Dude, seriously, just stfu. No one really wants to see your P4 dell unless you modded the hell out of the case.


Goofas, not all hope is lost though, as soon as my mom mails me my old case that is in her basement(hopefully tomorrow) ill be working on a little project, nothing major, but at least something that hopefully urges others to start posting.

Wouldn't be so Dead if you took on a Modding Project and posted here.
Folks come and check for new projects being done. I suppose in some regards the old modders have moved on to other forums or just grew tired of modding. My Last Modding Project was last Oct/Nov. so it will be awhile for another one.

Your right use to be pretty busy in here but things change. Its not all bad..

I'd love to do something cool but my only real free time to myself is Tuesday nights and I spend that doing some gaming w/ my cousin. I can post some control panels I'm doing on the side if anyone is interested when they're done.

I'm in the process, but it will be a long process.

Not too much on the side of monster case mods, I don't think, though.

I miss all the millions of projects, though. Some really talented people used to do lots of work.

its nothin special. A couple green lights some gloss paint and a bit of sanding. The other side has the AMD 'arrow' scaled to fill the entire side. BTW looks way better in person as I own a shat camera. That rig is Athlon XP 2500 with 512MB ram, ATi R9800P and 160Gb HDD, on a ABIT KV7-V along with the worlds worst wire managment.

Beast of a time with the paint, huh? I tried painting CDROM bezels (probably the easiest of 'paint mods') and it thoroughly p****ed me off and I gave up. I could hardly imagine a case! :p

If I were to do anything with my case now, I'd try to setup a liquid cooling system and mod the top of my case to have the heatercore installed there.

As for me, I'm out of college and finally working full time. And by full time I mean 50-60 hours a week (with weekend work). I also don't really have any space here. I did buy a new computer, though, so hopefully I'll actually have a chance to pull the old one apart since it's going to be down for a while anyway. Then move onto the new case (the new Lian Li's so pretty, want to be practiced up a bit! ;)).

Damn guys... loose all hope why don't 'cha??!?! ;)

Growing up does not mean the "end of modding"! Cripes... it's the begining of it for me... and now that I Have a career that can give me a decent budget to play with, I'm having a ball!!!

Very sorry for not posting up over here in so long. DSF (Dallas Stars Foundation) was a build I just wrapped up on 2 weeks ago. It was an exclusive build log that I promised to my bros over @ Modders-Inc.

Now... I'm going to finish up DST (Dallas Stars Tribute) for my friend, my son's premod (with custom paint and lighting... you know you can't leave those alone!) and my Quakecon rig for 2007 (you have registered... right?).

All of this, and I am in the middle of final negotiations on a house for my family to move in to!

If we get the house, modding will again be "delayed" while I pack up the house with my wife, and get it moved over to the new hacienda. New garage means I can lay out my work area *exactly* how I want it before I move anything into it.

And it is going to be SO sweet! I will get me a 220v run on a dedicated breaker, and run that to a section of my garage and put a nice, used oven in there so that I can start powder coating in my garage! I'll also run a dedicated circuit breaker for my air compressor.

In the words of Dr Seuss.... "Oh the places you will go!"

But never... ever... give up hope! And certainly don't give up on modding!
It is truly a blast!

I'll have my DSF thread posted up here in a bit!

LET'S GO FOLKS!!!!!

I know this was posted quite a while ago, and sorry for a bit of the grave digging, but I just had to respond.

Way to go Tech-Daddy!! :)

I may not have worked on a mod for a long time, but I am now successfully out of college and working. I am definitely looking forward to setting aside a part of my income for future mods. I've yet to do any modding right now because I've been getting hammered at work with the crazy deadlines some people decided to agree to. But the dream is not dead, and I will be back at it when I finally get some time and a little extra dough. (Even if they're not quite as awesome looking as Tech-Daddy's ;))

05-02-2007, 12:15 AM
You are funny bro!
;)

Got my house, wrapped up on move in this last weekend. Now... all of my crap is in boxes in my beloved garage!:eek:

I have more space in this garage and the previous owner left me a workbench... so that gives me a total of 3 that I can use!

The circuit breaker box is going to be a bit of a nightmare, as it is an old style that is not very reliable, not able to be expanded, and is generally frowned upon by the electrician public! So... I am in the process of diagramming out my ideal circuit layout for the garage.

I will likely have a master panel that comes in off the mains, and then 2 sub panels off of that breaker. One panel for the garage and one for the house. This will hopefully isolate the noise of my tools from getting into the lines in the house. Also, this will grant me the flexability of, if I need to run a new outlet somewhere, I can shut down the garage without taking the rest of the house down. That way I can add in my new breaker, fish my wall for the new box and bring the garage back on line without killing my son's XBox, my daughter's Dora, or my wifeypoo's 24! ;)

So, thank you for the kind words! I am just as excited at the prospects. Congrats to you for keeping the faith and not dropping the fever to mod! I look forward to seeing your creations!

I hope to make a significant dent in the boxes in the garage by this weekend, opening up one of my work benches for the beginings of bench setup.

Take care all!

I for one do miss all the custom pc we use to see in here. I like many of you have been busy with other things not leaving any time to do a new project. I was planning on do one over the winter but one of my other projects took up most of my spare time. I hope by late summer I will be putting together a new system and will post picture then. Maybe we should start up a show us your pc thread to bring this back from the dead.

For now here is a pic of me winter project. Its not a pc but I guess you could say its been overclocked. :D

Hola Sharks.

It has been a while.

I was doing some lurking and trying to catch up on some of the past projects I missed. There were some awesome projects and a whole lot of talent. I built 2 other machines while I've been gone, but they were plain vanilla. I had a project in progress here, but I have scrapped it. Old modders never die, they just get upgraded.

It's time to start fresh.

I'm putting some ideas together and will be starting my project soon. I need to get up to speed on hardware so I don't n00b it up too badly. I've got the welder fired up, a stack of fresh dremel wheels, and some free time. It's time to get back to modding.

It's good to be back.

I think the real problem is that most people buy newer cases that already have all the bells and whistles you could mod on your own. I bought an Antec 900 and I can't think of anything that I could do that wouldn't make it look rediculous. It used to be you had to add a window w/ a dremmel and throw come cold cathodes in but now you can just buy em pre-made. Takes all the fun/frustration out!

Tech-Daddy
07-04-2007, 04:26 PM
While this is true, to a point, modding chases the spirit of customization. Every person that gets a case can find things that they wish had been done differently. And on the really active modders, it becomes a challenge to customize that high end case to make in unique and special.

So, yeah, a lot of the cases out there today have really been following forums like this to come up with designs that take what we do into account.

Dare I say that even the most "customed" vendor case can always be painted /polished/dremmeled/LED'ed/fan'ed/etc, no matter how sweet the case is out of the box. Modding will never die... :)

TAZTG
07-05-2007, 07:34 AM
Case Modders usually will not buy a pre-modded case. I rather get a plain case, select a theme for the MOD and go to town. Now the SDCM (Seriously Deranged Case Modders) will look at most anything and think WoW that would be a sweet case mod project.

Its true that pre-modded cases have taken its toll on the modding community but I can remember when cases had the AT Form Factor, and Modding was considered stupid to most folks. Why ruin a perfectly good case. LOL
