    Some of that kit looks a bit familiar.

    Unclerosco has done a few cool ones, especially the desk! Dont have any links but I'm sure he'll provide some if he sees this thread.

    The main thing you need to do all those crazy mods is not money or skill the amount of guys i know here on boards who went out and got everything they needed for a kick ass mod but never got to finish them ? the ideas where there and even the cash in some cases .but the main thing you need is time and lots of it so if your working full time and also have a wife or a girlfriend " or if your lucky eoungh to have both :) " thats when it get tricky even the simplest mods eats up a major amount of time and by the time you get to finish this beast of a rig all the highend specs you bought for the project are no longer the best or the fastest .
    And you have to keep the passion alive in your head most people jack it in half way through .Ive done a lot of case mods and ill admit none come close to what you see on the likes of bit-tech mainly because i have a life outside of computers Thank god .:eek:
    You should give it a try highwire its a great buzz same buzz people get from pimping there car " I´d say " start with a simple one first cos if you put to much into the first one you might jack it in before its finished .best of luck

    As DubDvd said... All u need is time, lots of time. I've a case i've been working on since Nov 2005 n it still isn't finished. Someday i tells ya, some day..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    Heh, its seems im in posession of quite alot of your old gear rosco ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 238 ✭✭HighWire


    Loving the ORAC3.

    I have started already, I bought an Antec900 and finished moving everything from my old PC case to that last night. Its a real nice case, loads of room and everything looks neat and tidy. I'll post pics later.
    Now I'll get started on the Qtec in Buy one / Mod one topic.

    I agree totally about the time thing.
    The wife was giving out about the dining room being taken over
    because I was transferring everything. Though that was only
    because she wanted to read her email.

    The Qtec is going to be for the kids, so they have the markers out
    at the minute picking colours for the case.
    I dont plan to go mad with the first one. I want to actually finish it soon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    Wimmin... Never happy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 238 ✭✭HighWire


    Heres the Antec900 just in case you havent seen one.
    200mm top fan
    2 120mm front fan
    window at the side.

    Now that I've moved everything across I can start on the Qtec case
