Thinking about modding my case

[Ph?bus]

Uhh lighting mod, and possible like a clear case.

What do you mean lighting mod?
Like adding a cold cathode?
And by clear case, do you mean the whole case being clear or just adding a window?

Yeah, I think by lighting mod, he means cold cathodes lol. I'd love to get one of those Corsair Obsidian 800D cases with a few cold cathodes in that. You don't need to mod it, it's got all of the holes nicely cut out for you and sealed with rubber.

yeah. I want one so bad.

And for the cold cathodes, I'm pretty sure you just need zipties and the molex adapters (that come with it, I think) for that.

I recommend punching teeny weeny little holes on the side panel. Even if its not that much it has alot better airflow

The case already has airflow, I mean, that's what it's designed to do.

Pretty nice job. Only thing I don't like are the corners of those windows. That tubing that you're using aren't rounded around the corners. :/ It's tough to do though.

You have to admit is still looks pretty good for an aftermarket case mod.

By the way, did you do a little cable management in there? ;]

 

[GBear]

Yeah, I know it does look nice. I'm just really picky about the little details of things.

Yeah, I told my dad to get U channel, so went went some that goes on car doors&windows, not computer mods u channel. >.>
I had to get fancy with placing the acrylic window, as the u channel made it lift off the case, so I had to use 2 strips of tape, instead of one.
And I totally forgot to cut at an angle for the U channel. >.<

 

[GBear]

Ah, that's what they're called, u channels. But they're basically tubing sliced down one side. Yeah, get the corners done and it'd look much better.

Yeah, but then I'd have to take off the acrylic, and the mounting tape I used is ridiculously strong lol. I tried to pry it off, and it just wouldn't move. And I'll eventually get the correct u channel. It's only $4 for 6 ft, which is more than enough.
