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).

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