Is this guess the board material?  I guess it was the type of board that comes from the back of an old radio or tv.  Not as flimsy as cardbourd and not as tough as flakeboard.  It is similar to the material used as backing on the cheap bookcase units available at Walmart.  Did I get it?

Im sorry. but any comp mod that dispenses candy will win hands down.

Make a giant Pez dispenser! Tilt the head back and the cdrom drive comes out!

I'll post a teaser when the UPS guy delivers teh goods.  This "case" idea has been done before but not to the level that I'm going to take it, and its going to be a game theme case.

I've got it all figured out except for the cdrom, cutting the hole is going to be a real PITA.   This will be my first air cooled case in a while too, a watercooler will add too much clutter.

Well, time to throw out some info on the new case.  Of course if I can get a player to use it, I will be bringing back the Lego case.  The new case is going to be a Athlon XP64 4000 w/ 2GB ram, 200 GB sata drive, 550 PS, 7800GT and DVD burner.  The best part of the case is that it will only have three fans.  They will be processor fan, vid card fan and a 40 mm fan.  The case is air cooled (no water) and temps are 58 Celcius for the vid card.  Not sure of processor temps since I have not checked them lately.  Oh, it has lights as well.

38 Celsius for temps on vid (previously an error.

What to do with old army surplus.... i know... CASE MOD

  My army surplus thing arrived for my case, but it wasnt what I ordered.  On a better note the laser etching came in, The battlefield 2 logo looks awsome.

I have an idea along these lines too, but have never taken the initiative to do anything with it. I guess I'll have to wait to see if yours is similar to mine or if mine is still an original as far as I can tell (i.e., I haven't seen anyone else do this yet).

Title: What to do with old comp parts.... i know... CASE MOD
Post by: zx2slow on May 25, 2006, 08:35:41 AM

It's been done before, but I only saw one done nicely.

Title: What to do with old comp parts.... i know... CASE MOD
Post by: Fabio on May 25, 2006, 10:50:42 AM

its not another ammo box is it?

Title: What to do with old comp parts.... i know... CASE MOD
Post by: zx2slow on May 25, 2006, 12:44:52 PM

Yeah, but better.  Every one i've seen was just a box with some ports holes drilled into it.  Mine will have a plexi window and I have a backplate Im modding to fit so it wont look hacked up.  I was going to do a army radio with the kayboard and mouse plugging into the front (as well as the knobs controlling fans, etc. and the display would be a temp readout) but I got hosed out of one, so plan B is a ammo box  (Still looking for the big radio tho).

Post by: -Sp()()ge- on May 25, 2006, 01:46:33 PM

Good call on the army theme.  I must again say that I am impressed at the level the modification is being taken.  It seems last case mod contest really got the juices flowing.  

I expect the contest to be close and the top cases are going to have originallity that has not been done previously at any Fites Lans.

BTW.. I may still need someone to use the Lego box.  Please contact me with possible players.  Software/moniter would need to be brought.

It's a fun project, I havent really done a extreme case mod in a while.

My idea is not an ammo box. And it's good to know that my idea is still possible original.

One of these days I might actually build it. I've already done some searching and found some of what I would need on E-bay and a couple army surplus type places.
