Compaq case mod

adcom32 · Apr 13, 2010

ok well i found this ould case someone was throwing away so i gutted it and cleaned it and was wondering what color should the lights be in this case?

the first step was that i wiped the case down with a soapy sponge
then i drew with a black marker where i am going to put fans

imma paint the case black

theres 3 colors of zalman i seen...redorange, black or white.....which one you got ? If you got the black one ill go with cold white led fan...not blue just cold white...it whiter than normal white ...if youre good in electronic buy some of those leds on ebay and change it. cool white led give other colors a new brigthness...almost pure contrast.

MohawkAngel · Apr 14, 2010

p to you or could just put normal fans and put those tubes inside ..it will comeout by fans itself

Can you give us some shots of the whole case? Might make it easier to come up with ideas. :toast:

adcom32 · Apr 14, 2010

im uploading them now.

blkhogan · Apr 14, 2010

Nice little find you got there. Some of the OEM cases can turn out very nice after mods. Need to get MKmods in here for some advice. The members here can come up with some pretty ass kicking ideas. :rockout:

I see a lot of screen mesh and paint in your near future.

adcom32 · Apr 14, 2010

yeah i thought it was a pretty cool looking case and when i get done with it it will a "kick-ass product" lol, it a pretty heavy case but i dont move it much anyway.

blkhogan · Apr 14, 2010

Whats your round about amount that you are not looking to go over? You will have to buy paint and a few other things.

adcom32 · Apr 14, 2010

35 bucks at the least got step parents giving me money for my b-day also just dont know how much.

adcom32 · Apr 14, 2010

im thinking 6 cans of paint including primer and paint(but was wondering what color should i paint it?)

blkhogan · Apr 14, 2010

We can work with $35. Got a got pair of 'tin' snips? First thing I would do is cut the fan meshing in the back out for your exhaust and power supply fan. Air flow is your friend.

Your going to do black on the outside?

That will work also. I think staying with black on the outside is safe, but its not my case. Go all shit ass nuts if you want. What about a shot of inside? What do you think about a "blow hole" / fan on top?

If you think it will look good im all for it. And im just going to stick with black

subbed. i want to see what the finished product looks like.

blkhogan · Apr 14, 2010

Lets start simple. I say first get the back cut out and cleaned up for your air flow, then move on. I like the side fan thought you have, would be very different. Lets let a few others chime in with some ideas. They are all going to say, Get that mesh off the back.
