case design concept


So I was thinking about spray painting the antec case. so it looks like this. (if I decide to go with the desert camo  look). Or I was thinking dark red, like the car further down. Or maybe a combo of black and dark red.


(its not my photo, i found it here)

and then I would put in bullet holes stickers. like this:



and I would like to use the case holes and put in red led light. or put them in the bottom.
something like this:



and finally... 
somehow attach the bf2 logo, or the DVD-rom case picture.






Wifi + noctua fan

did two updates today. 
put in a plexgear wifi USB dongle. its just temporary. 
and put in a Noctua 120mm fan. it doesn't help with the loud noise from the graphics card however. :(








































ground zero


So I got my old computer back, I gave it to a friend, he gave it to his friend. and then I got it back. Kept it in the attic. now what was really a lot of fun to discover, was that the BIOS on the motherboard had this cool recovery feature that was still working. (it basically created an image file that was kept on the hard drive. So win xp, and all my old programs and drivers were there.
but of course I got this message when I booted up the computer.


the most terrible thing about this computer is that it is LOUD! I mean like a vacuum cleaner. And the noise is coming from the graphics card. So we are gonna replace that graphics card for a silent one. I was thinking of a GT730. I'm also gonna replace the graphics card, and the mechanical HDD for a nice SSD. and I was thinking about spray painting it in desert camo colors. perhaps add some more ram. and of course replace the stock cooler on my processor. Thinking maybe a hyper eve 212.

investigating the motherboard, I noticed I have 4 sata ports (NICE!). I wouldn't want to be a poo-poo head with only IDE ports. ;)

some more photos.
