Case mod ideas

just built my 1st pc from skip parts and i am going to turn it into my new server but the only cases that i have found in skips are destroyed by rubble... any ideas for interisting case mods that i could build (note must be cheep what can i say im poor)

If your after something funky why not try lego?
I saw a Mac on E-bay recently made out of lego which looked ace, maybe a bit more bother than you want but it'd look cool

cool i dont know if i got enough lego tho or where it is anymore...
but i wouldnt do that to any of my macs... the beige is too cool

but i might try to put this one in a mac? ive got an old pb1400 case lying around...

u dont really need a case persay do u if all the bits are in place on a frame maybe a box on top when its not used to keep the dust out but yeah. also ur link doesnt work

yeah im having problems with the link... something to do with the host, they put a bar at the top of the page... i think and so some browsers can view some cant
this wont work all the time.... why i need a new server... pic

not that I would in anyway imply that you should break the law, but have you thought of making a metal case out of road signs?

hey i like that idea... and my step bro has a large supply (he collects them) so i might be able to get an old one

Here is my favorite custom case ever:

I've been kicking aroung the idea of taking an old Atari 2600 case and moding it into a PC.

well i tried an old nes last night but the board is a little too big, trying to get slackware on it now... but i need to find some more ram for it and a bigger hard drive.

yeah that mod is cool, it was on b3ta a while ago... there is also a g4 with a lcd screen in the front pannel (as an extra monitor) and a dentists chair style thing with pc attached which is really nice (some where in korea)

www.coolcasemods.com

itll sort you out a treat

i got my first case mod from there and have since done loads of mod and now do them for a comp shop

later days

ok so this is it at the moment...

that is what is serving you the images...

Fantastic...where on earth did you get with that idea from

you can pick up a second hand fish tank for about a tenner. Rectangular like a real case, and see-through like all the modern, expensive cases.

then; paints (glass/ acrylic, whatever) or cartoons pasted on the inside, or plastic icicles (like the ones you get for the cristmas tree) stuck on to make it spiky, or action figures having a war over the circuit boards, or plastic fish hanging inside on string to make it look like a real fish tank, or...............

well i made it from parts ive found in skips so where beter to put it?

thats better

fill the fish tank with distilled water... removing any moving parts first, of course. that takes care of cooling, too.
