Old mods.

Any one got any photos of projects from the past?

In 2004 I decided I wanted to do what the creator of the Rotten Apple did. They basically used a G4 quicksilver case and cut it about to fit PC hardware. I decided on a G3 case that was $40 as an entire computer and project RadioMACtive began.

I never did quite get it finished because I ordered red and green neons but they sent me four pink ones (which looked totally stupid) and I never did finish the wiring properly or fit the spinning red light.

But, here is how far I got and to me it was awfully far. I have never taken on a project of such magnitude and planning was pretty much impossible due to never knowing if something would quite work until you tried. Painting took about two weeks due to all the wet sanding and smoothing but by far the most difficult part was getting the motherboard in and making it line up without fouling the PSU when you swung it closed :)

Yeah. I daren't post pics of my first mods :D

I will say though I am more into doing things that aren't possible beforehand. Cut and shuts and so on. If I ever find a Dell XPS 730 chassis cheap enough I am going to do the upside down mod to put a normal ATX board in.

I'd love to build my own case tbh.. 100% original but I just don't have the tools or the press break or anything like that. There's some kind from Sussex on the Mod Bros forum and even though he hasn't been around for ages really does come up with some incredible creations.
 
Unfortunately I don't have any custom case mods, just built PCs. :( That Heaven and Hell build is gorgeous. I did however butcher the side of my current case because the side fan was drawing in so much air it was creating a whining noise. :P
