Hey guys. There may be a baby Rockstar on the way, modding had to take a backseat. I have some free time while I am wating on paint to dry for the Rockstar case, so I thought that I might as well get modding. I wanted a little more challenge and something unrelated to my other mod to keep me fresh. I am an avid Linux user, and I thought that a Linux-based system would be cool as the theme for the mod.
I'm going to be using a desktop style case for the mod, and I'll be re-using my cpu, mobo, ram, and all that jazz till I get components in there long term.
The case for this mod I think is going to be the hec 7106 because I love steel cases. I also love the throwback to old-school PC.
I want to make the box look very "first aid kit", as Linux can "cure" older PC's from the Vista bloat we're seeing sweep the PC community, and causing the average yser to sell the children into slavery to run Vista.
I'll be painting the inside metal again with chrome Rustoleum paint, the outside a high-gloss white with windows in the top and sides. Details in biohazrd orange and blood red. Mesh and plexi to be had all around. Surprises and pics to come soon. Suggestions welcome as well.
