I need a case modder in the NY area . Preferreably the LOng Island are to help with case mods . I can do the most awesome paint jobs on cases that look like custom motorcycle tanks. See this thread case painting

Off subject, but was it tough to paint all the little detail on the front of your cases? I'm referring to all the little buttons, empty drive bay covers.. Was it difficult painting the plastic?

TIA,

Sal
 
you should try to get in touch with NEWKILLA. he does case mods and he's in suffolk (about 30 minutes from you). i know he is swamped with work and mod requests but maybe he can do what you need...
 
thanks guys

are you being Facetious? if not this was a proto type so I didnt know what to expect with the type of paint I was using. The buttons shoild be removed before painting or taped very carefully. otherwise if you paint ocver thwe buttons, you will end up with buttons that are stuck.

nice website and nice workshop. I wish I had a shop like that to work in , instead of a little corner in my appartment. Of course the painting is done at my friends shop in a spray booth with the high power drying lights and exhaust fans and all that good stuff.
get in touch with me high tech
 
damn nice paint job...i tried to paint my computer but did a very crappy job...dust and dirt got all over it while drying, didn't know about the clear coats...well currently scratching off the paint and sanding the surface and getting my neighbor to spray paint for me... Damn i thought it would be easy, turned out that spray painting requires a lot of skills and not just spraying

<< are you being Facetious? >>


No! Not at all. I quite admire your work. I have a friend that professionally paints and she's going to try and paint a case for me. She's never painted a computer case before and I want to cover all the bases before she starts painting my case. BTW.. She paints Harley's for a living, so she's pretty well versed with painting flames. 😉

No Doubt! she should be well versed in flames if she paints Harleys Salvador.
Good luck with your case mod.Remember take your time and dont rush it.

Im finding this out 00aStrOgUy00, the computer skills, overclocking and hardware skills, along with mechanical and painting skills aren't the hardest to obtain, especially when forums like anandtech and the other hardware sites exist out there these days. I think that search engine positioning is the skill to get down...tour web prescence needs to be so that when somone does a search, your site will be on the first or second page of results. I guess one could pay several hundred dollars to a service several times a year to get listed on directories such as Yahoo. But that is done by a human who enters your site, inputs the keywords and content to a database.
There are also automated Bots or spyders out there, Meta search engines if you will...that scour the net when they get a query. This is where your Title, Keywords, Content,and meta tags come in to play. You can easily overdue your meta tags and never be seen by one of the search bots. If you repeat a keyword more then three times you may be overlooked by one of these spyders. Or, if you add to many keywords under your meta tags, you may get rejected that way by one or more of the different types automated search engines. There's a virtual plethora of information at our disposals in a matter of milliseconds out there to help us with things like that on the WWW.

2 and half years ago when anandtech was running on the old servers before they got there new ISP and clusters, there weren't many places to go to learn about over clocking like there is today. I had to use my 56k modem and go to our beloved and often overtaxed anandtech forums that sometimes seemed like the threads were never going to load to pick up any tips and tidbts of inforamtion on tweaking my underpowered, non accellerated onboard video to learn about OpenGL and Direct 3D on anandtech and other sites.Not to mention getting my only tech support at the time as a newbie.I could only find a few resources out there besides the 24 hour helpdesk newsgroup😉 to get my propritary IBM Aptiva w/350 MHz AMD k6-2 w/an onboard rage pro chip to play Quake and Quake2 on gamespy with decent grahics in open GL. When I found anandtech Boy I finally learned enough that I new what to do to enable the opengl drivers and change the open gl system file to enable Open GL on my IBM Aptiva with a rage pro that had four megs of ram. Needless to say the rendered image was a very dark image due to low memory and bad drivers, but it was an OpenGL Image!. Woohoo!... I can still remember the first time I saw those textures appear in Quake 1! It was the most awesome graphics I ever saw, albeit, I had a 4 meg rage pro with a very crude driver, but it was my first taste of 3D Gaming. The fact that it was multiplayer FPS gaming made it even better!Thats when out of necessity of improving the performance of my computer to be able to play 3d games I looked for hardware sites. Hence my quest for knowledge of overclocking and tweaking was born. What better way is there to learn about computer hardware and architecture then trying to over clock a propriatary machine like my aptiva.When I managed to find a site with something to offer, the sites had limited links if any to other similar sites.
Eventually I did get my 350 amd k6-2 to run at 400 mhz.

Now case mods seem to have become all the rage!
You can find sites all over the net,...new ones everyday.

Before case mods, it was water cooling and peltiers.
The case mods were a part of the watercooling out of nescesity, crude though interesting and clever.
I remember when there weren't any online stores that sold complete kits to water cool your systems. Now you can choose all different flavors at several websites. I have to admit there were some very resouceful extreme overclockers out there that put together some very clever designs.
Now you can find complete active cooling kits with everything you need to water cool your system.The hardest part is not building a webpage or running it on your own server on your own broadband connection at home, while trying learn how to do DNS and host headers so you can run more then one domain on the same IP address....the hardest part is Search engine positioning and getiing your web pages/sites recognized by the automated spyders that scour the internet when a search is done. I think I said that already...its getting late and I am working on way to little sleep these days. so.....
