Modding

What is modding, you may ask. well modding is where you change the look of hardware for an aesthetic purpose, although you could mod for a function that the original didn't have. There are many types of mod ranging from the simple adding extra fans to building the case from scratch.

Here are a few examples:

Adding a Fan or Three This is a simple but effective mod. Not only does it increase the cooling capabilities of the case but can look very good as well. There are a number of places to put a fan, the most popular is in the front, but can also be put on the side.
	A Window This can be put anywhere on the case and will allow you to see into the case and see all the components. The window can also be put in the front, top and even on the DVD player or hard drives. This mod can look the best especially if you add lights. Windows can also come in all shapes and sizes and also come with rased covers that give the mod an individual look to it.
Adding Lights This mod involves putting lights in the case to light up any windows you may have or to shine through any holes that the case may have, eg in the bottom so the floor glows. The types of lights could be anything from LED's to cold cathode. Any fans that you add to the case could have lights built in as well adding a moving light.
	Custom Paint Job This could be one of the most simple or most complicated, ranging from a simple spray coate of a different colour change or you could go all the way and have custom air brushed decals or works of art.
Engraving This is where you engrave the window or etch the metal to put a design on the case with a technique other than paint. This can look good on a lit window as the engraved part will look lighter than the rest of the window. There are a number of ways to create an engraving like using a chemical on the acrilic to using an engraving rotary tool.
Crazy Additions There are plenty more examples of modding like adding LCD screens, wheels, handles and others. These are the mods that make your case stand out from the rest.
