Modding the P190 - Overclock.net

Dragoon · 07-01-08

I want to add a "my own"

touch to my P190 but I'm kind of dry on ideas. I'm currently thinking in painting case in black, pretty much like the P182SE. (If anyone has done something like this to a case I'd really appreciate some tips, and what material to use since this will be my first)

But what I'm here to ask is, if anyone could give me some tips/ideas of a nice lighting (including CCs, neon strings,etc), fans, and cables to use.

I don't want to drill nor change the structure itself, the most I will probably have to do is enlarge the bottom chamber opening to be able to remove my Zalman PSU, as it was a REAL pain to slip it in since it's larger than the usual.

Cheers!

*Edit*

Oh yeah I forgot to add a photo.

Sorry about the horrible cable management, I will definately fix that when I'm done modding.

Very nice man

How about a blue or red normal/sound activated light? or some of those neon feet to make it look like it's floating or something lol

Oh yeh, could you give me some suggestions for mine?

Yeah, I've always had good experiences with ASUS hardware, my previous system had a M2N32-SLi paired with a 7950GX2. Thats a Striker II Extreme 790i Ultra.

Thanks, I'm going to paint the case black, pretty much like the P182SE (commonly said bumper black or so). I've seen alot of blue systems, and my previous one was blue modded so. I was kinda thinking in red. After the black finish I think it would look great. Neon feet? That sounded nice. Where can I look at some?

About your Antec 900 you have any pics or a post around I could take a look at?

Those feet look nice, although they look a bit fragile. I wonder if they'll handle a 30KG monster on top. I need to find something like that in Europe, I want to avoid paying customs from ordering stuff from overseas

I'll help out

If I can't get the feet I was thinking in getting taller rubber (like the stock ones) feet and put a couple 10~20cm CCFL under the case or just a neon string. I don't want anything overbright.

I had a revoltec blue CCFL that could nearly light up my entire room so I had it turned off most of the time.

S2000_Skyline12 · 07-09-08

Holy crap, that's a good idea!

Dragoon · 07-09-08

I'll want something really low brightness, just enough to see the light pop out from under the case

I'll have to look into what is better and easier to mod, a nice slim neon string or the usual Cold Cathode tube.
