I made a stealth drive out of double-sided foam tape and legos once, but that's about it.

If you want to see some outrageous case mods, visit [url=http://www,xoxideforums.com/]XoxideForums.com[/url]. I used to be into case modding, but it's really just awaste of good money that could spent on hardware.

OK ya its not that cool but still... it's cool.

I wired my entire system into my computer. Once I buy cable spliters later today I will run them back into the TV so I can see it on both the TV and PC at the same time.

Watercooling it (burned a hole in my wallet) and overclocking it like a madman.

I wish I had the money to watercool mine. I found a kit for $60 but it was most likely just crap if it was that cheap.

Good watercooling will cost you at least 250USD.

Well, my own personal PCs are well-known for being completely uncool with absolutely nothing impractical and usually quite cheap ... The only LEDs I have are the ones telling me when the computer is on and the one that tells me when the hard drive is being accessed :p Oh, and the ones on the DVDRW and DVD-ROM ...

i swear to god people, i OCed my CPU by 10% but after 20 mins it started to overheat. so i put it to 5%. still overheated!. i even set it at standard stock speed. now it still overheated. BUT!!!!!! OMG!! i went to sleep and woke back up in the morning. put some acne treatment cream in my freezer for about 30 mins. took it out and put it on my heatsink as a very cheap thermal grease. HOLY shiznit mushrooms!!!!!! let me tell you this!!!


FROM 160 F to 89 F OMFG!! is that amazing or what!? i tell you no lie. NO BS!!

I doubt putting it in the freezer will help for very long, but thermal paste is a definite must for efficient heat transfer, no doubt.
