PC Modding

That one happens to be the priciest thing they offer...

It’s almost a rule of thumb: if it’s the most skipped, it’s usually because it’s actually the highest quality stuff out there!!!

I'm with you on that.

Joseph Carter9 said:Just because it's the cheapest doesn't mean it's high quality!!!

That’s just how it works. There are always exceptions...
But for him, it’s cheap...😉
And it's the lowest price at Walmart, regardless of the actual quality...🙂

I have a hunch it’s priced so low because high-end potentiometers usually run you at least 400 bucks $200—assuming you want a color display, of course... but since this one actually comes equipped with a card reader, I think that explains why it's such a steal...

It should be arriving tomorrow, so I'll be sure to check back in once I have some photos and can share my first impressions...

I honestly can't wait

It looks like it won't actually arrive until Monday since they don't handle deliveries on Saturdays at all...

I honestly wish it would just kick the bucket already.

Look, I apologize to everyone—I can't believe how dense I was being... I accidentally copied the thumbnails instead of the actual files... fixing it now.

@ Casey Williams5 - I used to be under the handle Vale on the PC Modding forums, but I changed my profile style and now I'm locked out—I'll have to shoot the admin an email to sort it out...

So, I'm looking at this gorgeous chassis, but what kind of actual hardware is actually packed inside this beautiful case?

@Arthur Rodriguez4—honestly, this forum is driving me crazy. Every time I spend more than a few seconds on here, my computer just freezes up... CPU spikes straight to 100%...

Alright, the PC Modding is finally finished—cables are tucked away and the side panels are back on. Check out the shots

Where on earth did you pick up those cable wraps?

Hey!! Just grab a hose from a hardware store and cut it into a spiral...

The miracle has finally arrived 🙂







It’s not just decent, actually... I’d go so far as to say it’s absolutely fantastic! We're talking three sensors, control over three different fans, e-SATA, USB, and a card reader—it’s basically a 55-in-1 powerhouse 🙂

Looks solid

The photo doesn't really do it justice, though... it's pitch black in here right now, so I'll try to get some better shots up for you all tomorrow 🙂

Honestly, the only real headache with this whole thing is the absolute nightmare of trying to manage and connect all those cables ☕

That's rough. You guys actually dealing with power outages over there??

Casey Williams5 said:Darkness, you say? Is there some kind of power outage happening over there or something??

Well, since the case is currently tucked away on the floor next to my desk in a rather dim corner of the room... and when you combine that lack of light with a low-end digital camera => the photos just aren't coming out great (the flash definitely doesn't help matters either)...😉

How can I connect 5V LED strips from a car cigarette lighter to my power supply without burning them out immediately?
