Re: lets see your rig

What do you want from your build? Want it to look like mine? All glowy and shiny? Or do you like more subtle details, like shiny black grilles instead of gaping windows?
Thing is, none of modding a case is really that difficult. If you go to Youtube there are plenty of professional tutorials on there, search for "MonsterMawd".
What case you got depicts whether you have free reign on what you can do. My black case was probably very cheap, but I was lucky to get a flat & relatively easy to mod side panel. Yeah sure it has a vent or two, but these just mean less metal to cut away for a bigger window!! Whereas my white case looks like this...



Those light grey areas to the right of the vents are more damned vents. Awkward little punch hole vents.
So do you see what Im getting at? As it is a budget build, basic DIY and working with what you've got is the order of the day!!

Re: lets see your rig

My new laptop. HP DV9000 series (9815). considering my negative biasment of vista, i'm SLOWLY learning.

.

I know it's strange seeing a wired network cable plugged into a laptop, but i found out that synergy KM switch doesn't exactly like wireless connections. I'm using the desktop mouse combined with the laptop keyboard, but I can use the desktop keyboard too if i want to. really like the media remote.

Sunday, there were about 12 units in my area. Wednesday, there were 4 (2 stores, 2 units each) as of 8 am. I stopped by the location i knew first at noon- they were out, but said the other location still had 2. Went ober there in an hour, they had 1 left- and I took it.

Abilene was the closest store with the laptop...talk about selling fast!
