| That is my first and only mod, and all i did was add a window and throw some CCFL's and fans in it :) Its not all that hard, and you are starting out way better than me, sketching out on the side of the case. I just kinda started cutting. Gonna add more windows probably, but never got around to it. That comp stopped working, I think I might have fried something OCing it without really burning it in much. |

| Sounds like it'll be a good one...Old junk cases still are my favorite to work on from a modders point of view. Tech support on them...Nahhh, lol.
Looks good, my mom has a computer which looks just like that, except it's from 98/99 I believe. Some new things have been added, but the case looks the same as yours. Nice side panel design, I'll be following this. |
