Modding by philipe on 08-07-2005 at 08:43 PM

Hello everyone,

About 2 weeks ago I finished modding my pc (optically) and would like to hear what you guys think of it (any type of criticism accepted).  If you have any ideas about what I should add, please post them.  Btw the side pannel of the case is still original.  It just got cut open, and plexiglass was glued behind, and the rest I installed by myself.

The front is still original too and I also think that the original looks crap :p  Concerning the panel that displays the info about the temperature of various components, there were way worse ones that looked like car radios :p

hey! my pc's like that ;)....

only difference is mines one colour.. green..

i personally think it would look better all blue without the others but hey, still looks great:)

RE: Modding by philipe on 08-07-2005 at 08:55 PM

The fan with different colors was meant to replace the cpu fan, but it would not fit :( I did not want to throw it away, so I patched it to the air grill.  At least it has a purpose though :p Thanks for the nice comments guys!

Mmm ... modded case. Looks nice, and like care was taken, not just 'add every feature possible'.

I think that the front looks OK, but I'd take off the stickers and print.

RE: Modding by ~INVASION~ on 08-08-2005 at 06:25 AM

i like it, its very nice looking, the front panel display is kool, my friend has something like that also. i wanna get one :P

RE: Modding by -dt- on 08-08-2005 at 07:35 AM

remove the molex connectors and replace them with different color ones , Ive done that in mine and with my Uv light it looks really good.

RE: Modding by philipe on 08-08-2005 at 10:59 AM

how much? :P

Well when I first bought it, it cost 800 euros all in all, and I upgraded it to 950 euro.  And no, it's not for sale :p

What if you wear white clothing close to your computer? Doesn't it really stand out? :o

The UV lights will probably not reach you, but if they do, and the room is darkened, it looks amazing. Especially when you wear black with white shoelaces and undershirt.
RE: Modding by user27089 on 08-08-2005 at 11:07 AM

It's a really really nice computer, as I've told you before. Have you got your new graphics card for it yet?

RE: Modding by John Anderton on 08-08-2005 at 11:11 AM

Cool nice lighting .... i wish i had such lights ....
* John Anderton has a long "to buy" list :P

* John Anderton puts this after the domain name and the pc upgrade

* John Anderton sees the list has 5 - 6 items

* John Anderton checks his wallet

* John Anderton cancels the lighting off the list :sad:


:cry:

... btw total cost ??

As I posted above, when I first bought it, it cost like 850 euros, but now it's worth 950 with all the accessories.  I tried to keep it as low budget as possibe.

800.00 Euro = 43,070.47 India Rupees and 950.00 Euro = 51,173.83 India Rupees saysThe Universal Currency Converter ®.

Edit: I'm a slow typer :(, you beat me.

That's really wierd because here 2 blue neon lights cost 12 euros which is equal to 647.003 INR and you can even make the lights react on sound, so that if there is a clear sound (ex. bass), they will flicre accoridingly to it.

Is the blue one from Cooler Master?  Mine are from that brand and they also react to sound (optionally).

That is sweet! I want one!!!

RE: Modding by philipe on 08-09-2005 at 04:48 PM

:o I've seen one of those on ratemypc.com just that it wasn't a Mitsubishi Subaru, but a VW new Beetle.  I wonder how they can store all the components in so little space.

RE: Modding by guanako on 08-09-2005 at 05:43 PM

thats a Subaru but it sure looks like a Nissan Skyline :P
