Beautiful Case Modding

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-see dept.

Miles S.F. writes "Thought you guys might appreciate this little project I've been working on. This is what happens when the left and right brain get bored and start talking with each other." Excellent case mods, entertaining reading, good ideas, and a solid site design. Worth a read if only to see the case modded to include a furby.

    Wake up: the web is about communication. If you conform to open standards, you aid communication, because it means that anyone can reach you. HTML, PNG, etc., all conform to standards (such as those produced by the W3C and IETF). Gratuitous use of non-standard formats is worth complaining about, because when enough complaints get made, the websites either stop using the nonstandard format, or convince enough people to create a standard for it.

  2. CD-Rom by sfe_software · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In the V3 mod, I really like the CD-ROM modification. I've seen many case mods, but I haven't seen this before.

    Basically the CD-ROM runs open, painted nicely, and under a plexiglass opening in the top. You can watch the disc spin. Very nice, something I will keep in mind if/when I get around to doing a case mod.

    I also like the heavy use of those $6 rope-lights. Much cheaper/more flexible than neon, though they do get warm (I have one, it's like 35 watts and runs on house current)...

    Speaking as a SCA fighter, who used lexan as anti-arrow face protection, the man's right. You don't want the wrong one, unless you really feel like picking shards out of your face when it shatters. ;)

    The most impressive thing is what he did to his monitor

    Except the fact that it now has like NO ventilation. Well very little anyway.
