My first case mod... hmmmm... mine was installing 4 fans in a compaq 400mhz pos because it got so hot I could feel the heat on the outside of the case and the power supply fan put such hot air that would make any hair dryer ooh and awh with envy....

my first mod was the keyed power switch on my home built computer. Pics can be found elsewhere on the board.

you gotta start somewhere, I was auto mechanic and an electronics tech before i got into computers so I had a bit of a head start. If youy really want to get some kudos you gotta post some pics, I almost never get to post pics 'cause I DON'T HAVE A DIGITAL CAMEREA, but that's another story entirely. Good luck with the future mods because there will be more, oh yes there will be more. hahahahahahahahaha

I got this generic case from a computer store for about 25 bucks. It comes with a 300 watts power supply and a keyboard. I used a grinder to cut a hole for the side window, another on top. Find myself a plexiglass and a rubber tubing for the edging and rivits. Painted the whole thing black. Stuff the thing with a Pentium II 333 Mhz, Not bad for a newbie huh.

I cut a side intake blowhole for a 120mm fan.
The hole I cut was my first attempt at using a Dremel, and originally it looked egg shaped - it wasn't even round!!

I tried covering my bad workmanship with blowhole trim, and a chrome grille :/ but I later went back and did the job properly.


I've since painted the case, bezel and drives, and upgraded gfx card, sound card, speakers, keyboard and mouse
