Case modding

CBizzle · 07-15-2005, 05:51 AM

Alright well now tha I've blown some of the lights on my case (discussed in another thread

) I want to practice modding cases with this one. I have been reading into it for a while now, and heres what I want to do:

-Add a fan in front of tower (clear out premade grill and center it)
-Add a fan in back of case, on bottom
-Add two holes on top for switches (since I finally got switch to work after blowing some of my lights)
-Move temp readout to top of case for easier reading

I know nothing big, but this will just be a practice... So one question is, what is the best set up for fans in the case, and my other is, what other things could I do to my case to make it "better" in any way... Any suggestions would be thankful.

where's the individuality in someone else telling you how to mod your pc?

When I'm going to individualize something (pc, car, guitars, gainclones, guitars, whatever!) I like to look at as many pictures as I can of what other people have done, and that might get you some ideas.

Think cool, heat is the enemy, so get lots of air intake on the front, and lots of exhaust on the back.

Well I'm not asking what to do, I was asking best placement for maximum airflow, and any toehr ideas that arepossible to make on a case. I have seen many mods, but wouldn't know how to do half of them... Maybe this should just be a place for people to post their mods and that would give me ideas like you said?

If you know how to fiberglass, the possibilities are literally endless. I have done some pretty radical mods on cases I ended up selling with fiberglass.
