Calling All Modders

nuf · Post by **nuf** » 11 Aug 2003, 19:54

Hey there
 There are so many that want to start something with case modding. Individually the chances of making a success of it are really slight with all the pre-modded cases coming out from the manufactures. I would love to be part of a company like Alienware where they manufacture their own custom cases and sell gaming systems. I want to find out if anyone out there (around Gauteng), who would like to get into modding, would think about joining up to start a company. For instance, I really enjoy the lighting side of the mods, but not the window cutting etc. If we could get a couple of people in the different sides of modding, we could get custom cases going pretty well. As weâ€™d start with no client base or potential buyers, we could get it going part time, and make some extra pocket money. Maybe if we get it going really good we could start exporting or something. Anyway, this is just a thought of mineâ€¦â€¦.anyone interested ????

yea, definitely. There´s lots of stuff we have to discuss before we get going. But like I said, there´s more chance of making a success if there´s a couple of people in on it.

CM, I saw you stay in the free state. Thats gonna be a bit of a problem to get the thing going.
 
 Today I just developed my stealth drive, got a new case to mod and rewired the HDD LED and CD-ROM LED with superbrights to face into the case to light it up when there´s activity....just felt like telling someone...

so there seems to be quite a bit of interest!!
 
 Cool

nuf · Post by **nuf** » 15 Aug 2003, 09:21

there is interest, but try get something together

Everyone wants to start on their own.
I want to start a new Alienware....I need people

LordRage · Post by **LordRage** » 15 Aug 2003, 10:43

Forgive me if i am wrong but Alienware make there own cases (dont they), I didnt know that they modded existing ones??

If I am wrong then sorry and please correct me!

The chances of everybody starting their own is slim, I would love to but I know the work that goes into modding a case and I dont reckon I could do that all the time!!

nuf · Post by **nuf** » 15 Aug 2003, 11:55

yea, alienware makes their own cases....thats what I want to do. I'll settle for modding existing ones for the time being, but wouldn't it be cool designing your own KICK bottom cases. I want to get some guys in the plastic moulding industry to make covers and stuff for existing cases.....it's a start

LordRage · Post by **LordRage** » 15 Aug 2003, 11:59

Make your own cases, WOW that will be cool, but also expensive I would think, have you approached anybody who does Plastic moulding?

nuf · Post by **nuf** » 15 Aug 2003, 12:10

not yet, that's why I was trying to find some other modders who would go in with me (they might have known someone on the inside). I always thought the front of cases where crap. The sides you put the windows on etc. The front has very little you can do with it. I want to get a mould for a great front. It would be a bit expensive, but if it's excellent, people would probably buy.

Anyway, I'll keep you updated if I get anything in the running

LordRage · Post by **LordRage** » 15 Aug 2003, 12:32

Why dont you PM Scarlet Spider, he does some work for people who do Injection moulding, maybe they could help, or know where you could go, But they are in DBN!!!

PS GOOD LUCK

Cool so it looks like we will soon have case manufacturers in our midsts, that is very cool, I wish the best of luck to you guys!!

Post by **Cameron_Losco** » 18 Aug 2003, 12:28

Good luck!

Maybe once you have everything running give us (PCF team) a shout and we could review a case.
Just a thought, not a promise
