Need Case Modding Ideas!

[ElectroGoofy]

Hello all

Ok, I have a computer class in school and the current assignment is to come up with an idea for a case mod, and we are actually going to make it in class.

So I need your help in coming up with either a unique or cool looking, yet relatively easy-to-build idea, and DEFINATELY not very expensive idea for either making a case from scratch, or an object (ex. trash can) that I can turn into a computer case. Something like $50 or less (hopefully).

Thanks in advance!

Check out the many mods that are available by pro's such as MonsterMawd,etc. (Google for his youtube vids)

+1 ^5 what Shadow703793 said.

MonsterMawd at mnpctech.com has some really great video clips over at youtube.com. I looked at bunch of them the other day. Also try searching Google for case mods. I found some really great stuff, including the Victorian keyboard and monitor seen on "Warehouse 13" on the SyFy Channel (new name for Sci-Fi).

What about an amazing side window mod?

That's one of the very best I've ever seen ^^^.
Either custom paint the inside.. or cut out and make a window.. of it it's already got a window then I'd do something like the above link shows.

Ok, I am thinking I might go with a hard sided suitcase, or maybe a see-through computer case..... but still looking at all suggestions

What happened to actually doing the work your self?

Go to sites like BT, TBCS, and OCN, and look at the worklogs.

Ha, yea, I have been thinking and have come up with a couple ideas, but just wanted to hear somebody else's ideas, seeing as how there are a bunch of case mod pros on here

Go to sites like BT, TBCS, and OCN, and look at the worklogs.

Going to check them out right now!

Recycling of old/outdated appliances should still be a good mod. Looking around my place an old window mounted air conditioner, old file cabinet or old toolbox. Maybe a mobile idea like a wheeled carry on type luggage bag, a wheeled pressure washer or wheeled tool cart. You might make a stop at your local dump or a thrift type store and see what's a usable size and shape and cheap$$.
