Bill Owen, 35, didn't realize his passion for cars and computers would turn a hobby into a career. For three years, Owen, of Minneapolis, has "modded" computer cases, individualizing them with unique designs, paint jobs and lighting for customers who want more than the standard shape and color.

Owen got the idea after friends got together to play computer games on a network, bringing their systems with them. Most computers were the same boring beige box, he said. "We thought of ways to bring out individuality in their cases," he said, " . . . to make them different from other computer systems."

Owen's business has thrived, largely because of the growing market of do-it-yourself computer makers. He now gets requests from all over the world.

Most of his clients are guys who are into cars, he said. He creates many hot rod cases with flames and custom lighting. But his latest masterpiece was a Desert Storm case for a man who wanted to honor friends who had gone to war. The case resembles a tank with desert camouflage and armor.

All of Owens' work is done in his shop in his house. His work is available online at http://www.mnpctech.com. Smaller projects take Owen a few weeks; elaborate projects can take up to six months, often incorporating fabric, paint "and anything your imagination can come up with."

He charges between $200 and $2,500, depending on the complexity of the case, and prides himself on automotive styling finish that he applies to every case.

"My life is absorbed with modding," he said.

Modded, or modified, computer cases are finding their way into the mainstream. Modding is growing both as a hobby and as an industry, says Ben Rising, owner of MountainMods.com, an online seller of modding parts (http://www.mountainmods.com). Retailers are increasingly stocking the modified cases.

Modders shun the ubiquitous boring beige tower that contains the hard drive and other guts of the computer. Instead, they cut windows in their boxes, install colorful cold-cathode fluorescent lights, attach glow-in-the-dark cables and customize other parts ranging from buttons to fans.

Alex Wiley, 23, a student at Portland Community College in Oregon and a computer hobbyist, goes far beyond typical modders. He builds his cases from scratch, using acrylic and super-bright, light-emitting diodes.

His home office is a veritable museum of sleek, glowing boxes: The blue box, with its chrome accents, resembles a safe. The black box, with aluminum flames streaming back along the sides, looks like a home theater projector. The green box's shape is the logo for Advanced Micro Devices, a California computer-chip maker.

Most impressive of all, Spider, with its acrylic legs spanning five feet, glows red when the "on" switch -- one of the spider's antennae -- is pushed.

"Alex is an extreme modder," says Matt Fishler, a 17-year-old high school senior from Beaverton, Ore., who runs TwistedMods.com, one of the Web's largest modding sites. "He's amazing."

Wiley's creations have appeared in national magazines, including Tech Edge, Maximum PC and PC Extreme.

"Everybody else has trophies from high school," says Wiley. "I've got magazines."

MountainMods.com's Rising modified his first computer case in the 1980s to add exhaust fans to keep his computer from overheating and crashing. It wasn't until the late 1990s that Rising began to notice modding being done strictly for form rather than function.

"My hobbies stuck more to function until eventually I got tired of staring at the beige midsize tower," Rising says. "I started painting devices and building cases from the ground up."

Fishler's computer sits inside a large aluminum cube called the U2-UFO, which is made by MountainMods.com. After finishing classes at noon each weekday, Fishler works until midnight using the computer to publish articles, sell advertising and moderate forums.

Fishler's Web site staff includes a senior editor in Portland, a guide writer in Seattle, a reviewer in Philadelphia and an interviewer in the United Kingdom.

"We'll pretty much do everything" related to electronics modding, Fishler says, noting that the site is about to publish a three-part series on modifying Xboxes.

Purists such as Wiley stick to do-it-yourself boxes from start to finish.

"To build one from the ground up," he says, "you know it's your creation."

Wiley is now building a mod for a friend. It will look like a vintage Marantz 2220B audio receiver. His next case for himself -- once he accumulates $1,000 for the project -- will be a replica of the front of a Ferrari Enzo, including the hood and two front wheels.

"Anything can be made," Wiley says. "It just depends on how much work you want to put into it."

[dutchcedar]

That's very cool... B)

[mnpctech]

Thanks Dutch!

You've gotta submit photos of BaDassII to the PC mags when its finished ;)

Thats just what I did. Great work there winning readers drives. Have fun with all your new kit.

Now I need to work on the looks of my own case if I want to enter that.

[Pug]

Hehe cheers guys. First of many for us all, I hope. B)

I bought my copy :) (and will probably by a few more for keepsakes for friends & family too)
Colour me chuffed to bits with it. :D

[bigZ]

congrats on getting into CustomPC, got my copy yesterday... I have to say though, the pictures don't do it all that much justice, I think that desktop sized picture you posted is where the real bling bling look arises :D B)

[mnpctech]

Pug and his HexaDragon are featured on http://www.pcpro.co.uk/readersdrives/readersdrives_winner.php]PCPro's (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/?[url) website[/url]


woot!

[Pug]

Wow, thx for the heads-up bud. :)
I was wondering when it would go up (thought it would just be on CPC though).
Aargh! More scary pics of me. :o :lol:

[mrplow]

So far as I can tell, CPC is basically an off shoot of PCPro, right? The geekier guys on the team branched out? ;) :lol:

Cool to get extra exposure pug :)


ps this image is hilarious:

[mnpctech]

whoa, missed that. I can only make out Pug's face the farther back I look at it.

[Pug]

Gah, I can't believe he kept that one in - I blinked too. :blink:

Nice shot of the T-shirt, at least. ;)

[mnpctech]

Having my Fighter Pilot switchs reviewed in Custom PC, I was fortunate to recieve another complimentary issue... So it arrives today and as I page through it....guess wha? Our Knipex won READER'S RIDES!!!

Awesome write up dude!

nice mention of WizD too ;)


So WizD pretty much owns READER'S RIDES... wouldn't ya say? B)

[furious trout]

Not only that but WizD got a mention in the article about watercooling -2 free ad's in one issue not bad! ^_^

[mnpctech]

Oi! WizD has become the darling of CUSTOM PC.

Pug, if you don't send them some of your products to review.. Youre nuts! :p

[Knipex]

Thanks Mnpctech

How do you manage it.

I have a sub and am getting a complimentry copy and you still get yours before me. :o It takes longer to post to Ireland than U.S. :rant:

On the write up. I just submitted a draft and they were to edit it so I have no idea what they printed or what pictures they used.. (They took over 100).

Me waits for posty to come with my 2 copies......

Edit just reread your post

Oh and good to know that as well as readers drives I am also a readers RIDE.... :D Hope that was voted for by the female readers though <_<

[fillip]

The prizes aren't so good now as before. Shame :(

Coolermaster centurian case with Aero 7+ cooler, Aerogate fan controller, hiper 470W PSU and purple cold cathodes.
Centurions REALLY suck (I am holding one for a friend, it's properly rubbish)


Acrylic case and 405W PSU
Yeah why not


Hercules 3D prophet all in Wonder 9800 SE
** maybe


Antec Super lan boy with with 350W smart blue PSU, UV 80mm fan, Round eide cables and light tube
I'd get one


Samsung SP1614C 140 gig sata hardrive
** maybe, probably useful


Epox 8rda+3
Nah


PNY secure digital memory card
** if you're an SD pda/camera fiend


MSI KT8 NEQ -F152A
** maybe, depends if you want this kind of thing


Hightech radeon 9800 pro ICEQ
Er, duh!


DFI Lanparty Pro 875B
Aye!


1Gig Corsair twinX 3200 LLpro
Mhm!!!


FSP Silent solution Kit
Nah

I can pick any 6..
I was hoping for 19" LCD's and wireless keyboard and mouse kits:(
Oh well cant complain I suppose
Awhh, go on! :D
I marked what I'd get, and ** for cos I couldn't decide on the last one.

[fillip]

I'd pretty much go with everything mrplow said. Def' take the iceQ, DFI and the lan boy. If i was going this far then i'd take the Ram and the HDD also.

Shame there isnt much else there really.

Wouldve been nice to have at least some kind of LCD in there, or at least sumthing other than standard PC parts (although there are some sweet bits of kit there) like a camera.

enjoy your goodies

[mrplow]

Got my customPC express delivered to me by bigZ earlier. Didn't have chance to look in cos I had some coursework to do; having just finished that I had a better look and the article (and, of course, the case) looks good!

Congrats again (assuming I said congrats before, I should have... hehe)

[Darv]

Nice one Knipex! B)

Enjoy all those goodies :D

[Knipex]

To follow in the tradition started by PUG I have started a new thread to ask you to help me choose my prizes.

Help me (http://wizdforums.slackworth.co.uk/index.php?act=ST&f=13&t=217)

[Pug]

Wow, it's out again already? I didn't think I'd long had the last one!
Nice one K - Can't wait to get hold of this issue too. B)

Watercooling article, eh? and another mention? wow! cool. B) :D
Bill - funny you should mention but I do have some kit lined up for them, I've yet to discuss it with them as I've been sorting something with a well known UK modding/review site first but rest assured, I'm on the case for it. :)


BTW - On the off-topic bit - I got so drunk when I was 21, I forgot to grow up for the next 10 years or more. :wacko:

[mnpctech]

dutchcedar's BaDassII made the front page NEWS at Modders HQ (http://www.moddershq.net/)

Congrats Bro! B)

[dutchcedar]

Hey, thanks for the link...

I'll be firing her up tonight, so my fingers are crossed. :D

[Pug]

Sweet. Nice one Dutch.
Hope the test run's goin' ok. Keep us updated eh? :)

[dutchcedar]

Test run? Sheeit, BaDassII is alive and runnin' like a banshee on steroids. :rant:

Seriously, I've been workin' with her for a few days now and she's already made my work much easier and faster. An unexpected side benefit is how easy she is to work on. Everything's BAM, right there in front of you. Since the windows pop right out, swappin' cards is a piece of cake (even that huge Wilcat4 slides right out the front window B) ).

The hard drives simply fly... Raptors and the RAIDCore controller are a match made in heaven.

You can peek here to see her up and runnin' with the "lights on"... B)
http://www.modthebox.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB...082;start=45#45 (http://www.modthebox.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=mtblogs;action=display;num=107678108 2;start=45#45)

Runnin' all out at 100%, both Xeons are at 30 - 32C and she's hardly makin' any noise at all.

I've had rigs that were fun and kinda fast, but this one is simply the shiznits. I really should stop lookin' at her and get some work done. In the works is an article describing her, design, build and performance... I'll post y'all a link when it's up.

A little side note... she's networked with the original BaDass... 10 GHz of water-cooled duallie goodness that run six folding clients. :rolleyes:

[Starbuck3733T]

Damn dutch, you OWN! That's gorgeous, and its just so RIGHTEOUSLY awesome that you do WORK and not just GAME on that rig. Or have the hardware just for SHOW!

This post brought to you by redbull, and bill & ted's excellent adventure flashbacks.

my claim to modding fame... sorry about the glare.

[Nexxo]

Crayzass1, did I ever mention how eye-wateringly cool I think that mod is? Pure class. B)

[crayzass1]

no you didnt, but thanks for the compliment.

i have a couple more pc-60s that will be revealed at the end of the summer.

[Silverstrand]

no you didnt, but thanks for the compliment.

More?! I can't wait to see what you've come up with. Ever since you stopped work on your lan-boy mod, i've been wondering what you've been working on.

[Darv]

crayzass1, have you got any links ot hi-res versions of your case. it's very cool! B)

[Pug]

Hey, sweet crayzass1. B)
Shame about the flash saturation but if that's the latest issue, I'll try and snag a copy from the newsagents next time I get out to read it properly.
If I haven't said so before... Welcome to WizD. :cool:
Hope you stick around - will look forward to seeing more of your work. :)


Tell you what, as a side note; with the amount of talent around here now and the burgeoning interest from the public, I don't think it'll be too long before we get a sub-thread of "WizD members on TV"...
(BBC ModFest coverage anyone? ;))

Keep 'em coming. :cool:

[crayzass1]

More?! I can't wait to see what you've come up with. Ever since you stopped work on your lan-boy mod, i've been wondering what you've been working on.
lanboy is still in the works, its still pieced out on its on 8 foot table. i am realy taking my time on it, there is no hurry to finish it. the lian li's im working on are customer cases that have to get out asap. id o have to say, i prefer lian li modding to anything else.

crayzass1, have you got any links ot hi-res versions of your case. it's very cool! B)
www.coolishous.com/crisse/mycompmod/ (http://www.coolishous.com/crisse/mycompmod/) <-- tons of pics, new and old of some of the cases i have done. i really need to take a day out of my busy schedule and make a website with pics of the many other projects i have done.

[Starbuck3733T]

Escuse me while I wet myself: those white CCFLs look GREAT!!!!!!! I think I may move the ones in goliath to get that effect - tiz craaaaazy!!

Get that thing into the Gallery STAT!!!

[fillip]

I cant believe that there are so many people who havent seen this b4...


Actually, yes i can, i have too much spare time and dont see enough daylight! lol.

I love the simplicity of the case - painting a design on the case without completely painting over that beautiful lian li finish!!

I second the call for you to stick it in the gallery

[Silverstrand]

Glad to here your still working on it. I saw some of your new progress pictures, and it's interesting to see what your doing. I just like seeing some one take a pre-mod and make it so much better (for the lack of words). I lost track of you once you left XoxideFN.

[crayzass1]

I lost track of you once you left XoxideFN.
the thread was closed cuz i put the project on hold.

[mnpctech]

I remember your worklog on GvL. Very clean job! :cool:

Git this rig in our Gallery :o

[TheGreatSatan]

It's in the works...

[mnpctech]

Sorry, you don't get off that easy TGS... Whats the scoop?

[TheGreatSatan]

I sooooo want to tell, but I need to wait till it's definitive. But an editor from a very well known magazine has emailed me about one of my cases. Hopefully I'll know more soon.

[mnpctech]

Congrats! I hope it goes through for you TGS.

Chewy was inside PC Games Hardware one time with THe Grizzly.

I think he´ll be inside a second time with the aquasphere.

Not yet. It was actually pushed back to March, so look out for it around then.

Congrats on the fame. On another note I have a g4 case like that coming my way soon. I hope to turn it into a nice little novell server. I hope I can find a nice matx mobo and cpu and some cheep ram to make this worth my while. I love g4 apple cases. I like the rotten apple case they did.

PC Enthusiast magazine is new; they have only had 2 or 3 issues. The current issue (October/November) will have my Sentinel Matrix mod featured in it. And R2-D2 has been already been secured for a future issue. Their magazine staff is comprised mostly of hardware pro's. They have expanded their modding section (because of my PM's) and are looking to have one Mod per issue highlighted. As of now they're are no prizes for getting to be highlighted except for having your Mod in print.

http://www.pcemag.com (http://www.pcemag.com/)

Go to their page in the top right corner. The new magazine section will be called "Cut-N-Case". Good luck.

What you guys need to do, submit some DIY articles to the Editor.. They asked me already.. Sorry "I aint got the time"

You all have enuf skills to get yourself a modding column in that mag... Thats what PCE lacks, Monthly Columinists. Where the fuck is a Monthly Column dedicated to Modding?! If PCE wants a leg up on MaxPC and CPU.... Heres an opportunity for what is a very viable market.

Get your work and knowledge published monthly, not periodically in the back page..

Just makes me wonder...

[AWACS]

indeed... maybe they are ripping people off and selling the best ideas to some manufacturer

[jaguarking11]

indeed... maybe they are ripping people off and selling the best ideas to some manufacturer

Dude? Ripping ideas off and selling to manufacturers? Manufacturers have been doing that since the dawn of premods. Wonder why there are so many manufacturer suport personel people on forums? They hang around and pick up an idea or two. Its called market reaserch. Any manufacturer can asign someone to forum browse and rip crap off.

I think the pc mag is a very small fry. If they play their cards rite they could make it if not they are dead in the water just like every publication. To me it sounds like a family operation and nothing more.

Only thing I can say is that they have a very slim chance of making it.

[TheGreatSatan]

They start selling R2D2 pre-mods and I'm suing!

[Leeum]

Slightly confused here.

Just took a look at the top 10 weirdest case mods (http://gadgets.fosfor.se/the-top-10-weirdest-case-mods/) and saw the R2D2 PC - I'm sure it's one of TGS' pictures.

Yet when I click the link it's a different one :huh:

Leeum's right. The pic used in the list is TGS' but the link take you to a page of a totally different mod - apart from the obvious difference in the shade of blue used you'll notice it also has no phase change cooling. And obviously the PC specs are completely different.

So the question is, which came first?

[ỒĊBłůē]

That Miss Kanna PC is a little bit disturbing.

Why not just stick a PC in a rucksack and get a blow-up doll to wear it?

I doubt TGS was the first to have the idea to make an R2D2 themed computer and I know he isn't the last. There are alot of different ones from really simple to full blown movie replica style.

I think it's a magazine too. Does that mean they'll publish R2D2? Who knows? But you know magazines always come out way early.

[ỒĊBłůē]

Yeah - I was only joking.

Magazines are realeased early due to uncertain distribution (slower to certain destinations) - this way, they'll ensure that everyone that it's supposed to reach on time gets it whilst it's the current issue.

You wouldn't want to buy last months magazine, would you? ^_^

On the subject of 'in the news': My WMD mod got picked up for Mod of the Month in UK mag PC Answers. Dunno when the issue is out, I'll have to get the guys in the UK to keep an eye out. WMD also got picked up by a news service, World Entertainment News Service in London, who "put together features for newspapers and magazines all over the world". Not sure what that means really.:huh:

[mnpctech]

I hear ya.

Supposedly there was articles about some of my cases by pubs in France, Spain, & Brazil that I have yet to receive copies of. I gave up bothering.

UK pubs have always been the best tho.

[G-gnome]

I will have a look for you today G-gnome :)Thanks Gordy :-) . I sent the pics off maybe 6 weeks back, so not sure what future publishings lead time is.

Bill - yeah, the foreign mags can be a mixed bag. I chased and chased an Italian mag for a copy but never got one, after I'd sent them HiRes pics and had it in writing to get 3 copies posted to me; real b******ds to deal with once they got the pics ('PC Fun' if anyone wants to steer well clear of them). Second time I've been burned by an Italian mag (first one was a photoshoot I did years ago and the mag folded after I'd done the job owing me about $1000 :o ). Most professional mag I've dealt with was CPU in USA.

Mods do seem to make nice eye-candy and 'ooh aah' for print publications. I guess if you're a pro-modder, besides the free advertising, the pages also look nice in your portfolio.:dremel:

[mnpctech]

I guess if you're a pro-modder, besides the free advertising, the pages also look nice in your portfolio.:dremel:

I could never gauge how many sales stemmed from print media. I never hear "I'm buying this stuff cause I saw your rig on the cover of" Having your work featured in publications helps justify what you must charge though. And yes, a portfolio can help, esp in fielding sponserships.

I have no idea how many real modders even read CPU. Their special issue, PC Modder appears to have been temporarily paused. My guess would be weak sales.

[Gordy]

Thanks Gordy :-) . I sent the pics off maybe 6 weeks back, so not sure what future publishings lead time is.


No worries, had a flick through the only copy in the shop (Septembers issue) and the only mod in there was the car alloy wheel epia thing that was on bit a few months back, no sign of yours in there.

I'd imagine it will be in the october issue.

I will keep an eye out for you though.

[G-gnome]

I have no idea how many real modders even read CPU.You can't get it here, but I had it for a year with the sub they gave me and thought it was a pretty good magazine. I'd still be reading it if it was available here.:-)

Very well spoke, bro!

As for readers of CPU, I am an avid reader... tip to tail (over a week or so) as I get new issues. Just got my last issue with the Falcon NW rig for $9k!!! (cripes..)

Magazine publishing and wins are good resume' material that can mean the difference between talking about a mod, and actually building it for them. They see your past work, and they see rigs that have been published, they are much more apt to trust you in your design and implementation skills.
