Ive only gone as far as putting a "L" shaped window on my box, and getting those thermaltake superLED cpu coolers.

i disagree with the opinion of the article... ok, so some people go to extremes to do up their comp, much alike people who put bolt-ons onto their hyundai excel... but three things: one, it is indicative of their obsession with improving the performance to match something twice as expensive; two, overclocking does shorten usage life but it's not like you're gonna use current computer hardware for more than 3 yrs; three, it is a testament to their dedication and pursuit of a hobby.

so who is this idiot to criticise? besides, if it wasn't for overclockers and case-modders we'd all still be using Pentium's in ugly beige boxes.

Do realise all articles that show up in the fyi column are meant to ridicule the topic.

I think some cases look better than DYI moding.

Sad thing is I know I'm not alone in finding case mods exciting.
Greh, it's an art!

No. I'm not interested in overclocking or anything of the sort.

I scanned the article from a copy Good Weekend after I bought it over the weekend in the paper.

Hmmm it was funny but too judgemental. I've personally put a few women away with my my case.

meh some people can do some creative shit with their old pc's, like making an arcade machine from a 266, and super creative stuff like that only starts from stupid shit like perspex windows.

overclocking btw...is stupid these days, and dead too...
