Case modding and customizing

lynx6200 · 09-20-2005, 06:12 PM

Anyone know a site/sites where I can find case supplies, not really modding stuff, but stuff like extra pci card slots on the back, front panels, for the 5.25" drive bay, and stuff of that sort, acttual case peices?

Also, if you know of any modding guides, for things like cutting holes in the case to add items like fans and such?

thanks

Well, because many cases have differen bezels, materials, and dimensions...finding a generic parts replacement site/store is kind of impossible. What you might do is see if the manufacturer/brand of your case sells replacement parts.

Modding guides I know

Cool, thanks, but mainly what I was looking for in the case is a 525" face plate, to cover the bay, something like that I would think would be fairly common, but I cant find those little accessories anywhere.

Well, the 5.25" is the only similarity in alot of cases. The method if which it attaches is different with every brand unfortunately. My Enermax uses cheap plastic snaps, but i bought an HP case i used to have was totally different. Again, that might be an accessory you have to get from the same brand that built your case.

You probably can't find them, because there isn't a "generic" fit for all cases. And if someone is advertising a "one size fits all cases" accessory(ies) then buyer beware.
