My first mod: Billabong, 7 fans in $32 case

26th July 2004, 09:13

My first mod. Didn't get too crazy with anything other then paint and plastic. Its air cooled in a $32 case so I had to run 7 fans. It sounds like a small jet turbine when it boots up :P

Specs:
Chaintech 7NJS Ultra
AMD 2700+
512MB Corsair PC3200 (couldn't afford the 2nd stick)
Radeon 9800pro 128MB
WD 60GB HD @ 7200rpm
Thermaltake 420W PS
Thermaltake Volcano9 cpu fan

Most of the lights are from LED's. I put in a white cold cathode that now grows dust. White light = bleh :/

nice colour combo, like the accessible front connectors, the nice lady and the weird plastic hair

Wow, that's very nice, especialy that 'thing' at your window

Great stuff, great colors.
I like what you did, especially when considering the tight budget.

nice window, how did you make the 'thing'?

Personaly I don't like the yellow color of the front, but that's only my opinion, keep up the good work.

The "thing" is thermal formed acrylic plastic with 12 superbright red LED's. I made the casing for it with polycarbonate sheet. It attaches with a little bit of velcro so you can clean the dust off of it.
