i thought this mite be a intresting topic what things would u want to turn into a computer or what ur computer to have painted on the side?

I liike my current computer, though the insides have a bit to be desired. If i could tidy up the wires, add watercooling and a few lights and it would be great.

It would be even better if I made the watercooling kit myself, completely out of copper. I may be doing this next summer, look out for a build log and guide.

i like the shape of my case, but a window on the side of it would look great if i use the internal USB connections to put some lights in

What does your PC look like.

Anyway, the attached files are of my PC, taken a couple of minutes ago, note the dust and mess.

The 12cm blowhole in the top of the Akasa Eclipse 62 case (great case for modding, BTW) was cut by me with a jigsaw. The screen is a 20" Veisonic VP201S TFT screen. I have blcked out an area of the screen to hide personal info. The speakers are Creative T7900s and the silve usb goes to a graphics tablet.

8) :D

Edit, Oops, they're a bit big (dimensions), anyone know how to make them smaller? Oh, and any questions, just ask!

Edit 2: Fixed size now, shouldn't go over the edge when viewed at 1024 width.

Anyway, nice monitor, case and mouse, and i can tell that the USB cable links to a graphics tablet straight away

I fixed it another way, using some handy freeware called IrfanView, I suggest people give it a look.

Anyway, what do you think (and can we have pics of your PC)

i think the greatest computer of all, is one i saw on the internet. They got one of the old millenium flacon toys. Not the massive one, but one which is quite small. Then hollowed it out and put a mac mini inside. Then to top that off, they put a kwl webcam in the bit which sticks out where the guys wud sit, it is seriously kwl.

Yeah - lots of people do stuff like that - I've seen lego houses and toasters that are PCs. Mostly done with Via Mini-ITX boards (same size as mac mini board).

Though what do you want YOUR computer to look like.

i think someone should fit one into a giant coke bottle, or maybe one of the american supersize drinks, be a bit tight, but is supersize.

Yeah, that has been done. Could probaly use a Via Mini-ITX board.

My case isn't really that good looking. It has excellent cooling properties though, being fully aluminium, and it has a nice little light at the front. It's the Coolermaster Wavemaster. It's a shame they don't do a window for it, but I'm not too bothered, I like my aluminium.... still a buit of a shame though because the cabling job I've done on it this time is much *much* better than the previous machines I've built!

// Edit: images should work now, thanks to Mr. Admin!

Yeah, that computer is nice. Great insides, aswell (much better wiring than on mine).

Oh, the pics didn't work origionally, I always suggest using [url=http://www.photobucket.com]Photobucket[/url], its free and works well.

Here is a really *really* good article on case modding: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=14077&page=2 (is this link allowed?)

Wow, that is good.

Yes, you are allowed to post links to good articles and stuff, just not advertise sites in general (without buying the rights -> see the MarketPlace). Anyway, bit-tech is quite a well known site.

I love the shiny wavemaster with the watercooling that the guy from coolercases has done. Looks brilliant, probably the best modding I've seen. Sparks some ideas...
I saw an image once of a type of chameleon paint, or rainbow paint, whatever, on the coolermaster that changed its colours at different angles. Looked brilliant!

Yeah, that paint is cool. There's also a paint which changes with heat, which looks great on PCs. Unfortunately it costs upwards of ?500 to paint an entire PC with it.

this is my sys i need to do some cleanng and tidying inside though

all 3 of my computers

lol, i will have 2 in a couple of days, anyway, yd u need to clean it out, a sign of a homemade computer(from lookin here) is that it has to be messy

no shop ones are always mesy but they selotape cable to the sides and suiff

Nice setup there, with all the PCs and stuff (3 if I'm right). It looks like we both need to do a bit of cable tidying inside our cases!

Hey I just bought a green UV reactive cable sleeving kit for the insides of my case (not sure if I *really* need it as I can hide the cables shoved around my optical drive down the other side of the case or behind the mobo tray) ... I'm thinking of investing maybe ?200 - ?300 in high quality watercooling now... even though I said I wouldn't, this article makes me feel like I should. I've decided, now, after buying extra fans etc., I don't like noise any more.

Also, what's the spec of your machine Agent Chaos, it looks pretty sweet.

Yeah, watercooling would be cool (both in the literal and slang tense), though a decent kit costs a lot.

hmm i want my pc yto look like a turtle. that would be soooo cool!

Right.... That's random.

No i want my computer to look like a turtle. nothing random. and the beack would be the cd place. and the on button would be a foot.
