<b>Should there be a casemodding section?</b>
I choose yes... and I think the best place for it is withing the Overclocking section.

If most people vote yes I will post the results to Fredi.

Not really.

Cooling and heatsinks is the section for that. Unless it's just a cosmetic/aesthetic mod, then it goez in the other forum.

C@lling it like I c it...

Well to be honest... the Other isn't a good help for casemodding.

Why not, would be interesting.

Yes.....

I said no, because it basically comes down to one thing, cutting metal. I would advise someone to just buy the case with the holes already in. Also, I think someone could get help easily enough here on that. Not sure of the life span on that section.

Never heard of painting cases... placing lights (not always drilling metal, plastic too)?

Yeah, I painted my case a half dozen times, till I got it right, covering up the bondo was a pain. Then I decided to add a couple more fan holes, and scratch up the side, and had to repaint it, by now the store had ran out of matching paint, so I ended up painting the hole thing over again. What a pain in the butt it was.

I have the mid tower Koolance case, left $179, then bought a full tower case, and switch the water cooler, added a window, and a couple holes for more fans. Now my case looks like this, the one for $279
<A HREF="http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/scan/se=Modified Cases/se=Koolance/mp=menu_search.html" target="_new">here</A> My latest ideal was to move the water reservoir out side of the case, right behide the CPU for my hoses would be shorter. As for my light, I had it on the bottom and broke it when I was working on the inside. $30+ bucks down the drain. So yeah, I could add my two cent "buy a case close to what you want already done". Lol..

Well the result product sounds cool, although it costed you a lot extra.
So why don't you want a casemodding section then... if you did it yourself?

Reply to svol

Its not that I don't want one, you ask if we need one. I'd say for the few bucks you would save, your better off just getting the case with the holes. If I person wants to add the holes, lights, or paint, how many ways are there of doing it, with out getting crazy. See what I'm saying, I can't see it going on and on, maybe I'm wrong.

Im just not sure how popular the section would be. It don't seem like many people around here do much for case modding.

Maybe i'm on my own on this, but after I went crazy last year looking at modding sites, i'm buying a new Enlight 7237 case. Thinking of trying a window, cold cathodes, couple Antec Trilites/triple blue leds, 80mm or 120mm blowholes in the side or top of case, and maybe some other crap. But that's just me...

Take a look in The Other and look at the pics of my watercooling... you will see that I did some casemodding too.

Reply to svol

Yeah, I printed out the pictures, and i'm using them as a sorta guide. Well, I have a couple ideas for my case, just need to get to it.

Wow, cool that you use my rig as an example :redface: .

Reply to svol

Yeah, your rig looks pretty hardcore, so i'm going to model around that. Might do another Enlight 7237 mod later for fun with watercooling

Yes, i strongly think there should be.
A number of times in the past i have wanted to ask case moddish questions and couldnt find a forum suitable. Also, there needs to be a PSU forum too, possibly merge them together and have
<b>Cases, PSU's and Casemods forum</b>

That is a great idea... that will make the forum more usefull and all those parts are closely related to eachother.

Yes, that would make sense. A more integrated approach to the structural components of the computer.

Did anybody see the IDF coverage from THG, with the case modding pics?
HOLY CRAP, I never knew case modding went as far as making Alien bodies cases!
This thing rocks as hell, no wonder some are enthusiastic about case modding! Or that cyberpumpkin, and that mystery box, COOLNESS! :smile:

I'm gonne bump this one up because the seems to be interest in the Other components ection for a PSU section.

I can't edit the poll question but the updated question should be: <b>Should there be a PSU, case and casemodding section?</b>

My PC eats so much money that I'm in 'desperate' need of it to buy PC3500 RAM, help Svol with his OC project!

Reply to svol

yeah there should be just a "CASE" section, so it will take care of PSU problems, quieter fans, wiring, sh!t like that..and also your typical, adding a window, new fan holes, Neon Lighting, and all that good stuff!

id' go for that.. how bad can it be? if you don't like it, then simply don't click on it then.

Is THG Slightly Slacking??

Reply to Rob423

I think a whole new section should be devoted to cases and their hardware.

Cases
Power Supplies
Cooling
Case Modding

A case modding section would definately be cool. I've seen this on other forums where the mods just blow you away, especially the cases that were built from scratch.

Definately a forum that specifically says "psu" in the name as there are alot of psu asked questions... and it seems many people dont know where to put them.

Reply to lhgpoobaa

yeah they should call it "CASE'S" and it will cover anything within the case..

it would clear alot of questions like Is the PSU enough????

lol.. or.. is 350w enought for this setup???? and those type of questions...


PEOPLE USE TEH SEARCH BOARDS option, it works well

Reply to Rob423

Put my "yes" vote in and I think that it's a definitely good idea. It should go into the Overclocking section and PSU and CASEMODDING should intertwine with each other.

:smile: How about a "FLOPPY" section? :lol:
