Hello all,
This is my first post, so please bear with me.
After seeing all the amazing case mods you people have done, I have decided to dive into the world of case modding.
I have a test case that I'm gonna try stuff on before I do it for real.
My first question, and this is probably a really stupid question, how do you take apart the case? There's these things that look like screws, but aren't exactly screws, that seem to be holding everything together. How do I take them out?
I also want to clean up the inside of my case and make it look nice, but I need some ideas on what to do. The cables are all SCSI, except for the floppy cable. There's a 3 device 68-pin cable that REALLY leaves a lot to be desired, a 50-pin cable, and the floppy cable. Now I was going to round them, but apparently, it is not good to round SCSI cable because of the high data transfer speeds or something like that. Any ideas on this? And if it is OK to round them, how should I go about doing this? I looked at some how-to guides, but they all say to cut the cable and then wrap electrical tape around it. That's all well and good, but I wanted to make it look really professional, like maybe with cable sleeving or that glowing stuff or something like that. Any ideas and/or guides on this? If it's not good to round SCSI cables, then what could I do with the cables to make them look nice. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
