My Case Mods

I've created a lot of case mods and have built several computers.

Some were just assemblies and some are a complete work-over. 

Most of my mod goodies have been built from scratch.

Controllers for lights and fans

Tools and other stuff.

Modded Cases
Screamer re-build.

I've taped up with duct tape and and blue masking tape so the saw will not scar the finish. 

 I also tape it up to keep the saw from chattering.

Matt & I had the same exact case

Cheap & Easy, Chip Cooler

This is a very effective cooling mod

AGP card cooler My super AGP or PCI card and chipset cooler.

The top of the video card gets quite hot yet has no heat-sink

This draws air over the top of the AGP card and blasts the north-bridge.

Parts are: Perf Board, Fan, Old PCI Bracket from an old modem or what ever. Paint, screws and some elbow grease.

 

Mike's Video Card and Chipset Cooler.

My ATI X1950 card was overheating to the point it would just quit, so I built this mod to cool it without voiding the warranty.

 

Dead Cat with window installed.

"Run chkdsk /hairball now?"

I run chkdisk /hairball if kitty gets sick.

My case had a window on the top and CD drives look like crap

So I cut the holes and windows in the top of a CD-Drive.

I worried about this front duct and grill front case intake hole

This case front will be a challange

 

My Monitor Mod

The controller has an LED, sub-micro switch and 9-volt battery to power it. Velcro holds it in position.

This contains the inverter, wiring a 12 volt LED, and  the rest of the wiring.
