Low scores in case gallery

[Dia01]

What's up with all the 1 scores for cases which clearly do not deserve a score that low. It is now my mission to offset any underved 1 scores with a 10! ;0

 

[Random Murderer]

its just some assholes who think it's funny.
personally, i've only ever given one 1, and it was to something that actually deserved it.

 

[Chewy]

just ignore the 1 go with what most people vote usually its in the 4-10 range. Hopefullyt he mods can find out whos doing it again. prob someone who doesne even use the fourms much.

Yeah, I've noticed a name or two that have been doing so. I've noticed a couple of no-post-count lurkers that stick around in that general area. I won't post names, but I have an idea of whom may be doing so. I confronted one guy in mrw1986's Build Post, he changed his ways after that, I did report that thread to mods because I believe a couple of the other guys in there are also repeatedly doing Vote 1's in other people's builds just to be punks. There's always going to be issues like this, it's best for us to catch em' when we can, and ignore em' when we can't.

Whats worse I think are the people who vote on the peoples hardware in the case mod gallery. Its right in the name "Case Mod Gallery" not "Hardware Gallery." Its pretty black and white and I will never understand giving someone a low score due to bad hardware. Its all about the case mod.

Those are the only ones I will give a low score to. When a case is a bone stock cookie cutter with a lot of high end componets in it. I don't care how much was spent, if there aren't any changes to the case it doesn't belong there.
Maybe a new gallery should be started and called "look what I spent my money on"

I think I know who you are talking about....

All they do is post negative things in the gallieries forum.

They have a bunch of posts and have been around for a few months..... just no post count because they lurk in that forum

I disagree. A case mod doesnt have to be all customly dremelled and filled with liquid nitrogen cooling systems and crap like that. A case mod is anything deemed not to be a standard computer chassis. Consider that the majority of computers on the planet are prebuilts with generic components, you can consider ANY case that has been built by someone other than a company like DELL, IBM, HP etc to be a casemod.

Then you do agree with me reread what I said

 

[ex_reven]

you said youd give a bad score to anyone with decent hardware but no mods?

Yes that's what I said. I feel buying a case, filling it with parts, and calling it a mod, is not.
buy ANY case, and doing any thing to make it diferent is a mod. change the collor of the power and hdd led's, that's a mod. Give some markers to the kids and let them draw on it, that's a mod. I'ts not about the parts, it's about what was done to make it look or work different than it did when it just came out of the box. What did you do to it.

 

[ex_reven]

I prefer a clean case, to one filled with neons.
A couple of LED fans is enough for me, and they came with the case lol.
Except for the red LED fans at the top - ebay ftw.

Does that mean I get a crappy score?

Amen to that.

I would really be curious what the average vote by people is? I sure as hell wouldn't mind having my average rating of other peoples cases prominatly displayed on my case gallery. Hell if then people start giving out 10 after 10, sure its still a problem, but what is more annoying having 17 votes of 10 on your case or 7 votes of 1?

Although the link say "Case Mod Gallery", in actuality, that section of the site comes up as the "Case Gallery". Mods aren't necessary, imo.

I was going to point that out also. It only says case mod gallery on the main page, perhaps just to attract more attention from visitors? In the gallery itself it doesnt say anything about mods.

Well guys the reason it was started is to show off our systems. If your system looks like a pre-assembled boutique build what is the point of showing off your comp? Paintjob, No wires, Insane cooling, Hacked-together watercooling, hell anything interesting. I'm frankly sick of looking at a pile of boxes turned computer and the owner expecting people to drool over it.

Is a brand new qx6800 and crossfire hd2900's anything I want to see in the gallery? No, I can go look at falcon northwest photos for that. Do I want to see a dual loop watercooling setup chilling those new parts? Hell yeah. If a big company can't do it and sell it retail, I want it in the gallery.

Saying they look like a boutique build is a compliment in my book, depending on the boutique. Falcon Northwest? Absolutely. Voodoo? Absolutely. The reason they can make a living doing what they are doing, is because they build phenomenal systems. They put a lot of effort into finding the right parts to achieve their goals. Some go as far as using a fog machine to test airflow thru their cases, to ensure everything is performing to it's absolute optimum. Most people can't achieve the build quality that these boutiques can. 99.9% of all people here can't match their quality.

Here's a good article about this very subject to read. Click the Computer Power User link. (direct link doesn't work)http://www.google.com/search?num=50...ct=result&cd=1&q=boutique+pc+builders&spell=1

Moral of the story? Boutique ≠ stock.

And where is your case mod, btw?

EDIT: Duh! nm, i found it.

The guys that do this sort of thing are sad t*ssers that only have a beige Pentium III setup because mummy & daddy wont give them the money to upgrade

 

[Deleted member 3]

Actually, I don't think it;s a problem. Every one votes 10/10 on any crap case with some lights as well. The 1/10's are basically offsetting all the pointless 10/10's.

*COUGH COUGH COUGH* Your system looks like a botique build

Well when I build People's system, I make sure airflow is optimal...like laying IDE cables flat > folding them. However I really hate it when people give ego driven votes (what happened to me a few weeks ago) or are being plain stupid and spamming ._.

 

[devguy]

Yeah, I spent about a week on my case mod in the gallery. It is only my first mod, so understandably, a 5 should not not be a bad rating, but 1s and 2s are a little upsetting to me. My guess is that people are rating the hardware I put into it, and that clearly wasn't the focus of the mod I did (taking a stock Dell Dimension case and modifying it).

 

[Ketxxx]

Any low votes are pretty obviously just jealousy votes in most cases, hopefully mature members can ignore those votes and try to balance the equation a little by rating a mod one or two points higher than they usually would.

 

[Fox34]

There def. is jelousy between people as thats normal, but to actually exspress it through a vote is immature. I am very serious and dedicated to modding wether it be a case or some electronic device. I was even thinking that next time i post my case(as Its gone through major renovations and Oh baby) I was not even going to put in the specs, just as something like a statement, though that sounds kinda dumb its true. O and Ketxxx, thanks to your memory bible I got my 3500+ to 3 Baby!

 

[erocker]

I could give a crap if I get all ones. No one really cares.
