Neon Lights ? Whats the Point ?

[sniperruff]

actually i want to start a revolution of building a case with 2 back and 1 side 13inches fans. think of the cooling capabilities! it'll be better than a water-cooled system and also doubles as a window fan!

Because it helps you get laid






Seriously? I have no idea.

I dont want the kind of girl that is impressed by glowing neon tubes in computers.

What kind of geek are you? Who doesn't want a gamer chick?

I am not a geek. I'd just rather have a cool goth chick before a gamer chick.

Oh, that's hilarious, and SO true!!! You win. See sig. You<--the kewl!

NUGGS,
Personally, I don't care for a case that has so much neon, LED fans, spiral wrap and blowholes that the case has lost functionality and there's no more room for PC parts. But, I can appreciate someone taking the time to personalize a case; do this or that to it to make it "their own."

Aside from some cooling mods, like cutting out stock fan grills, my "modding" has been limited to building really neat and tidy case. Wire ties everywhere, no cables over the CPU or any cards, etc.

But I just bought my first window case and some CCFL tubes. I plan on putting in a fanbus, which is a very FUNCTIONAL accessory. I'm going for the "sleek minimalist NASA type look." Black case, all black drives, black fanbus with nice, small functional LEDs. In truth, the neon will probably be OFF 99% of the time, but it's there for when the guys come over and ask "what's in the case? Pentium 3?" And I'll whip it out, baby!

My thanks to mechBgon for easing me into the fanbus/monitor arena. He sent me a few PMs here and there...just enough to get me hooked....darn dope pusher!!

You kidding? I've been to UW - Canadian Geek Haven - and I've had the pleasure to meet several girls who are (1) into computers (2) extremely hot (3) and can kick my ass at arcade games.

True, but they still exist. And when you do find one, you hold on.

Bootylicious Chicks get hot when I describe in detail the difference b/t software and HARDWARE Raid cards.

/opens case
/pulls chick close

"See this? *points to raid card* That's called a RISC processor, and it takes the burden off the CPU when doing striping and parity calculations."

"Ohhhhh, and what's that thingee"

"That, my dear, is my Manly Joystick of Oomph. You may toggle it's stiffly goodness now."



Martin, you have no idea what you're missing.

 

[martind1]

i am not missing anything. i got a hot chick fiancee. knows nothign about computer so i never have to explain what I am doing to her. I go "does it work" she says "yes" and I say now go cook me f-ing dinner!"

But my p3 500 has a nice glowing blue cold cathode, which makes people think i have a fast computer.

Nothing like a fast PC.... But when you add a window and a few cold cathodes it makes it look that much better...



Why not?

Case modding is fun,also cheap and looks good.Look at a boring unmodded beige PC case then look at one modded with lights and windows and tell me you don`t prefer the modded one .

I am inclined to agree with this. also the whooo factor is nice too.
