    What is the point of modding your case aesthetically?

    Some people drive Chevy Metros and some drive Corvettes. You sound like the Metro type. Me, I got a '50 Chevy that's been slammed, shaved and molded. Also a couple of PC's that constantly stay in some state of mod, whether paint, chopped, or water cooled. All my PC's are overclocked.

    Which Case To Buy?

    If this is your first case mod (otherwise why are you asking us?) use CHEAP cases to practice on until you start to achieve good results.

    what type of paint?

    Vinyl dyes work great BUT they smell awful, come in a limited range of colors and are often hard to find. They are definately an OUTDOOR project, unless you intend to gag everyone entering the area where you painted with them.

    Case question!!

    This drive mounting feature is on all the OEM cases supplied by Casetec. Newegg carried the Casetec brand before XMAS but has not restocked them. Which is really too bad since they were as cheap as $20. They are OEM for Enermax, Thermaltake, or roughly any of the cases you see with side...

    adequet cooling

    Try the Chenbro Spider. They run around $50 and use 120 mm fans. Quiet with good airflow.

    what type of paint?

    Try the Rustoleum "Hammered" spray paint series. Dries to a real hard finish, but be sure you prime any plastic parts or the paint will stay sort of soft. Any spray paint from one of the major brands (Krylon, Rustoleum, Dupli-Color, etc.) will do, just sand down the case and degrease before...

    Extreme cooling for extreme weather (formerly "Vapochill Case Cooler")

    Go to the Be Cooling web site (www.acquastealth.com) and look at the Modified 1/4 hp chiller. Use a water cooling setup without a radiator (just exit the hoses out to the chiller). A lot cheaper than a VaporChill. If you don't like this try a DYI swampcooler. Description: This is a modified...

    I am tired of cheap, crappy cases.

    All the Caseteks were great and Newegg had them for as low as $20, but of course they have been out since before Christmas. Only problem is they are heavy guage steel and hard to cut, if you want to case mod. Enermax carries them as the CS-10181 and CS-10182 models for about $75 shipped from...

    Aspire X-alien

    That PS is crap, do yourself a favor and go for a better PS. Pick it up it weighs less than a comparable 300 watt PS (Fortron, Antec, or even a generic CompUSA model). Look for a case without a PS and get a better PS. Believe it or not, but those cool looking Aspire Turbocase 500 watt PS are...

    Front fan- 120mm

    Any of the non-speed controlled 120mm fans will work well as long as you have a good fan controller. I put a high speed 120mm Sunon on the front of my Dreamer II and the whine drove me crazy until I got a good 3.5" controller. Now it is very quiet and runs cooler too.

    Case Coloring

    Try the "hammered" paints from Rustoleum. I have been working on a technique using a base coat of hammered with a overspray of other paints. Looks really wild. Try one of the dark "hammered" paints laying down a good thick coat. As soon as you finish it will start to swirl around as it moves to...

    Newbie OCer

    Curious, but I thought the Kingston HperX was having problems with the ASUS P800C? Last I heard look for any of the better brands (GEIL, Mushkin, Crucial, Corsair, OCZ) using matched pairs of DDR RAM. Look for fastest rating PC3500 or faster) with lowest latency (CL2 or 2.5). Just go for 4...

    Maxtop cases. Good?

    I have the SolTek SL75V2 "Purple Rage" and that 300 watt Enhance PS. With a Gainward/Cardex GF3 Ti200 it will not make it past POST, but it runs quite well with a Herc GF2 MX. So if you have, or are planning on, a GeForce 3 to go with that SolTek you better go for a bigger PS.

I got my 64 MB GF3 Ti200 Golden Sample from NewEgg too. Try the PNY Verto 64 MB GF3 Ti200, they have the same speed RAM only the board is...

    What's a good board for an XP1600?

    IWILL XP333-R is very nice with the AMD XP. Built-in 5.1 sound and very stabile. Use the RAID or just the additional IDE ports. Order the add-on SPIF if you intend to mix sound with your video, it has digital in and out.

    decisions about xp333

    First, I have the XP333-R with a pair of Maxtor 40GB D-740 ATA 133 HDs and I have the KingMax RAM too. Runs great! Had a XP1700 (locked)and ran it up to 152 FSB (1,672 Mhz) with no problem. Got a XP1600 (locked) on it now and I'll make a run at 166 FSB soon. I'll get around to unlock those CPUs...

    problem building new system (for first time)

    I recently went through the same problem. Swapped out everything and found out it was the CPU. If you have a friend with an AMD system try running your CPU in his rig. Until then, reseat everything and try again.

    Looking for suggestions on a good BX socket 370 board, any ideas?

    Intel has not made a decent chipset since the BX, in spite of what Old Fart says. That is why so many people are running AMDs, just check out AMD's rise in market share since the BX was phased out. Plus you are stuck with that sucky RAMBUS RAM and if you buy their RAM you are contributing to the...

    Abit KR7A-Raid Troubles :(

    Check the manual but I think to use all 4 slots the memory needs to be registered DDR sticks. Of course that does not explain why it does not like your when using 2 or 3 slots.
