what would you guys do with this?

[Mr. Chambers]

i'm getting this case here, for a new micro-atx system i'm putting together.. besides adding several blowholes and fans, and possibly a baybus to control them, what sort of other mods could i do.. i was thinking possible window, 2 front intake fans with cool lighting... the colors i want to use are black of the case, and possibly red or maybe blue... i'm just pretty new to all this hardcore modding..

btw i'm getting a dremel soon also, and the shop at school has a bunch of other tools too... thx for all the suggestions!

NP, man.

120mm intake in the bottom front, with a custom grill/guard.

Big window on the side, and the lights to show it off.

Blowhole on top, sized to match airflow.

If you aren't going to use that 3.5 inch bay for anything, front USB ports and/or light and fan switches.

There are a couple of ideas to get started :)

thats what i was thinking... if i EVER find this mobo, or a mobo with FSB adjustments, i'll be buyin it... for now i just ordered the case so i could pimp it out ;)

theres the board, btw...

also, how would i go about making a control thing (rheotsat, spelling?) or is it better to just make your own.. ?

you just need a potentiometer from radio shack or equivilent. put that on the positive line of the fan power, and thats about it. make sure it is rated to handle the wattage your fan takes, or it will be mighty warm to the touch. =)

hahaha, my Floppy drive broke on me and im sure as hell not wasting a whole $10 on buying a new one...we use CD-R's these days :burn:

So the usb ports and switches would be a good idea
