    As for case modding, you know... just to know and all, perhaps "steal" some ideas. Not like I even have the tools but it's kind of interesting anyway. Any pictures to show off or stories to tell? As for OC, boast your best. ;)

    My best 'OC' was on my friend's computer that I built for him. He has a P4 Prescott @ 3.2GHz. I was able to bump it up to 3.6GHz without having to change out the stock HSF...though, I had to install 2 extra case fans to keep it cool. :bad:

    I currently have my laptop *under* clocked just a little...running at a flat 3GHz, to save a little battery life and reduce heat a bit without taking a performance hit.

    As for modding, I've cut holes for fans, windows, or both on both side panels as well as the top. I've made a custom stainless housing for an external water cooling system. I've done custom paint jobs, installed cold cathode lights, LED scanners, custom fan controllers, and installed "stealth drives". I don't have any pictures as everything I've don was all pretty basic.

    When I get enough $$$ to buy my next computer, I'm going to make a guide with many pictures on how I built it, and the mods I may do to it...but right now, the case I'm looking at is so sweet, modding it would ruin its appeal. But a "stealth drive" or two might end up on it. :thumb: :rolling:
