Seriously thinking about the wtx case that Joe hacked up. I really want lots of room in a case after working with a AT case converted to atx for so long.

For me, I have an Antec SX1240 thats getting the works. Watercooling w/ chiller and dye, UV cold cath, normal visible cold cath, window, glowire, you name it. Hardwares gonna be a AXP 1800+, KG7, and 3x36GB SCSI drives off an Adaptec RAID card. Still deciding wether to cut a design or cut a window and use an applique. Also gonna give it a nice paint job. Any suggestions?
After that, my current box is being gutted and moved into a Lian-Li PC30 for lan party use... still thinking about that one. Its probably gonna be pretty basic... a few handles, maybe a small cutout or window. my current box: (more than 1.5yrs old... this was from the days when 800 was considered blazing fast, all normal processors used slot cartridges and the concept of a window and light in *a computer?* was relatively rare Here it is: [img]ftp://ihelix.net/overall2.jpg[/img] [ 11-01-2001: Message edited by: IronHelix ] |

my next will prolly be some el-cheapo case for my sister. i'm thinking "gay pride" motif and some feminazi slogans. she'll love it. then i'll hack the side out, put in a window, lights, and stealth the dirves. gotta have it done by april for her bday tho, so i may have to stop before watercooling....hrmmm

hehe, I wouldn't go to that trouble. Cut a hole in it for a window, and mount a pink neon in there. Thats about the limit of what I'd do

also, any una style fans at the bottom? |

my newest victim is a version of an Inwin s500. very sturdy and modding friendly, small yet it has plenty of room inside and 4 5.25 bays. makes a great lancase with the ports on the front. 48.00 w/ a 300 watt sparkle. http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merch...tegory_Code=C1
going to put a ahndle on the top+straps and the front is begging for a blowhole it's a great case..I have a friend who has bought 3 and he has no problems w/ 3 60gig HD's in RAID 0, 3 5.25 drives 2 3.5 drives a modded exhaust, 120mm blowhole and an Alpha PAL8045. you can barely hear anything...quiet as a mouse.

$48 is a damned good price for such a nice case with a 300w sparkle
anything inwin makes is good quality, but the looks of their cases is damned good too, and they don't skimp on drive bays either. |

This is my first watercooled case that I will be moding.
My goal is to make this basicly a silent machine. My current system consists of 8 fans and a SK-6 which is loud as a jet. I plan to use all varible speed fans with heat sensors built in to lower the sound when there is no load on the cpu. |
