Starting my modding! yea! 56k unfriendly!

[DanFraser]

Well, I am starting to add fans... but no cutting yet... Just gonna show off some pics! (even though they are awful, aint got a digital camera!)

Well, first of all, my 'desk'... if you can call it that, and it seems my webcam doesnt like my monitor...

The blue arrow points to where I sit...

The front of my case

The side, marked out for hacking to pieces! You may just be able to see the lines... The square box drawn in the corner was originally for an 80mm, but I have ordered a YS-Tech 120mm Fan (~135cfm) to go there instead...

The back... nice job on the grill eh? literally took a screwdriver to it to punch a hole in so I could get some big pincer cutters in there! No need for a grill as no pets or kids...

Just showing I have noise reduction (it works a treat!)...

Some fans still to go in (doesn't include the 120mm as that hasnt been delivered yet)

Inside of my comp... before wires cleaned up, and after

And last but not least, my CBK-58 HSF...

Gonna look good when its painted red no? And does that look like it will have good modding potential? Cooling should be good as well...

Starting to look good. Keep up the good work

Have you thought about folding your ide cables to help air flow. I've found that folding your cables also makes it easier to work in the case aswell.

 

[DanFraser]

Cool, I'll do that...

 

[Tbird man]

or you could just buy round cables. costs more but looks better IMOHO

 

[DanFraser]

Nah, ill do it the cheapo way, gotta save money somewhere!

What is that sound stuff in Pict0010.JPG

looks like its called "AKASA."

Were can I find it, and does it work?

 

[Iron Hawk]

Yeah the stuff is said to work some, though it may cause your temps to be raised slighlty,
Review: http://www.overclockercafe.com/Reviews/Akasa_Sound_Mat/

I believe it can be pricy, cork, or old mouse pads work also

 

[Iron Hawk]

Heatsinkfactory.com has them. (akasa mats)

 

[DanFraser]

I got mine from overclockers.co.uk... Ten english pounds... about 15 US dollars I think... It works, I can definitely say that...

instead of taping your IDE cables, slice them, and there is this tubing stuff that comes in 7, 10 feet packages, its black very flexible plastic tubing, i did it to my ide cable to my live drive (i already had round cables) but i like the tubing stuff better than the round cables. just a thought. oh yea the tubing only cost like 4$ for 10 feet

instead of slicing the whole cable, do just the ends so they fold over, and then just roll the rest of the cable and insert in the tubing.. saves exposing wires, even more so with 80pin cables..
