Gamers and personal computer enthusiasts alike spend exorbitant amounts of money on their gaming rigs. From high-end components that can rip apart the latest in software and games to the biggest monitors and best sound systems that provide the best immersion and experience. A portion of this demographic goes even further by modifying their computer cases, whether it's to show off their technical skill or just for a more aesthetically pleasing view. There are several levels of difficulty involved in modifying a computer case, but after seeing many cool computer cases, you're probably wondering how you can try that out. Well, here's some information on possible modifications you could make to your computer.
Minor Modification
This type of enhancement is completely reversible and can easily be changed should you dislike the effects it produces. The first part is the 'window'. This involves replacing a part of your computer case, usually the side panel, for a framed piece of transparent plastic, so you can see inside your computer. This is an easy modification and great for beginners as it involves little to no work, provided you can find a side panel to purchase. If not, then you might have to do some manual sawing and cutting to get such a result, which would make it rank up there with very difficult modifications.
This is one of the most common and easiest ways to modify your computer case. Some come ready made with transparent side panels and LEDs, but there's nothing like bit of personal customization. Furthermore, you can save some money by doing your own work. This level of modification is the cheapest by far, but offers only a low-level of cool looking effects.
Moderate Modification
A little more irreversible than the previous modifications, spray paint allows you to change the color of your computer case. Alternatively, using stencils, you could paint patterns and designs onto the case. This is drastically more artistic than the previous modifications and can cater to many levels of detail. It might be cheaper or more expensive depending on your designs, but when used in combination with the minor enhancements, you could have a computer case worth being proud of.
Heavy Enhancements
Strictly for advanced users and sculptors, this involves using what is called body filler to create shapes and designs different to the original case shape. Using this, users can sculpt entirely new designs, either based on their favorite games or their own designs, whatever they wish. It's a difficult process and requires not only experience, but planning first. Such case mods have been featured on blogs, news sites and computer-centric television programs. This is likely to lead to high expenses if done correctly, so have a budget ready.
For other modifications to your computer, there is component-modification, such as adding a window to a hard drive. This is inadvisable and is simply here as an example. Generally, components are exceptionally easy to damage, so either utmost care should be taken or these products should be bought ready-modified by professional companies.
