Cool custom cases

Sparticle · 10-27-2004, 10:26 PM

Thats cool. I like how it illuminates the whole case. I have a Liquid Cold Cathode Light, and it looks great. I can put it between the mobo and the drive bays to show it off without it blinding me.

I know what you mean. I bought a Thermaltake TR2TT and it is the loudest thing in my case. It actually isnt really that loud, but it does add a kind of whine that is pitched higher than anything else, so I notice it. And when I turn up the rpm, it sounds like a vacuum sweeper. What a mistake it was to buy it, especially for $35-ish.

Anyway, thanks for the link. You made some cool changes without doing a ton of work.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Yeah you are exactly right about that higher pitched noise that it makes. Turning up the RPM is not the thing to do with mine. I am sure that you will be sattisfied with the new one you are getting. Hey about the cathode light you have, I have one almost identical to that one. They are awsome but do make a lot of light (A LOT!). I also had to place it out of the eye's view because they really blind you for some time after accidentally looking at them. By the way, just in case you are wondering, the cost to do what I did was roughly 2 dollars. LOL.

2 dollars! Now we're talking!

Even for the glass and the rubber lining huh?

My light is not blinding at all. It lights up the case, and its kind of cool to watch it flicker and dance. I have a Liquid Cold Cathode simmilar to this one. Two good pictures: Newegg.com picture or even better at my computer webpage. Im not sure what you have, but this light kind of flickers, like one of those glass balls that has the lightning bolts that kind of dance out of the center. You know those things that you touch, and the light moves to your hands. Its really cool to watch, and it isnt blindingly bright, so i can show it off.

P.S. I (perhaps we) should have gone with Thermaltake SILENT BOOST.

Man this is a good thread! Haha! Your case is sooo much better though. It makes mine look like a featherless chicken compared to yours. Yet again I have to congratulate you.

Yes! I like this thread too. I am surprised there havent been more people posting in it.

Hey everyone with a cool case!!!(or at least you think its cool)

Feel free to post here!!!
Also, my 580 watt P.S. didnt come with my case. i got it separate. Now I have no excuse for getting it except for its power and pretty swirling colors. Not only is it hot, it looks like the inside of a volcano!!
