Mod questions...

ok, what im planning on doing is in the ext year or so, im going to assemble my own computer, complete with mods. i was wondering what kind of case i should use if im planning on using a window. im looking for something fairly cheap, so i can have more money for other stuff. i am planning on putting the window in my self. speaking of which, where can i get an inexpensive window kit and what are some tips on putting te window in? any help is appreciated. :?:

First i would reccomend a Lian Li but they are rather Exensive.

Second i would reccomend and Cheiftec or Chemning case, a ATX Full Tower, because they are nice and big, and the provide a big area to mod with.

yah, i know that think geek does, but they are expensive, and the Lian Li one are too. im trying to stay somewhere between 50-80 dollar price range...But, i do have an idea... what if i took and put a nice 12 x 12 window on this case: http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/xo...xoxide/b302.jpg (http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/xoxide/b302.jpg) i actually found the site www.xoxide.com is very good for modding stuff you should check it out if you havent already...

yah, i thought so. on that window topic, are there any tricks or anything that will make my life easier on installing it?

[randy]

just take your time man, when you rush, you make mistakes

[Freaky_tweak]

thats a good one... i know that from experience lol

[randy]

I've screwed up way too many cases by messing up when I am in a hurry.

i have one more question that may or may not be answerable...is it possible to slow down the RPM of your hard drive to make it quieter? just a thought, cuz i have a REALLY loud hard drive in my room

o, tbw Lem6687, i like the idea of getting a cheiftech case, that is almost definitely my soceond choice... :P o, and another question for window kits...do they give you a template for the window for making the cuts or do u just trace the window itself...?

I think if this was possible you would end up getting bad clusters...

you set the window down on the case, stick a pencil in the hole of a washer (which is provided) and trace around like that. if you get the cheiftech check out the large window kit at http://www.case-mod.com it's huge and the molding is hard to fit in, but it's nice.
