My modded rigs

[Smoblikat]

Hey guys, I have some pictures of two of the systems I modded. This is my first real venture into modding so dont expect perfection 😀

The first computer is named the virgo, it is a HAF 912 build with a blue theme:

The red glow on the front is from my main computer.

This is my most recent build, the infernus. It is in an Antec 302 and has a green theme:

My camera sucks, and it makes the system look more yellow than it actually is in person. It is a deep green, just like this picture depicts:

Here are the specs of the systems, and a few pictures of my main computer (its not modded...just HUGE):
Virgo -
HAF 912
Phenom 2 X6 1055T @ 4.0
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO USB3
2x4gb G skill DDR3 1600mhz
60gb Intel SSD
2x160gb WD drives in RAID0
Corsair H50 P/P with CM sickleflow blue fans
Blue coolermaster fans for the front, and a 200mm megaflow blue for the top
I have some 12" blue cold cathodes accenting the transparent blue acryllic window.

Infernus -
Antec 302
Athlon 2 X2 @ stock
ASUS M4A785GTD-m
2x2gb DDR3
60gb intel SSD
Stock cooler (soon to be Hyper 212 with green sickleflow fans)
Green apevia fans, and a side 250mm Rexus fan custom mounted in the center surrounded by green transparent acryllic windows.
There is also a pair of 8" green cathode bars and a 5 LED green "thing" pointed out the top of the case through the top window. O cut the hole, but left a flap of metal and just angled it so the LED could be mounted to point up and out.

This is my main system, the buzzard (all my computers are named after GTA IV cars):

Specs are in my sig, the case is a rosewill blackhawk ultra.


Let me know what you guys think of the builds, and if you have any tips/tricks I would appreciate that too. Im just starting to get into modifying computer cases, so some input from seasoned vets is always welcome.

Did you use painter's tape for that green/black one? I noticed that the green is a bit splotchy, but I wasn't sure if that was on purpose or not. :$

Yes, painters tape on both. Thats a very keen observation, the blue one has straight lines but I let the green ones get "wild", Its kind of a tribal look.

Smoblikat,
Those are really great looking mods. I don't do anything with exteriors, but I recently modded an Antec 302 and vastly increased the air flow.

Here's the link to the entire post: http://www.getand.com/modding/302/302airsc.html

You're window cutting shows you're far more advanced in your metal work, so I bet you could improve on my work. My second case's cut came out
better.

A welded piece along the cut edge would work well I think.

I also drilled a few holes behind the front mounted fans, and the increase in air flow is fantastic. I'm sure you could also do something with the looks of the square cut edge here if it shows in the window or to increase flow a bit more.

If anyone's still modding Antec 300 I did a heavier change for better airflow
