| | NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Case modding |
| | Case modding is the artistic modification of a computer chassis (often just referred to as the case), often also involving peripheral components. | | | Many people, particulary hardware enthusiasts use case mods to illustate a computers power. | | | This functional design was often called a beige box Although this served the purpose of containing the components of a personal computer, as time wore on, many users found their computers to be "tacky" or "dull" due to the lack of originality in the case design. |

| | Introduction to Case Modding -= www.bigbruin.com =- |
| | The old school case modders may be more likely to find their gear at hardware, automotive, and electronics stores than they would at a computer store. | | | The things serious case modders can create with their tools and creativity wind up looking less like computer cases and more like art or props from a movie. | | | The rising popularity of LAN parties has elevated the interest in customized computer cases, and what once was left to highly creative/skilled individuals, is now so mainstream that it might not be considered custom. |

| | Found object modding is exactly as its name describes: turning a found object into a housing for your computer equipment. | | | As the computer and computer technology has evolved so has the desire to be different from your neighbour and a step up on your closest rival. | | | While the two fields are diverse in their design and innovations they retain a single common desire: to make their computer as unique and interesting as possible. |

| | So do we, but instead of drilling holes and windows out of our computer cases to install cold cathodes, fans and plexiglass, we simply left the case away this time. | | | We wanted to change this and thought about a way how to transform a lab computer (just the parts put together, no case (as seen in testing labs at various websites)) into a portable shape. | | | An included CD case makes for easy moving. |

| | With the side off the case, an impressive amount of light gets out of the computer. | | | Neons waste a lot less of their input power as heat, which is particularly good news for PC hot-rodders who would really rather not add much more heat to the inside of their case. | | | But given that the field's well into the kilovolt range (with minuscule current capacity) several inches from the globe, I wouldn't be surprised if fooling around with one near static-sensitive components, of which there are many in modern PCs, could destroy them. |
