Thread Starter 
what would be ghetto mods you guys have done. Before I got my new 3650 I had this crappy x1300 and the fan broke so I got zip ties and tied a new one down. What are some mods (ghetto in particular) you guys have done?

The front input panel for my capture card is duct taped into my case. When I get some batteries I'll take a pic of it. Looks great from the front but when you look inside and see the tape its pretty funny. I <3 Duct Tape!

Used 2 Simpson Tie straps to create a HD mounting device for short term testing...

(Pics when I get home...)


No pics, but I once ran out of room in my pc for more HD's and had to cut a hole in the top of the case to to run the power and IDE cable through. I used duct tape to cover the ragged edges of the hole and screwed the bottom of the full height 5.25" 4GB drive to the case... Noisiest mod I have done.
