I need YOUR case for a quick mod! Help please :)

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 06 Nov 2007, 08:00

How's it guys

Okay here's the deal:

I've decided to do the next PCFormat modding guide on optical drive stealthing, but all the PCs i have either have modded, plexi, or SFF cases, so i don't have a case to do this on. This is where one person here comes in. If anyone here is willing to let me play with their precious for a bit, please give me a shout.

Here's the "criteria":

You don't mind me playing with your precious case
You have a case with regular 5.25 bays
You still have the 5.25 bay cover that covers the bay that your optical drive is in
You stay in PTA, or are willing to drive from wherever you are to wherever i am
You don't expect me to pay you (i guess if that criteria can't be met it's ok)
You want your PC in the PCFormat Magazine

So, if you match this criteria, give me a shout please

Thanks guys

EDIT: Oh, and if anyone is unsure what this mod actually DOES, here's the one that psychowit did. I'll be doing pretty much exactly the same thing. (hope you don't mind the link psychowit

)

Dude, you live like 23000 KMs away from me, so enjoy the drive

Well, the likelyhood of me screwing up on such a simple mod is pretty slim, but if i do, there's really no loss in any case because the person helping me out was never using that bay cover in any case

But do you just want the case or with everything in. In other words, you expecting us to strip everything out and bring you the case 8O
Anyway, I have an oldish handle KME chassis but I'll have to poke around to see if I still have the covers, I will have them in different colours. Wouldn't mind letting it go (giving it to you) but I'm over an hours drive from PTA

I know. But it seems that this guy has lots of shower hoses lying around (refering to the epi-something mod)

Wish I was closer to you Dae.... would have loved to give you my bro's case to stealth his drives.

DarkRanger · Post by **DarkRanger** » 06 Nov 2007, 11:27

DJV, How bout you wait till the 16th about, and then I'll bring you my CM690 so you can mod the drive. Then maybe if you can put in the LED's as well I'd appreciate that!

(I will supply the LED's etc.)

Let me know.

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 06 Nov 2007, 11:35

It'l prob be a P180 dude

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 06 Nov 2007, 12:03

You can use my Antec NSK4400 if you want to

I'm not using it at the moment.

Samaya · Post by **Samaya** » 06 Nov 2007, 12:12

I suppose you could use my wifes PC. Its not like she is using it or anything.
Only thing is the bay cover where the drive is, was never supplied. Your choice...

No no, you can leave the hardware in it.

Epiphany.

And no, why would i use shower hose in an optical drive mod?

No shower hose

Guide needs to be in before then

Oh sick, that would actually be perfect. I built one of those NSKs for my stepdad a few months ago, and i think that that case would be perfect for such a mod. You sure dude?

Mike, i'll STILL do yours if you want me to, of course. I wont go back on my word

Thanks man

But i'll need the bay cover

No worries though, looks like i'm sorted

Thanks everyone

Maybe because you get them on discount? I don't know. Just do it and show us that you can do the unthinkable.

I will be dropping off my case at your home tonight, will you open the gate for me? I can't wait to see the results.
