Just started a new build PC project and am interested in getting a windowed case with a UV black-light inside for it (god knows why :rolleyes: ).

Does anybody have any experience of decent suppliers of these things? I really know f all about it but thought it might be a bit of a giggle. I'm not looking to overclock at the moment but I'd like a case that had the facility for extra fans if required in the future.

"The tach is a 10,000 RPM Autometer. I had a custom interface built to drive the tach. It is currently on it's 3rd firmware revision and probably it's last as I am pretty happy with it now. It will represent the CPU load from 0 to 100 percent with each percent coresponding to 100 RPM on the tach. It works very slick, and the latest firmware revision makes the tach do a small slow bounce at idle."

How hard is it cutting panel out?

Jig saw?!?!?!

AndiThompson 30 December 2002 05:14 PM

Jig saw is one way, dremels are also pretty popular..

Personally I think that car case is awesome :)

Try http://www.kustompcs.co.uk

They can do pretty much anything you want in the bespoke case department.

I've dealt with them, and they are a pleasure to do business with.

Mr Footlong 10 February 2003 09:46 PM

A lian-Li PC60 and PC65 case. I got tyhe PC65 case. You are looking at between £100-110 for either I think. At least where I got mine.

If you're looking at cases that can take extra fans, then go for the large thermaltake or antec cases (the top antec cases come with a truepower PSU thrown in)

P1 Enthusiast 11 February 2003 08:52 AM

Rob, that a dual monitor output rig?

And why oh why the cream drives hidden inside :P

How do you find the ThermalTake drive swappers? Good for cooling also?
