My first mod
 
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 :drool:

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

:ws:

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.

of course you like the color, your own casemod was completely in yellow :)

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.

Premod or not, I still like the 'thing'

Ahh yeah your right it was a premod. the only real mods to the case are the paint and decals. A few holes here and there for wires and the cold cathode power switch.

All of the illuminated fans have red LED's in them for HD access. Anybody ever wired up that many lights in paralell to the HD access header on thier motherboards? I was a bit concerned about current draw so I left them disconnected. Maybe a FET power driver would be a better idea?

like everyone else, like the coldfire and the colorcombo :super:
