Computer Case Mod

Computer Case Modification Is An Art!

Ways I Reused My Obsolete Computer

This was my main system years ago. I kept it never knowing what I would do with it.

My First Mod,
(before I knew others did Mods) (ok it is a chassis not a case)

The case cover is used as an end table at the other side of my computer table. Photos are coming.

Current Modifications

Was:

	Full AT Case
	Micronics MoBo
	Phoenix BIOS
	Intel 386/33
	64k L2 CACHE
	8mb RAM
	Windows 95
	TEAC 51/4 Diskette Drive
	TEAC 3 1/2 Diskette Drive
	Quantum 170mb SCSI HD
	Adaptec 1542b SCSI Card
	ATI Wonder Video Card

The case is

	24"s Tall
	17"s Deep
	8"s Wide

Since the photo was taken the phone has been moved to hang beside the "CD Rack"

The coffee cup has been replace by a Star Bucks

Note: Without the cover this case does not meet FCC Class B regulations.

Now:

	No Video Card
	No Diskette Drives
	No Keyboard or Mouse
	3COM 309c 10/100 NIC

It Does Have:

	2 Fans to blow on Me
	External 100mb ZIP Drive, (Doing file transfers to this system and from there to the ZIP frees up my main system).

System Now Holds:

	20 CDs
	10 ZIP Disks
	Phone
	Lamp
	Coffee Cup

Still Has The Same:

	MoBo
	CPU
	BIOS
	64k L2 CACHE
	8MB RAM
	SCSI Card
	Hard Drive

My Current Home Case:

Unmodified ATop 901.
Came with an extra side fan and slide out MoBo drawer. All edges are smooth, (read scratch less).
This was the first system I ever built. It was easy.

This Case Was Purchased here: http://www.pccase.com/products/AT901.html

I've added one 80mm fan in lower front and one above the power supply. Other than a possible blowhole on top and chaser lights in the front bezel, this case is too nice to modify. It has a very sleek black finish and sides that easily slide open.

Stop by for future case modifications or recycle and reuse ideas.

I found this company to be very reliable, helpful, and knowledgeable about their product and computers in general.

Please respect my work.
