Default MODDING NOOB!

Hey everyone,
I am a modding noob. I saw a mod of a computer case in a recent episode of the screen savers on techtv. I am hooked. I want to mod my computer. Where do I go? Where do I start? I wanna put all my things in a black case with a window on the side. I also want a color to cycle in the window. I saw a window with a light inside displaying the color blue, but I want mine to cycle through a few colors. If someone can help me out, I'd GREATLY appreciate it!

Well you should start by cutting any holes that you will need for fans or a window. Than sand it and paint it. I don't know about the changing light though

Hi ModNoob, Welcome to the new cyber-crack, Modding.  There are many things you can do, so look around and make a plan.  Visit the Galleries you can find at such places Voided Warranty, and read the reviews so you don't do like I did and buy the wrong things first.  The reviews can point you to good stuff and alert you to crap, saving you big bucks. Good luck modding and post pics. ;D  Here is a link to pulsing lights: http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/ele-18.html  It uses LEDs, so high intensity would be needed for case lighting.  Since there are 4 LEDs possible, and they go in sequence, you could use different colors.

in order for those LED to work with your fan, there are many things that you could do in order that they rotate with it.  I would use some sort of bearing to make to LED stay with your fan. I would say that the biggest part of the whole moddin procedure is your imagination.   ;D Drelems often come in hand as well  ;D

Hey,
Thanks a lot for all your help. I really like the FrozenCPU site. I think I'm going to buy a already modded case. Mostly because I dont have the money to screw up a bunch of cases.  However, the second I CAN afford to screw up some cases, I'm going to mod the hell out of one. Not just the appearance, but the functionality.  I saw a modded case with 5 consoles fitted in there + 1 bad ass comp.  Maybe mine will have a toaster :P.  Well thanks again for all your help, this place is cool. ;D

Hey guys,
I found the tower that I want, but its watercooled. I have no need for a water cooled system. Can anyone tell me where I can get this tower http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/cas-13.html .  I want the tower, the window, and 2 120mm fans (1 on top, 1 on side). If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

OK. Buy the antec 1030B and go get a window kit or something. Or better yest just buy the molding and make your own window. To tell you the truth I think that you should get the water cooled case. It looks great, even greater with a little paint. That would be perfect for you. Actually now that I think of it, you should just buy it and give it to me
