Was looking at adding a pci-e video card to my new system build today, and ran into a problem. The motherboard I'm using has onboard nvidea 8200 graphics, so I've had no problems using that up to now, but always had the idea that I'd like to have a dedicated graphics card. Today I tried...

Not that anyone likely noticed, since I'm not the most vocal person on this forum, but I was MIA (missing in action, for those of you too young to know what that means) pretty much all of last week. Why? Oh, a little thing, really.....it seems the rental house I lived in had a natural gas...

Did a search for this case here, didn't really see much for it, hoping someone has one (or has worked on one) and can answer my questions. The case in question is the Shuttle SS21T SFF case. Two questions I have: 1. Shuttle says that the power supply is replaceable, but I've also seen...

In case anyone's interested, and as long as the mods decide to keep it in the case mod area, I figure I'll post this....... Every so often, I see a thread concerning what full tower case to buy, which is the primary reason I'm posting this here. Needless to say, full towers usually cost a...

Okay, I could put this in the "hot deals" section, but since mostly modders would be interested, I figured I'd put it here. If the mods want to move it, please feel free. :) Saw this today, in the Lowes ad that came in the mail. Dremel 50-piece rotary tool kit, normally priced at $69.97...

Hey all, I saw this the other day, when I was putting through an order at PCH Cables (very highly recommended online store, I ordered on Tuesday evening, and got my order today [Friday] :D ), and thought I'd pass it along to everyone here. Have you ever had the need for a right-angle molex...

Hey all, got a blue Aspire X-Qpack case a while back, when Xoxide had 'em for cheap on their sunday X-hour sale, and had built myself a computer that I think I'm going to use for an HTPC in my bedroom. I liked the case a lot, and didn't have any troubles with it, but didn't care for the way...

I'm hoping someone has one of these laying around, from an old/dead mobo, that they'd be willing to part with cheap. Bought a Shuttle MN31N mobo off of ebay a while back, and finally got around to using it on a project.....until I dicovered that it didn't have the I/O backplate (shield) with...

Gee, I wonder if the release of this case has anything to do with the upcoming release of the new Batman movie??? ;) Might be good for a kid's computer, but anyone showing up at a lan party with one of these would probably leave with a wedgie!! :D

Xoxide is offering free shipping on ~2 dozen cases for the next few days. Check it out here. Prices range from $28 to $90, all pretty much pre-modded (i.e.--fancy shmancy) cases. Hot deal for some, not so hot for others, YOU decide. I picked up one of the X-handler cases, in basic black...

Big time clone!! Chenming MATX-118 About $10 cheaper than the Aspire X-Qpack case that was discussed here before, but with one big difference. Power supply included with it is a 300w, versus the 420w p/s that's in the Aspire case. Other than that, they're virtually identical, from the...

Saw this tonight, and thought I'd share. The ultimate gaming chair (scroll down ~1/3 way down the page, video will load). If you don't want to watch it on the page here's the direct link . Dang, wonder how long before someone here builds themselves one of these?? Or is that from a...

Saw this tonight at Xoxide, and thought I'd point it out to my fellow modders. Definitely some very interesting possibilities for modding, though (IMHO) a pretty great case as stock. Check out the 2nd and 3rd row on this page, and see the Qpack. Some kick-butt features to this thing, if...

Man, how could you not love a case like this, especially with the quality of Lian Li behind it? :eek: :eek: :eek: April fools!! bwahahahahahahahaha!! :rolleyes:

Saw this just now, at Ben's Bargains. Looks like a decent quality aluminum case . Cost is $35 - $5 coupon sc5off0314 (expires 3/14) + $15 shipping = $45 shipped. Nice features: 1. removeable motherboard tray 2. good cooling (1x80mm in front, 2x80mm in side, 1x80mm in back).....looks as...

Okay, so maybe it's a little TOO good for that mod!! LOL X-files!! Price is good, tho.....and it might lend itself to modding. Anyone see it anywhere else, where we might get a pic of the inside of the case?? Even shipped, this ought to come out to no more than $40. :cool:

Okay, it's over a month into the new year, and I haven't heard too much from you guys about how fugly any cases are....... So I present you with this!!! If ya don't feel like clicking on the link, here it is, in it's FUGLY glory :p http://store1.yimg.com/I/amamax_1831_5809795 What...

Hey all, wanted my fellow modders to know about the last decent sale out there, looks like some good stuff for those of us that like to mod. :D Check out their pages for: computer cases fans & fan grills power supplies speakers miscellaneous stuff or, all of it at once :)...

Thought this was cool enough to share with my fellow modders here. SVC is calling this a "DIY (do it yourself, natch!) power supply unit modulation kit", and you can see 'em here . Didn't really take a good look at it, to see what all you have to do to "modulate" your power supply, but they...

Good stuff at this reseller, and I can definitely recommend them as well. 10% off applies to everything on their site except cases. Details here . If you missed out on the SVC clearance a while back, check out these guys. Good selection of items, including $1 IDE and $0.50 floppy...

Okay, not sure if anyone else will consider this a great deal or not, but Hardware Cooling is offering free shipping til 6am EST on 12/29, with code coolingfan . If you're looking to buy a case, check 'em out, since they carry a decent selection. They also carry a reasonable selection of...

Got my weekly promo e-mail from 3B-tech tonight, and spotted THIS!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: OMG......there's no way that's not the UGLIEST case in the universe!! Okay, I know that thread died a while back, but this was just too ugly NOT to share with all my [H] buddies!! LOL :D

Not sure if this is appropriate for this forum, so mods feel free to move/remove the post as you see fit. SVC is having a clearance sale for Veteran's Day, including some items that can be used in case modding, AND some cases that (IMHO) could be good cases for modding....CHEAP!! Clearance...

Sorry, I couldn't find the original thread, and hopefully the mods won't mind my posting this here, but I came across two good binocular deals today, on Ben's Bargains, and wanted to pass them along: Bushnell Falcon 10x50 Wide Angle Binoculars (if that doesn't work, just try doing a search...

Hi everyone, I had a wicked idea for a mod the other day (is there any other type of mod idea?? LOL), and had most of it figured out in the first few minutes......then got stumped when I got to the video feed from the video card to the monitor. Hoping someone here will give me an idea of how...

Thought I'd post this here, to see what everyone thought about my first "real" mod: http://msliddle.tripod.com/scannercomp/scannercomp.html Still a little work to do on it, but it's good enough to post. :) Replies welcome here, or to the e-mail addy I have on the website.
