hi. welcome to me projlog. sup. yo. howsithangin.
okay this is another freestuff mod. hoping to turn out better than the warped keyboard+mousey. i worked on someones computer, and they gave me their spare
w0ot, yay!
pretty standard 'lil midtower
inside
so, its a pretty boring beige box!
here we go! first i cutz0r3d out the 2 80mm fan grills on the back. they were pretty obstructive, until mr. dremel stepped in!
i used the cut off wheel to take out most of the inside of the holes, then i nibbled more away w/ the cutoff wheel. i cleaned her up with the cylender shaped grinding/sharpening tshaped reddish thinger. i needa straighten out the bottom one a bit more, but i'm pretty much done with that.
so, i also cut out the top fan hole, but problems resulted, as u will see.
the problem i speak of is not the jaggedness of it, but the fact that it's way too big for the fan. well, in the next post, u'll see how i solved it, so stay tuned!
also, i h4x3d out a 120 mm hole, that was mostly already done. thanks to whatever chinese steel worker in a sweatshop who made this case. mr. chinesedudeinasweatshopmakingcomputercases, i thank you. it was pretty easy, cuz it was a better done hole than the others in the case. much less material to take out. u can see what it looked like before in this pic:
b4 (sorry for bad angle, i hardly ever take enough pics)
after
well, thats it for now. i plan to make a window in the top, possibly a colored, if any of you can find me some cheap colored plexi etc. there will be another 120mm fan in the bottom, im gonna figure a way to make the front panel look half decent, possibly some mesh. the side will have a window also, prolly clear. i might do a window in the power supply too.
so, here are current, and, i might add, meager, specs:
p4 willamette (sp?) celly 1.7
64mb pc100 (did have 512mb of pc133, but i put that in the user's computer, and took out this stick)
60g maxtor ata133 (ithink) 7200rpm, 2mb cache
un-identified mATX mobo, i think ECS, uses ddr, and sdram,
320watt Power Win (InWin i think) psu
cd/rw dvdrom combo, floppy drive
hehe look @ the crappy speaker covered in dremel dust
and the creator of all dremel dust... teh Mr. Dremel
l8r yall, God bless
