The Hardware :
DFI LANPARTY NF2 ULTRA-B
XP-M BARTON 2500+
THERMALRIGHT SI-97A
PROLINK 5900XT 256MB
G.SKILL HZ EXTREME (2 X 1GB)
2 X 250GB SEAGATE 7200RPM
TASK 450WATT PSU

The Case to Mod :
Grabbed a cheap nasty foxconn case from ETC computers.


Wanted to paint it in one day so went out and bought some quickdry spray paint. Both primer and 'april green'
Masked up the front and top panel because I wanted to keep the black.


Soaked the spray paint cans in warm water beacause I saw some other modder do it on some other site. Proceeded to do 3 coats green, 2 coats of clear coat protection stuff with 15 min interval between each coat.





END result. Part 2 will Include cutting window. Might add I've never done these things before.


The green looks a little better than in the photo's. Blame the camera. The green is darker.

It looks really good man, question though. Does that tape you used leave a sharp line when you peal it up? I ask because the tape i used green like that didn't leave as clean-straight of a line as i wanted it to but i haven't found any of the really small green tape where i live.

The tape worked perfectly. Very sharp edges. I looked at all of them at the hardware store. The 3M blue tape was way too expensive. This one was alot cheaper and it said on the packaging 'leaves clean and straight lines'.

That case looks really cool. good work.

Very nice and clean, get some green LED fans and some green cathodes and youll be set. Also, just a thought but you could put some green stripes on the front bezels.

Really nice work Dude!
Shoulda called it "Project Soylent Green" (Famous Charleton Heston Movie)

I was thinking more of putting White cathodes in to really show off the green case and the sexy DFI motherboard. If I had Green Cathodes It would all just look green. Opinions are welcome. Its either, Green Cathodes and Green Led Fans OR UV cathodes and green UV fans OR white cathodes and standard black fans.

I vote a couple of white no green because you don't want 1 color to stand out 2 much.

UPDATE : window

Drilled each corner to have the curves done. Proceeded to jig saw cut the panel.


Success! cut without too much drama.


Cheap window molding from Hardware Store. Does the job.


Window will be done on monday. The perspex at the hardware store was WAY too expensive.

Sucks gettin old doesnt it? We have to SPLAIN everything!

Nice looking GREEN case dude!

osama you may want to reduce the file size on that sig... just a suggestion

thanks for catching that before the sig police

You're lucky I was eating Birthday Cake.
Stubby old fingers were too sticky to type with.

Finally got a PSU for the rig.


Needs to fit in with the colour scheme so I opened it up and masked and cardboarded it up.



Sanded any rough bits. Primed and painted.

Green Grills are an awesome touch!

Really nice.
Keep them pics a comin!

Not to get off topic,but ever think of doing an NF2 OCDB w/2GB ram?

Oh and I love the project for the LP b

No green fan on the cpu? :confused:

Nice work bro!!! I'm going to have to come around and see that in person. nice work on the ccb1e as well!!!

EDIT: shouldn't it be CAB1E... Single Core ?

wow that looks freakin awesome if only i had the time and patience (o yer and skill) really want to see what it looks like together.

THE ULTRA GREEN IN ACTION AT A LAN : (fileserver )

Looks great, but like technodanvan said, you need some green on that cpu fan. Like a green grille, that would look nice.

Looks nice, esp with the white cathodes.

I do have to ask though, where the heck did you find a new Ultra-B???

there were heeps of them on ebay not so long ago. Scored one for like $80US or something along those lines. As for the green fan I will paint the blades of my vantec Tornado once I get it.

dang mate! awesome colour

Damn, wish I had saw that my SktA board is dying. And that fan'll look sweet!

Working used LP-B's have been going for $120 to $150 shipped on eBay the last 3-4 months that I have looked at.

Hale of a nice thread and great job man. Color me green with envy.

wow that is a awsome mod and looks great.

like it alot maybe some green paint on the tubing from the psu etc. and the green fan mod. awesome neways.

Looks great, I'd skip painting the HSF and paint the north bridge cooler instead...just my 2 cents

theirs 2 LP-B on sale for ebay one open box from NCIX outlet store (ebay store)

its 44$ and the bid are getting higher

lol paid 200$ for mine 2 month ago, NICe WORK log BLEACH

Paint the heatsink? That would probably reduce its efficiency.
