Alvin's Main PC System
Though I am very intrigued by the non-standard PC Cases, of
which you can find a few elsewhere on this site, I suppose the
box-pc-case has it's merits.
For one thing, it uses the space very well, which is nice when it becomes part of a workspace. So some of my PC Modz that I see or use most in a day, is not even
directly related to the pc case it self.
As you might have guessed, I like Blue! So I painted the dark parts of the tools I use at my workspace to be blue. As it turned out, the only blue spray paint that I could easily find, and that I like, was a transparent glass spray. So I had to paint every dark part white first. In a few days of use it became obvious that the transparent blue is
also very fragile, and where your hands touch, it wore off in a few days. I suppose this is part of what modding is all about: Living and Experiencing, to hopefully learn something. See Lighted Keyboard to see how I have added a battery operated aqua blue neon wire to add glow to the keyboard. Here is a another picture, where I have turned off the flash on the
camera. Seems to be very different colors, but in real life they are
actually the same. |
As this computer is part of the
workspace, it is still neutral in the appearance, and most of the mods are
inside. The whole Mod idea started out with a "screaming" desire to silence the machine! For this see the Silence!!! page. Currently the front only has three visible Modz. The thermometer, the LCD and a Front USB port The Power On indicator has been fitted with blue LEDs. The indicator
light is a nice Plexiglas ring, around the on/off button.
