1. Originally a kind of hardware hack on a PC intended to support
|
|
|
|
|
overclocking (e.g. with cutouts for oversized fans, or a freon-based or
|
|
|
|
|
water-cooling system). 2. Nowadays, similar drastic surgery that's done just
|
|
|
|
|
to make a machine look nifty. The commonest case mods combine acrylic case
|
|
|
|
|
windows with LEDs to give the machine an eerie interior glow like a B-movie
|
|
|
|
|
flying saucer. More advanced forms of case modding involve building machines
|
|
|
|
|
into weird and unlikely shapes. The effect can be quite artistic, but one of
|
|
|
|
|
the unwritten rules is that the machine must continue to function as a
|
|
|
|
|
computer.
