Zaku's Current Project: Modware

[Zaku]

As I was shopping yesterday at Best Buy with my sister, I came apon Computer mod kits. I was looking at them, and they looked like a fun project to do.

Modware.com is their website. Since my brother works at Best Buy, he can get 50% off this $69.99 kit. I have not bought the kit yet, but I plan to do so when my brother gets back from his snowboarding trip in Canda.

The steps look easy, and they give you the tools to do it.

First you need to cut out a hole in the side of your computer. (Not the motherboard side.)

So I will cut a hole in the side of my computer:

Then you would put in the glass window and lining that they supply to you: http://www.modware.com/kitblue.htm (First iamge, on the left)

Next, you will change your IDE wires, and floppy wire.

You also will install the bottom neon light.

Next is the fan. (Not the heat sync one over your processor.)

They also will give you a nice design to put over the fan.

I'll add pictures to this thread, when I buy the kit tomorrow.

That's really neat. I've been thinking about doing some thing like this for some time now. I've just been lazy and waiting for them to make a kit!!! Now, maybe I can do some thing nifty. Thanks for this post Brother Zaku.

Thats 1337ness right there. I dont get the point of it but it looks like itll be awsome once its done

Off Topic: Is it just me or is that Family Guy on the TV in the background? That show is the best

Exactly what I was thinking...

The more I've thought about it, the more computers and cars seem alike. I mean, you'll never be able to drive a computer, but in a lot of ways they're alike.

the first thing i thought of when i saw the neon lights was those ricers with the neons below their little cereal box cars

is it really worth the money is it just for a new look or does it actually do something?

Replacing those fat IDE cables will make some more air flow into your computer. Also the big fan brings more air flow.

So.. yes.

well, when i built my computer i had case mods in mind, so i bought a clear acrylic case, 5 red led fans, and 2 red cold cathod lights. i looks really sweet in the dark, but its hella loud becuase the acrilic is so ficken thick and the holes have to be the sizes of the fans -,- oh well i get used to it.

 

[TweaK]

Other than seksiness and airflow, all that other blah, not much other than to seksify it... Its like modding a car

 

[Forged]

or you could be lazy like me and just buy one

After all is said and done you have to ask yourself the main question, can you still look at pr0n?

 

[Metal Gear Flash]

that IS the most important question



....but now if you jizz on the pc everyone will know cause of the neon lights...black, and neon lights are a mans worst enemy

 

[DigitalElite]

yes that is very tru
i have found that out the hard way

 

[Misterwhippy]

Looks like all you need now is one of those giant ubsurd wing spoilers and a fart can muffler. a hood scoop would really cool down your engine.

Just kidding.

That looks pretty cool, even cooler on a computer with a black case with silver/chrome colored bottons.

 

[raDixGhost]

i wanna see the end result of this. Sounds pretty good though.

when they assembled my computer for me (parts bought there and assembled, plus windows xp was installed there, talk about less work!), they threw in that light shizit for free. the lighting (hooked in at the bottom) is mainly blue, and the fanlight is green.
