this was my very first attempt at any modding, the case is a pre-mod enermax, but everything else i did...my favorite part is the hidden cd-r and dvd drives

any suggestions or comments are appreciated

thank you

hello. here is my case. might not be as good lookin as Dark's case, but i did everything by myself. i think its a "not bad" case considering its my very first attemp at modding cases. still have to put something in front to cover the hole, and i"m not satisfied with the switchs, they were suposedly red, they look more orange to me..... so i'm gonna change them soon.

Eek eek eek eek eek eek [DARK] put your pci card down, that heat thats radiating off the pci card is going to make the Video card really hot, plus you dont get as much air, so i would just leave the fist pci with nothing in it.

well here is my *cough* modded *cough* case

 

some people believe in adding a window to their case, so I decided to add a case to my window (if u get what i mean)

http://www.ohiogeekfest.com/modules....php&page=9

I made the case 100% from scratch. I am in the process to redesigning it

I dont have the most fancy case but i tried to spice it up a little with some 80mm Antec LED Case fans ... I have 3 Blue LED fans in the front and 2 tri-color LED fans in the back... the cooling is great

I also painted the face plates on my DVD and CD-ROMs to match with my sidepanel

Unfortunately i bought it like that .. but hey , who said i had to make to mod from scratch ...
Yea i bought it from ThermalTake, and when i looked at it online it appeared to be white colored, but it turns out that it is silver ... and so that is why i painted the DVD/CD-ROM faceplates the same color and am working on MOD'n it some more
The case is real nice tho... has alot of room and plenty of space for adequate cooling..
The case had only cost me 75 bux 7 or 8 months ago

The other sidepanel on my case is the same color as the sidepanel with the window , if you can picture that

I think im gonna paint the feet silver also ... kinda highlighting it with silver

Thanks surly, the circle is 80mm Id. (it's not cut out) it's directly in front of my AGP. I put it there just in case I needed a fan. But so far I like my temps and havent missed all the extra dust a side fan brings in. As long as my temps stay down I'm not going to install a fan there.

I finally got me the window that i have been wanting... i now have six 80mm LED Fans in the case not including my PSU has a fan on the bottom of it... i love cooling , can ya tell?

My case is far from fancy so try not to bust a gut... but on the otherhand i am still working on modifying and/or personalizing it , so i am not done! .. i have the average crappy off white color of case so i plan on spicing that up a little too...
EDIT: I apologize for the picture quality(cheap creative cam)
