Here I will be first with a simple fan mod. I have a Coolermaster fan which is very quiet and a big server case with 3 loud fans so I am slowly changing all 3 to this.
I took an old fan with a bad bearing and gutted the center and mounted the Coolermaster to it. I had to then notch each side so I can mount it in the fan brackets with the two tabs, those with Thermaltake/Enermax cases will understand. The airflow is about twice what a round fan is through the stock grilleng. And trust me when I say this is very quiet.

aluminum oated camera case - took up too much space being useless, so i decided to make it into a case for taking to LANs- designed to hold 2 hd's and 1 cdrom as well as full atx motherboard and 485w psu

the current system has my p3 system in it for now, but im hoping to have enough parts around soon to build an athlon xp system into it

for those asking, also - the cdrom drive is still on its way, but i dont think it'll make it for the contest, mounts for it are already in place, though, i just need the drive

i cut a large amount of the top out and replaced it with this vent cover, designed so that the psu fans will be able to pull in the air, reducing noise - the vent was placed in a direction opposite the airflow direction, so that when air is taken in, it is directed at the components and not just straight into the psu fans

also, the psu waas modded to have a second fan so that i could make this effect possible with a greater vacuum there

(i apologize for the picture quality, my main camera isnt here yet )

mobo is mounted on a chopped-down removable tray from an old atx case i had, and hd rack is from an a-mid tower, all painted black along with the psu to match the inside of the case

Link building Company will help you | Simple Website Templates. Every great website and web design needs a starting place or point.

Well, here's my entry. "Jack in the box" The name is kind of obvious. The window design comes from the Cingulair Wireless logo I used for the window.

Note: I did not choose this design in support of Cingulair Wireless. (My family has our cell phones through Verizon.) I chose the design because it was unique and I liked it.

I did this mod in the summer of '02. I've got a case that is currently under the Dremel. However, that case has just barely been started. Expect that case to be done by the end of the summer.

The case used is an eariler model of this case which Monarch sells.

Mods to the case:

I've actually had this case for about 5 years. I originally painted it the blue color in the summer of '01. All I did was a panit job then. The summer of '02 was when it went back into the workshop and underwent more mods. I originally had planned to just repaint the case the same color as the paint job had gotten messed up transporting the case between home and college. I ended up cutting out the window. The case came stock with only one front lower intake fan. I changed that. It now has 4 clear fans. When the 2 blue CCFLs are on, the fans glow blue. The front top fan is held in place by a piece of black acrylic. Behind that fan is the harddrive. On the back I had to find a way to put a fan in there. Despite being held in by only 2 screws, the rear exhaust fan is very secure. On the top is a blowhole and 2 handles. I also cut out the restrictive stock grill from the only stock intake.

Internal mods are that the wiring is as hidden as possible in that case. There isn't a whole lot of room behind the motherboard tray to put cables and only a few could fit back there. I have also cut a hole in the motherboard tray so that I can mount and remove through motherboard mount heatsinks without having to remove the motherboard. (Sorry, no pics of the hidden wiring or of the hole. I forgot to take pics of that and now the case is at home with me being at school. 800 miles away.) There are 2 blue CCFLs running off a dual inverter. The harddrive is mounted in a 5 1/4" drive bay as to put it behind a fan to keep it cool. It is also turned around as to better conceal the wires.

System specs are as follows:
Soyo KT600 Dragon Ultra Platinum
XP2500+ locked week 42, 11x200 stock voltage cooled by a CoolerMaster Jet 7
1GB Corsair TwinX3200LL Pro series
Gainward GeForce 3 ti200 64MB Golden Sample
120GB Maxtor 8MB cache
450 watt CoolMax silent PSU
36x burner
12x DVD

And now for the pics.
