Show us your box!
3 Attachment(s)
:naughty: Apologies to those looking for some kind of anatomically related thread, I'm interested in seeing people's PC cases, have you modified yours? Do you own an Alienware (if so, I hate you) or does yours take the award for the most ugly outdated case known to man?
Here's my pathetic attempt at making one of my cases look similar to a pikey's house at Christmas. (images have been compressed a bit too much, sorry) |
Re: Show us your box!
Looks good :)
I won't be posting pics of mine here as it's a beige box with a air intake hole on the front that I enlarged with pliers and the exhaust has had the metal grille removed with pliers as well (and I didn't tidy up the edges) :D It was last summer, I couldn't be bothered to get a Dremmel and I was in a hurry,ok? :D |

It can't be any worse than this

Re: Show us your box!
Mine probably takes the award for boring, ugly, outdated etc. But then again, I don't usually spend much time under the desk, so it doesn't bother me...

It might seem a bit OTT but since I work in the trade and get most bits cheap (or free) it would be silly not to use them... :D |

It's the only one I've found so far that works over my dual monitor setup. The far left screen is plugged into my router - also has a nice digital tv card so I use it as a pvr too :) |

Is that an "Antec" case? Looks the one I've got! NEC1300a DVD writer as well! You're not squatting in my 4th bedroom are you? Only kidding, I never wanted to put a coloured fan in mine; the case with the clear side was cheaper than the same version without it! But I thought, what the heck.................... (pictures coming soon!) |

This is my gaming machine, I recently(ish) sold a P4 setup and bought an Athlon 64 for work which I've moved into an old Chieftec case, turned out I could offset it against last years personal allowance and claim it back somehow against my income tax, the receipts come to over a grand but by the time I'd finished hawking the old parts on Ebay and to friends the actual cost was more like 50 quid so everyone but the IR is a winner! |

Currently trying to get an older laptop to run to a higher spec than supplied, to use as a mobile storage and manipulation device whilst out and about with my Digicam (SLR). I am happy with what I have done so far, just need to find out if I can up the graphics on it. I have seen adverts for Dell components (eg Graphics cards), but not sure if my one will take the newer parts! (Is it onboard or what? Have to ask around I suppose) I am happy with what I have for stills use, but need better graphics to play DVD's when away from home/on holiday etc. Current play back = cr@p! :confused: |

Okay, I can't believe how tidy everyone's computer desk is. My whole room looks like it has been bombed!!! :blush:
I think that's why I've been banished to a room on my own. Of course, this has only encouraged me to be even more messy. And, yes, the PC does look crap! |

The whole system runs in clustered mode to so if one goes down the others take over the service. |

Just made mine respectable before showing it off. Don't know the brand of the case, but I have a dislike of everything matching, hence the black case, silver monitor and beige keyboard. Oh and there's a rep for anyone who can tell me the artist of the red CD case on the right.
