Ghost2520 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I'm aimin to go to a 400 man lan in September and they have mod contest. I've never really done any heavy modding, but I do have a dremel in the garage. I need some smashing ideas. I don't know if I'll enter the contest for sure, but its definately a thought. So anyone have some really unique ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verran Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 A case made entirely of fans! ... meh, seen that. A case shaped like a big @ss gun! ... crap, seen that too. A case with every console you could imagine in it! ... bah, been done. Ah screw it, I say give up while you're ahead... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 You gotta think for yourself if you want an outsanding mod. A mod will only catch someones attention if they havent seen something like that before. Look for something that you really dont see done - when I did my top window/blowhole lots of people had the blowholes but few had top case windows - even less circular . I also put windows on each drive bay cover- utterly useless(except they glow red with my cc's on) but cool becuase very few people have them. Just think of cool stuff that you never seen before, or things that are fairly common and add your own little twist. Of course before you do anything big thats never been done before test on a garbage case - flea markets or thrift shops often have empty cases or obsolete computers for like 10 bucks a pop - perfect for modding practice and to salvage fans/heatsinks from. One thing I suggest is staying away from blue lighting - not becuase its ugly, but becuase it is incredibly common. The same mod lit by a more rare color will look much better then it would with the tired blue theme IMO. Good luck and post pics of anything you do!

RichMayo Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 a one-piece monitor/case a two-piece monitor/case, but they connect together for carrying a clear-case monitor (good luck!!) a case made out of modders mesh and metal straps a case made out of Erector set pieces (yeah, I'm old) a case made entirely of furniture grade lumber. a case with a car radio in it a case with a stereo amp in it a case that drives itself like an RC car. a case with a CO2 smoke machine it (preferably a nondescript beige case with lasers for lighting up the smoke) a case with a clapper in it (Clap on, clap off.....) a case with cloth sides and a telescoping frame -- "Oops, too big, let me squeeze this down a bit..." a case with cloth sides and an air compressor -- halfway through the show, inflate your computer. a case with "garage door" sides -- open them for extra cooling a case with a power switch controlled by orientation -- wheel in the computer and flip it upside down to turn it on... Stealth your optical drives with fake upside down plates. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Ok I've got an idea thats kind of been bundled up in my head for a year or so now. I doubt anyone on here is gonna steal it from me, may have already been done though don't know. I wanted to grab one of those old 70's brown colored Mr Coffee machines and slap a computer inside it. Just to make it a little more unique, have it water cooled and have the reservoir be the coffee pitcher. Eh? But dude that inflatable computer idea is freakin awesome! Hmm.... airbags infalte while red lights flash and sirens go off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vooduu Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 hey that mr coffee doesnt sound bad at all.you should go for that.and the reservior as the pot is pretty clever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I might have to buid the most ghetto WC setup EVER though. I don't have too much cash to throw at this. Anyone ever seen a hand crank pump instead of an electric one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone ever seen a hand crank pump instead of an electric one? 520782[/snapback] One handed counter-strike? Lol, the coffemaker computer with pot as res is an awesome idea. If you could pull that off and still look cool I know you would get a high place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
