case mods for firsttimer

[Guest phungilax]

anybody got some good mods for a first timer.  Antec ks 282.  Already have 2 80mm fans.  Running a t-bird 1000 on a soyo k7vta pro mobo.

How about some paint or handles for that case? Though I would not suggest the paint job until you know you have the time and place for the work. My paint job has taked about three weeks so far, and I am a few more from being done. A couple of handles on the top of the case would be one of the easier things that can be added to the case. Depending on the handle of course, requires only two holes and two screws, unless you want to get into cutting the case and installing recessed handles.

The very first mod that I did was change my case leds. Pretty simple with guide. http://www.virtual-hideout.net/guides/case_leds/index.shtml

I just did my case and floppy LEDs out, piece 'o cake. Anyone have suggestions for changing out the CD LEDS that are the flat type that are soldered to the PCB boards? (the square ones that look similar to the resistors now used on boards).

[Guest Nocturne]

LED-mods and cable mods are the easiest.  I would just open it up and think about what you could do to improve airflow.

[Guest Binky]

How about something simple like a couple of on/off switches, and LEDs for the fans?

[Guest PostalBoy]

Round cables are great, but if you are a perfectionist like myself, tape and ribbon cables will never make you happy. Just go ahead and spend the extra $$ so that you can be happy with the way it looks. (Been painting my case for the past two months, lost count on sandings)

if you want to call it a mod, then you HAVE  to get it water cooled.  thats the way to go, if you have any questions, just email me, i would be happy to provide some info, rock on with the case bud..Matt

lol, case moding if fun for those who find it fun, can be fustrating for others who may not be use to working with medal and power tools. It can be cheap and it can empty your wallet.  true modder can mod a case cheap and have it look as good as my case that i have dumped $300+ in. I may have done it in less time (thanks to the kits i got), but it cost me.
