Hi, my name is Jerome, I’m 19 and live in a suburb of Chicago, IL. I came to this after flowing a link from mnpctech.com. I started modding after I finished my first home build computer. I also love classic/muscle cars but not having the type of money for that I want to improve my painting/electrical/modding and make a computer I can be proud of.

Well i suppose i best introduce my self.
Im Roger, 20year old uni student living in Leeds, UK. I studing Architecture in my second year. (only 5 more to go) Ive been using computers all my life from about the age of 6 due to my dad running his company at home we always seemed to have relitivly new parts/new pc's comming in so that he could work properly.
Ive got a new case on the go at the mo and ill be posting it within the next few weeks in the mod log.
Im also trying to set up a Mod fest type event for this summer.(see the gen discuss board)
My spelling is awfull so dont scream at me. :wacko:

Well thats me. Hi all. *tilts hat*

Starbuck3733T

20th March 2005, 23:58

Howdy fellow Modders!

I'm an Aussie and am 20 years old. I work in a System Admin job for financial orientated software company which is incredibly fun!

I am just starting off with the modding scene and have got myself a dremel, angle grinder, drill and all the other little bits to help me destroy some steel products and electronic equipment.

I also have my first project underway and it is a big one indeed! The following pictures shows what I have up my sleeve to work with.

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/8774/dsc018252or.jpg

I plan to take off the panel facing towards you and put a top hinge swing door which will reveal the powerboard and HUB. I will post full plan specs in the appropriate section.

Hope to be around alot more in the future and meet you all.

Well I'm new here, so I might as well post. I live in san jose california (winter, what wnter?B)). I have never done a true mod, but I have done several small mods to my PC. My current project is to transplant the guts of my current PC to a modded chieftec dragon case (already underway) and water cool it.

Specs on my PC:
Pentium 4 2.8C ghz, socket 478, "Northwood"
ASUS P4P800 motherboard
1gb generic DDR400 RAM 512mb x2 (unmatched http://www.casemodgod.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif )
Western Digital Caviar 120gb SATA HDD
Plextor Dual Layer DVD burner (the really nice one)
PNY GeForce6800GT 256mb
Antec True550 PSU
Creative Labs Audigy 2ZS soundcard
Mods are only really wire management and a few lights.

Will post pics of the progress on the new case when I get a chance.

But for now I'll say that it will use a dual 120mm chevette heatercore mounted in the front of the case much like Pug's awesome work.

Awesome site you guys have going here.

Hi folks, token expat Brit checking in. Hmm lemme see here, 34, married, one kid, DJ, Wisconsin...blah blah blah... Done some pretty basic mods in the past. Usual stuff, windows, blowholes, lights and things of that sort but now I'm planning a mod that I hope will blow your mind right through the bottom of your rubber underpants! (Yeah right - look at the company I'm in) at least I think I have a concept that nobody has ever done before. Oh and in the unlikely event that anyone recognizes the name, many moons ago I used to be a senior review and article editor at the now defunct OCAddiction (now DevHardware).

Hello everyone,

I'm James, a graduating Senior from highschool in Northern Virginia. I've been in love with computer since about the time I was born which precipiated mostly from my dad's job, a computer contractor of sorts. I've been accepted at some technical schools for college and I hope to attend either Georgia Tech or Virginia Tech. I've been lurking here for awhile, but I've finally decided to post an introduction. I really look forward to finding the time to do a real thorough job modding my computer and I wanted to thanks to everyone for all the great ideas. Oh yea, I love classic Porsches and I hope to have one of those too someday :) .

Thanks guy. I was whitewater rafting in Idaho and the guy we were staying and rafting with (he's a nut, was a smokejumper for a good part of his life, now he does computers, go figure), well anyways he has a '82 European 911 SC. Any how I drove him to go get a pizza for everyone and it took us an hour and a half because he had to teach me to drive a Porsche, which I learned is far different than any other car, I was passing people at 120 in 3rd gear! Bottom line is I'll never forget it and I want one of my own.

Interestingly enough this wasn't my first experience with a Porsche. My Uncle (surgeon) leases a 2004 Carrera Cabriolet. I drove it around my neighborhood. Once.

/end Porsche rantMy dad was a surgeon, he wanted a Porsche. Well, his legs were too long. So no Porsche. Then he wanted an Aston Martin DB7... Was too much to have it made backwards/US compatible... So, no more DB7... So... He settled on a Land Rover, a Range Rover and a Lexus.

What does this have to do with anything? I once took the Lexus for a spin around the block and down a few streets.

Hi guys ! :)

Just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm based in the UK and been a computyer games programmer now for 20 years. Currently in Stage 1 of building my new rig - a dual Opteron 250 motherboard, with 2 6800 Ultra vide cards, etc etc. Stage 1 involves getting the system up and running, bedded in and stable before approaching Stage 2, watercooling it all. The motherboard does allow significant levels of OC'ing, and the Ultra's will also be OC'd and running in SLI mode. Primary aim is minimal noise levels, followed by stability and then cooling performance. I'll be using a mCubed TBalancer controller to manage pumps, fans etc. Case will either be a Lian Li V2100B or a Cooler Master Stacker.

As for the case, its nothing special, im goin for clean and understated, lian-li with as much of the interior aluminum polished to a mirror shine as i can. Then im making a rad box to go underneath it out of aluminum that will be polished as well.

If i do a work log it will be the first for me.

Just a quick note to ya all as I'm Top Nurse aka (Janice). I live here in Southern California and am considered to be a wicked modifier of all things electronic. I am a registered nurse and I typically hang out in ER's and ICU's when I'm not playing with my computers or my amateur radio gear. First electronic item was a Heathkit shortwave radio many moons ago. Now I just build exotic computers for myself and friends. For those who want a normal computer I say DELL.com ;)

Thats an interesting combination. Nurse / electronic enthusiast. Do they ask you to fix the xray machine when it breaks down? Actually I find that ICU nurses tend to be extremely computer and electronic orientated. I think with all the fancy technology we use computers seem pretty blase at times. ^_^ Actually when computers break down I usually tell them what the problem is, but they usually ignore me being a "nurse." I just laugh and laugh harder when they tell me I was right.

Unfortunatly not. Nursing is a proffesion which welcomes with wide arms, very wide arms infact, the ugly and the obese. There are some honeys among them but the ratio of lookers to munters is very small. However health sciences are also in my faculty and the physio and sports science girls are some of the nicest around. :wub:

Okay, it's going to be a Tribute to Cliff Burton.

Side panel: It'll be something like this. Excuse the detail of trimming off shit, It was done in paint. :Phttp://img62.echo.cx/img62/9075/clifemall020hm.jpg

The "Metallica" will be cut out on a seperate piece of metal, then glued on. Around it, will be cuts made with the dremel, to allow light in.
"Cliff 'Em All" will be completely cut out.
A window etching of Cliff Burton smiling, really happy. :)
Custom fan grills. I'm thinking Master Of Puppets cross. With the dog tag or helmet on it.
For a top window, I'm going to cut that in the shape of a rickenbacker. Great bass with a very unique shape. One Clff played (duh!).
On the other side panel, either
1) A large window of his tattoo on right arm,
2) A professional airbrushing of him playing on bass.
For a fan controller, I want to get a dead bass pickup (depending what type I get will decide whether it goes into a 3.5" or 5.25") and take the poles out, and in their places, put fan controller knobbies
Paint the inside black. Fans and cathodes will be red.

I want to somehow implement a set of bass strings, but I'm not sure how. Suggestions?

That's all I've got for now. Hope you like 'em. http://wizdforums.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif

EDIT: The red border may or not be there. It's just cut like that right now cause the Metallica and it are very close in colour and when I print it out, I want it easy to see. :p (Will be a black and white printout)

Hi Nuzzles and welcome to WizD.

It certainly sounds as though you've got your case planned out, and I think we're all looking forward to seeing it take shape.

As for including bass strings, it might depend upon which case you're gonna mod as to where they could go, but at the risk of sounding stoopid can't you string them across the top of your case above the rickenbacker cutout? :huh:

Nuzzles

18th April 2005, 14:32

lol I was thinking about that. but I thought it might look a little cheesy. I'm not sure, I might end up doing it. Waste of precious bass string though, have to go cutty cutty on it. :( I should really make them have tension, so if I take the top off, I can play it somewaht XD

I don't know what case I'm getting. :( Looking out for an old cheap one.

fillip

18th April 2005, 15:05

yea, fillip brings up a good point... Its happened to another member here, Vis. It's also a personal issue considering I'm seeing ideas being used atm that i've wanted to put to use for ages but havent been in the financial/or otherwise position to do so. http://wizdforums.co.uk/images/smilies/frown.gif

It hurts, esp. when you know it was an original idea when you had it, but c'est la vie

The "Metallica" will be cut out on a seperate piece of metal, then glued on. Around it, will be cuts made with the dremel, to allow light in. Take a look at Mnpctech's Harley Davidson tribute, he uses a similiar effect, though not precisely the same.

As for the theme, i've not seen a Metallica tribute yet but the idea of band tributes is nothing new. Now who was that modder that did an amazing Pink Floyd tribute case... http://wizdforums.co.uk/images/smilies/unsure.gif

As for disolving the pump, I presume it's the plastics that get eaten? Hmmm, don't think there's one that doesn't have any plastic in as yet. Shame.

I am however, currently planning a HTPC that should get pretty mod heavy (for me at least) and I hope to have a log going here within a few weeks. In the mean time here is a picture of my old project that is still half finshed and half a$$ed :(:

Hey folks!

I'm new here, and also a little new to modding! I pulled off my first one yesterday, with MNPCtech's 92mm blowhole. Turned out nice, actually :). Hopefully I can get to know some of you guys!

Hello, my name is WiLieR, and I'm a....wait a minute! wrong speech.

I'm mostly a gamer who has modded a few cases. I currently have a case completely stripped down, but I need some inspiration. I was led here by dutchcedar and his awesome little thing-a-mah-jig bad assumption. I'm no where near a mod god like some users here, but I can run over tennis balls with a lawn mower very well.:thumb:

Hey. Im new here.. not much of a modder, but i like seeing what others can do.
Pretty good with hardware, and hidding cables, but, i have very little artistic abilities, so, i tend to have dull looking, unmodified cases.. (no.. i cant even apply appliques correctly..) Anyway, Great forum you guys have going here, and there are some Incredible cases out there right now.

Aaaaw, Tish...your personality and charisma are your greatest talents! :wub:

I think Tish is good at Portugese (tell me if I got that wrong, hehe) and Fremmy is a dab hand at German and French. :thumb:

I think Tish is good at Portugese (tell me if I got that wrong, hehe) and Fremmy is a dab hand at German and French. :thumb:

Sounds about right since I believe portuguese is the Brazilian national language, presumably you can understand some Spanish as well?

Oh and welcome again :thumb:

fivecheebs

9th June 2005, 23:10

Yea, dont they speak a modded portugese in brazil. Strangely called brazillian portuguese?

i <3 brazilian jazz ..... some friends o f mine were born out there. They are brits but have dual nationalities IIRC. When we go over for BBQs they allways have brazillian jazz playing.

fivecheebs

10th June 2005, 11:49

The French phrase that sticks in my mind is "Le Chat et dans le arbre"

My favorite german phrase is "Ich mochte eine anderes kopfkissen bitte"

The only brazzilian portuguese i know is thier most hated insult apperently but i would not know how to write it. IIRC it means "your mother is a whore". Is that the most hated insult Tish?

The French phrase that sticks in my mind is "le chat et dans le arbre"

The 'Snowflake' title is just a cute name between us from another forum...it's because us girls are so 'unique', of course. ;):p

Oh, and welcome also to Tommy! :D

10th June 2005, 23:48

@Ju... aww darling, always sweet:wub: and not wrong, it's Portuguese :)

@Fillip... yes, I can understand a bit of Spanish, specially now that I'm taking classes of it :p

@fivecheebs... well, it's called that in the English language. Even so you don't really have to. Everywhere else is only called Portuguese ^_^ And perhaps the brazillian jazz is bossa nova? and, with the excuses from others, 'puta' is the word :unsure: But yeah, it must be hehe :) (I don't think any curse word is good innit?)

And let me welcome Tommy aswell, I'm not a newbie anymore :p :cool:
