[rhinocerology]

hey ppl i'm new here ut that's all good
neway i think we should have a plac to post our Mod screw up's right? maybe there is one already i didn't look and i don't care

well here is my case mod screw up
i call it exhast flame



way back when well 5 years ago when i din knowmuch about computers my drafting teacher decided to select a few student and teach them how to fix some old 486's 4(wow eh??) neways the computers were from a old miningcompany that donatd them and me and a few friends got them running and then the teacher told us we could take them home, so we all scanvage some other parts to "imporove" our computers, well i snagged the old server case and decided to install an exhast fan on the top of it so i used my dad's jig saw to cut the hole (by the way the jig saw doesn't work nemore...oops) and i ran some wires from one of the lil 3 pin floppy drive power cable's and it ran fine for about 2 days until the wires got real hot (too much voltage for them) and the plastic coating melted and the wires sparked and flames came flying out of the still spinning fan at the top in the process i cooked the vid card and partly "welded" it to the motherboard. i had to pry it out of it's pci slot

so that's my Case mod screw up!!!!!!! ;D

and my dad wasn't to pleased about the smoke or the broken jig saw oops oh well

About a week ago I drilled the holes backwards for a baybus. This wouldn't have been so bad but I had to use a knife to do it. Not only did I do it backwards but I cut the shit outa my hand too. After that I even fried a light on the damn thing. Sparks and smoke all over the place. Needless to say, that lite is dead. I think I will be buying a hole saw and a dremmel very soon.

Hi there!, I had pull the old Compaq floppy drive (unreadable drive) out of the floppy bay, it;s old compaq presario 8760, so I grab the spare floppy drive. Okay I cutted the plastic out to fit my spare drive's bazel size by the rotary cutter disc (demerel).. I realized it;s too little 1/8 inches wide gap around the bazel.. I will make new molded plastic, I have solider gun to melt the plastics and use putter knive to cover the gaps..

Im still waiting for AMD Duron 900 Mhz with a new mobo with new modded pc case.. (I made very nice modded pc case!)

[rhinocerology]

[PowerWCRulez]

Hey there!!, Forget about moldings.. I found the spare drivebay faceplace, I sheered the "wedge" style from top to bottom, and make measurements to fit my spare floppy drive. I try to fits nope not yet and still sheering them make easy fitable the floppy faceplate frame. aha!!! Bingo! and I drilled the hole for screws.. and here the attachment for my snapped photo from the USB WebCam.

Wooo! that better! SPAM;D

that ain´t lookin bad bro, you should mount your 5 1/4" devices the same way, but you´d need a big sheet of beige plastic and some maybe red anodized screws. shit, that would look H@RDCoRe.

[rhinocerology]

come on ppl there has to be more mod screw up's out there so for the love of god start typin >:(

[Smoked1]

Ok heres one for ya! I bought a drill, a mandrel, and a 4.5" hole saw for my fan. First the mandrel would not fit on the drill and I had to use an adapter from a rachet set. Then I rpoceeded to drill. This drill sucked and started shooting out sparks. I was determined and continued to drill. Next smoke started comming out like crazy but I just kept on drillin. Finally the drill died and I had to use the cirdless. That worked fine for me untill the hole saw flew off and bounced off my case. Lucky for me I put tape on it before drilling so the dammage was minimal. The hole came out kinda f-cked up so I used my dremmel to grind it down a bit. The fan works great but the drill is back at Home Depot where it belongs. Always use the tape! It saved my ass big time.

[rhinocerology]

good 'ol tape eh?
what kinda drill was it??? hope u din pay much 4 it sheesh that's one piece of crap drill if it can't drill throught less than 1/4in of steel or what ever cases are made of

[Smoked1]
