5614 Posted November 21, 2004 Author Posted November 21, 2004 hardware: the physical components of a computer system mods: aka modifications (i dunno how to define that - you know what i mean!) so what im trying to get at is hardware, this thread is not about software mods, patchs, add-ons or coding, purely the physical case, components, wires etc.

5614 Posted November 21, 2004 Author Posted November 21, 2004 i thought it looked quite cool, there are thousands of cases which you can get though, im sure you'd fine one you liked. to me, if you have the money they're quite cool things to have, but as it is ive just got a r/c ferrari enzo (which is f***ing fast) and im building up to another 512MB RAM stick, so im ok with my default black/grey case (dell).

mossoi Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 I've got a couple of modded PC's. I'll take some pics later and post them here.

MolecularMan14 Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 Never really understood mods. I mean, sure, they're cool looking, but why? I have a tower with like 8 ports in the front, 4 USB, a USB hub like like 8 more, and Ive got 1024 ram with 3 more open slots, so Ive got plently of room to expand. I wouldnt mind having the ugliest box ever, but as long as it runs like I want, I would love it. "It's what's on the inside that counts"

Lance Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 I saw this picture of a guys case with a nixie clock in it. But it wasnt mine.

It's not much different to using desktop wallpaper - it's just something that some people like to do.

Tesseract Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 Anyone have a really good processor? Or a better question what kind of processor do you have?

5614 Posted November 21, 2004 Author Posted November 21, 2004 ive got an intel pentium 4 2.53GHz processor, so nothing special really. mossoi, do you not have any CD drives, or DVD, or floppy or zip drives? because from those pictures of those cases, it doesnt look it.
mossoi Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 Yep - there's a Cd Writer in there - bottom of the 5" bays. It's just hidden behind the blanking plate. No floppy though, got rid of those a while back.

It's not much different to using desktop wallpaper - it's just something that some people like to do. I mean, I understant why people do it, but for me, it's just not really necessary. My computer is beneath my desk, so it would be just about useless. I might get a water cooler system in there, but my box doesnt bother me. Sure, if I won something like a free new box, I wouldnt turn it down, but for the mean time, mine doesnt bother me.
5614 Posted November 21, 2004 Author Posted November 21, 2004 its just a cool add-on which looks good. its like whats the point in neon lights on your car? it looks good, doesnt save money and doesnt make the car go faster or improve performance? it all comes down to looking good and having the money to do it.
Sayonara Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I considered modding my PC, but to be honest I'm more bothered about what's inside it.
