New Adventures!

I have finally decided to start using my blog for the rest of my adventures outside of fishing as well. That way everyone can enjoy all of my mediocrity instead of just a small portion of it.

So another hobby that I like to partake in is the building of computers. I have always enjoyed messing around with computers so after building a few of them over the years I have decided to try my hand at modding a case. The case I have decided to use is the Antec 900 case, which is already a wonderful looking case almost so much so that I didn’t want to ruin it by hacking it to bits, but the hacking is the fun part right?

When I say I want to mod a case I just don’t want to add in a few extra lights here and there, I want to totally change the appearance of the case. Well I still want to add some nifty lighting but anyone can do that with an extra five bucks and a few minutes to spare. My main goal of this case is to install a touch screen at an about 45 degree angle so when the case is resting nicely on the floor you can use it from the comfort of your chair. To do this I am going to remove the top portion of the case along with some of the front and cut the case at the right angle to get the desired effect. I also want to install carrying handles on the top of the case to make moving it around easier for when I take it places. In order to hold these handles and the touch screen monitor I am going to have to weld new plates on the top and the front where the monitor will be installed.

I have actually started this whole process but I haven’t taken any photos of what has been done yet. Hopefully maybe early next week I will have some sort of update on my progress, but until then just imagine it looking better then what it actually does right now.
