She may not look like much, but she's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.
These aren't the greatest pics, but whatever. I've been called out, apparently.
Whaddya think?
PS- Happy now, Fresh? _________________ [ ]

Sorry to say, but most of the $50 knockoffs of the $100 antecs REALLY perform the same. Its kinda sad, but i've got alot of gienea pigs to play with _________________ JayDubya aka JW Jay JD ^> ﺵ |

Thanks, guys =]
Yes, of course, Jack, Dew, and my bubbler 8) Essentials.
Seriously, though, thanks for the kind words... I'd been working on this case for a very long time now (Goddamn low budget and ADD). I'm glad I finally have it in working order, and guys like you to appreciate it.
Yeah, it is just your standard Chieftec tower. It's fairly ubiquitous these days, but it's got decent airflow and plenty of room.
As far as mods go:
Painted front grille, bezel, drive bay covers and drives
Entire interior & front grille coated with blue UV paint
I took a cue from Togglehead and put black rubber studded material lining the bottom, the back, the side, and on the drive cages (it's actually the reverse side of the shiny blue crap he put in his)
Round IDE cables
All Antec 80mm LED fans w/ grills removed (you stick your fingers in my fans, it's your own damn fault)
4 channel fan controller (north bridge & video card, front intakes, side intake, & rear exhausts)
I went a bit nuts with cable management. There isn't a single exposed unused wire, and every exposed wire is loomed.
Weird-looking red alien lightbulb thingie on top.
Planned mods for the future:
60mm Stealth blowhole
UV cold cathode
Thermaltake duct (like 0F has on his HSF) on the side intake, pointing towards the AC
Changing rear exhaust fans to red LED fans
Changing side intake to something with a bit more CFM
Better fan controller
Blue LEDs in front
Speed strip pin mod for the T-Bred so I can unlock the damn multiplier
Hmm... I'm sure I'll think of more.

actually, Nate put in that slash b/c apparently my sig was too big. I'm gonna go downstairs, grab my bottle of Jack (if TH hasn't gotten to it first, I think he just woke up), maybe smoke a cig and play some HALO 2, and then come back and make a new sig.
But thanks for the suggestion, 2old =] _________________ [ ]

Well to keep this on topic, I think a new HeatSink would do you real nice. And.... maybe a lit PSU. _________________ "....Or as almost every word in a sentence; Tweak the tweaking tweakers!"

Well, Fresh, that might be a problem... see... Val comes home at 6...
and today's a rough day for her. I'm sure you know why. I need to be there for her to hold onto.
A new HSF would be lovely. I've got my eye on the Volcano-12. And I had a TrueBlue 250w, but it wouldn't be enough for what I'm running now. Besides, Jill stole it. ::shakes head::
I'm going to mod the PSU eventually. Maybe a clear blue case w/ an LED or three inside. I dunno. Either that, or a flat HyperLight. That will all come in time.
In the meantime, I'll keep you guys posted to any further modifications/upgrades. _________________ [ ]

Actually, the Jack and the Dew were consumed seperately. I'm just lazy and I left them there (next to the half-empty glass of absinthe).
Right now, it's Jack and Gatorade.
Yes, all submerged in air from the AC >=]
And I know I need a new monitor. I think I want a better vid card first.
The 9000 just isn't cutting it.

Yeah.... yeah. He'd try and kill me in my sleep. Besides, it's in the living room now. Ridiculous, if you ask me. Awesome, pimp, HUGE, yes... but a bit ridiculous. In a good way.
And Josh...
Thanks, dude. I was actually going for more of an HR Giger-esque look.
