired by Grezes BLUE NINJA TURTLES so i tought i will do something like his pc for myself . i will also buy the parts around christmas time they gonna drop alot by then. I will fix the parts when i get all my hardware.

Well, dang dude! Thanks for the compliment...I have to say, this is really nice for a first build! I especially like the casters on the bottom so that you can roll it around...mods that look good and are practical too are killer.

One question I have for you, though...what's the bendy tube for that's coming from your intake fan in front? It's routed to the floor, so as far as I can tell, that fan isn't cooling anything...except the floor.

Please explain to me if I'm just missing something.

Also, are you going to paint that 2nd optical drive blue to match too? Not griping, just a suggestion.

Hey, I just noticed...you cut your own side window in the PSU! LOL...that's awesome, man. I also like that you painted your plastic rivits blue...nice attention to detail.

Congrats on your first build, bro...you're officially in the club, and now have the disease like everyone else...

i will be paiting the 2nd optical driver but i ran out of paint. As for the wending kit it will be cooling the hdd it sucks the air in and cools the hdd, so its like a intake but it goes through the hdd and then into the case. i did the psu mod but i think i wont be kepping that psu cause its only 400W. And the thingies that hold the window arent rivets like you said, those are normal philip head screws but i modded them a little, i putted car body filler in the hole sanded it out and painted them , pretty cool huh

I'm glad that you all like it and yeah i'm i the club hurray

Looks cool, alot of unique things going on in one case.

I like the PSU window, nice work for a first mod.

wolan9004 · 10-16-2006, 07:37 PM

i'm gald you all like it i was thinknig about putting a blue fan in the psu but since i would have do do some soldering or something else i didnt, i was scared i'm gonna mess up. My soldering skills suck

Zenshi · 10-16-2006, 09:08 PM

Wow that is awesome Wolan! It has a unque image all its own. I'm too afraid to mod my PSU. As Grez says it expresses functionality as well as looks. I like it the way I like Mac trucks. And the wheels are blue! gj gj.

**Grez** · 10-16-2006, 09:18 PM

I'm still not understanding how the tube from your front intake fan will cool the hard drive, unless there's a hole on top that I can't see. It looks like it just goes from the intake straight to the ground. I'm still confused. Of course, I'm blond too, so that might be it.

I'm even more impressed by your "rivit" work now that I know you didn't just paint smooth rivits, but actually took the time to fill in screws to give them the look you wanted, and then painted them. Good attention to detail.

**WhiteBoy88** · 10-16-2006, 09:59 PM

*The tube isn't in place yet; it's just hanging there temporarily; it's not even the motherboard he's going to use*

**Grez** · 10-16-2006, 10:22 PM

Ah, now that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. Guess I should have been able to figure that one out...been a long day with all of the flooding down here.

DJ-Nokey · 10-16-2006, 10:45 PM

i told him to reverse the way he has it.. to put the fan on bottom then aim the tubing at the HDD :)

**MDSarcasm** · 10-16-2006, 11:58 PM

That vent defeats that fan's purpose...

wolan9004 · 10-17-2006, 03:09 PM

no as youcan see i have no holes in the front of the pc right so there would be no purfose of having that fan in there without the venting kit. The purpose of the kit is to cool the hdd. i mad ea picture for you guys to understand the thing better. I know its not the smartest thing done but you can hide some wires behind the vetn which is always a great thing to do.
