[edit] External Links
Just so people are aware, at the bottom of the page is very good information regarding unacceptable links. Once again, wikipedia is not about advertising your website.
"Unacceptable external links:
- Forums about casemodding as per links to avoid #9.
- Sites selling casemodding hardware as per WP:SPAM.
- Most ites that aren't in English as per WP:MOS-L.
- Links to sites solely because they have casemodding contests,
as per links to avoid #1. This especially applies if they also sell hardware, or have no other useful content for people other than contestants."
[edit] Redo this page
This page is abismal! There's so much to the world of case modding, this is a horrible representation and explanation of it!
[edit] Strict link removal....
The way some people are overaggresively remove any links from this wiki... it's absurd... If you call virtual-hideout, or gruntville or burnout spam ? Than casemodgod, and mashie's link are also spam, which were left unharmed again after someone removed all of the links... Than if that's spam as well than those links should be removed as well. Which I did.
Absurd isn't it?
[edit] Stop deleting helpful links !
Many sites get deleted, WHY ? Links that founded casemodding and whatnot, all being deleted.
Spam? give me a break. These are sources of information, many of them are non profit .....
EDIT: not sure how else to talk to you all, i fusionmods under the sites which is a modding site with guides, and a case gallery/voting system and it keeps getting removed i dont know why, but i do find it pretty stupid since it is a valid resource and if you scanned the forum you would see that that site is completly dedicated to the modders there.
Also i'd like to write some stuff on LCD Mods, including full LCD screens, ps1 screens (5"), and character LCDs but i feel it would be a waste since you guys will only delete it considering it spam... i'd like to know what it takes to be considered a "modding site" in your guys opinions, i mean you guys barly even cover the basics in modding... yeah you have a couple pics of cases, big deal, put some useful information on there like guides and common tools... in the mean time if you guys are interested in some LCD Mod Guides you all know tha ti can be found at fusionmods.net
[edit] Answer to Redo this page
/note: Well your true, there is so much more to casemodding. Maybe it is interesting to speak about the orginal sites that were there in the beginning, like Virtual-hideout, Bit-tech, Gideontech, BurnOutPC, PCPowerzone, Pimprig etc ?
Also the change in Casemodding, first there was the beginning where things such as window kits, neon lights and different fan grills were revolutionairy. Then came the original Cliff Baybus, the first PCMods LED Fans which were extremely expensive at the time, and very different than fans you see today. And ofcourse the introduction of Premod products that 75% of the CM industry is bombed with, or the raise of Watercooling and Phasechange in the world of casemodding.
So many to talk about, but nobody to do it.
[edit] Cases with a window and the radiation problem?
There are some standards that say, how large the case's ventilation holes can be. I also think that metal case acts as a Faraday cage and reduces the electromagentic radiation. Is it safe to use a computer with a window on its side panel?
PS. How can I use noise reduction systems (like the BeQuiet), if I want a case with a window? Any advices? Henri Tapani Heinonen 10:47, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
I suggest you go to any of the external links, and ask these questions there?

[edit] Bit-tech
Does anyone, apart from the poster, think that bit-tech.net is a worthy link? The current claim of being the "UK's premiere hardware review site" stinks of self promotion... and it's inaccurate anyway when you consider sites like hexus.net, trustedreviews.com etc. I'm sure I removed it at least once before but it keeps bouncing back and I didn't want to violate the three reverts rule. MansonP
Reply: have you any idea what bit-tech has done for the 'modding world' ? bit-tech.net/modding/ is probably the showcase for the worlds best ever case mods bar a very, very few - and those few probably were on the bit-tech forums but *not* allowed to be published by their makers for whatever reason. Also, bit-tech and trustedreviews.com are under one roof, and together form the biggest joint UK publication in their market area.
[edit] Image
The article needs a picture of the good old classic case with a window mode and some lights to demonstrate the beauty of case modding!
- Done. It's a stock case, and a rather common one at that, but it has a window, light-up fans, stealthed drives, and all the rest. If anybody has anything cooler, let them add it. --TexasDex 19:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] LCD
Should we make a page about LCD display shizzle? I dont know what name it has, but you usually put it in the computer at the 5.25" drive bay and it can show info such as fan rotation speed, cpu/mobo temperature, etc.

[edit] External links
In light of the huge number of edits to the external links section, I'd like to suggest the guidelines for adding external links. While the external links section was definitely out of hand deleting them all isn't a solution either, unless you like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
These are a distillation of the official rules, with specific examples pertaining to this article.
Acceptable external links:
- Howto articles explaining the process of various types of casemods (e.g. how to add hard disk windows). There should be no more than 3 or 4 links of this type in the article.
- A variety of examples of the process of casemodding (e.g. "I put a computer in this toy H2"). Again, having eighteen of these is excessive, we should be fine with say 4 or 5.
- Sites containing galleries of example casemods (e.g. look at all of these casemods people submitted!). More than 2 or 3 of these is probably excessive.
- A few links to hardware review sites or magazines directly about casemodding and/or overclocking (e.g. HardOCP). This should have no more than 2 or 3 of the most notable sites.
Unacceptable external links:
- Forums about casemodding as per links to avoid #9.
- Sites selling casemodding hardware as per WP:SPAM.
- Most ites that aren't in English as per WP:MOS-L.
- Links to sites solely because they have casemodding contests, as per links to avoid #1. This especially applies if they also sell hardware, or have no other useful content for people other than contestants.
[edit] Examples being deleted?
Why are good examples being deleted as 'site promotion' ? How is it site promotion to link to a good example of something especially when the 'external links' were approved by a Wiki editor in the first place? but then Qtip come sand removes them? Don 't you think examples help to understand what is being talked about in the subject at hand?
