I'm gonna mod my antec 300, but i'm not quite sure what to do..

I'm gonna get a plexi side window for sure, and frost in my nickname and a logo with some LED's in the corner (this will create a awesome effect)

but i'm not quite sure what more to do ?

any ideas?

Painting the interior or Plasti dipping it would be nice. Maybe add a certain theme to it.

I like the way you think, plexi mod FTW!

Depends on how much modding experience you have and what you are willing to do but may I suggest the following:

- Create a jet like turbine mod for the front fan(s).

Something like that^

- Perhaps a top and/or bottom intake/exhaust fan mod.

- Try some chrome trimming to give it a more sharp kind of look.

stealth your dvd drives
paint the interior
cut some proper wire management holes into the interior
put a window on the side
cut the grills out of the fan cages on the front (it improves airflow, reduces turbulence, lowers noise, etc)

I like mine plain and simple..

All this, and no side window..

I would definitely replace some of the existing fans for more airflow or lower noise.

Pick up some UV paint and UV markers, and a black light cold cathode and go nuts

x2 on stealthing the optical drives, you can do a fan controller too. Here is my A300!

And some cable management too!

^Ohhh, I really like how the foam makes the HDD/optical cage look stealthy.

 

[tOny3]

thanks

. remember how it was before? hehe i was inspired by your antec 300

 

[whitekidney]

Whoa, foam all over the inside?

I'm gonna stealth the drives, get a sidewindow, and 2 red fans in the front with one or two cathodes (red).

Anyone have a tut on stealthing the drives?

It's a rather easy procedure.

 

[sosikwitit]

Paint the inside for sure

Read my Chlokwork Orange build log, I have a whole section for steathing the drives. It's a bit more than the usual stealth job for the A300s.

stealthing a drive is not as easy as it looks..

i spent about 1hr doing mines...

i found out the main problem. the side grooves on the front panel peice was blocking it from coming out. and i had to shave down the side peice of the front peice. *the removable thingamajig*

mines looks great tho

Raise up the case on some feet, then drill a hole so your PSU fan can face down, drawing cold air from underneath the case, not hot air from inside.

 

[sbeast]

stealthing the drives is pretty simple if you have the right tools (i used a hacksaw, lol) the only part i had slight difficulty with was you have to slightly shave off a bit of the plastic and then bend the mesh to fit tigher for it to go in n' out smoothly
