im gonna buy a new case soon, and im trying to figure out some cool modifications to do it. Ive already decided to turn one of my old shitty cd players into a cupholder(if it works, maybe ill write a how-to) and ill probably paint it...but my friend kind of inspired me when he made plexiglass windows in his case...and i guess im just wondering what other people have done to theirs...to get ideas and such...

Painted black with a purple "graidient" from bottom to top.
The fronts of the CD, Writer, and floppy is going to be purple.
On one side (where you can see the mobo), I am going to cut out the Autobot symbol.
I am going to put two neon lights in: red on bottom and blue on top.
Fans galore!!! Controlled by a fanbus (where I am also going to have the neon lights swtich).
On the other side panel, I am going to get Optimus Prime airbrushed on the side, and "Primus" above that.
Also, I am wanting to change all the leds to blue Anything else? hbar98 out. ---

If I had the time and resources I would love to build a fiberglass case and fill it with mineral oil. How fucking cool would it be to walk into someone’s room and see their entire pc swimming in a vat of oil? Plus my friend said he would give me 贄 if I did it...

talk about building at a loss...you cant fill the entire thing,anything with moving parts would be fucked, youd have to seal off the cd drive and floppy and hd and such...

I've done a couple "case mods" out of rage...No pic's up yet, but once I got so pissed I took off the panel that goes over where you can get to the mobo, and I bent it pretty bad. Now it just rests on the side... I've also scratched "I HATE THIS COMPUTER" in the side with a knife, and I've added/taken off stickers. I got one rage against the machine sticker, but I changed "the" to "this" . I took off the "designed for windows" sticker thing. But, I've been looking for a new box, if not a new system, and I might do some window/light things... ------------------

I am somewhat tempted by shiny things.

It depends on how much effort you're willing to put in. A case that was the lifesize shape of Salma Hayek would be pretty desirable. Maybe you could even get a fufme drive. :-)------------------

After looking at VirtualHideout.net, I decided to have a custom case. I am currently making my new case out of Duplo ------------------

My friend made a fish tank out of a Mac Classic. Probably not considered a Case Mod since it wasn't operable afterwards... then again, it was more useful afterwards.
