I finally decided now was my time. Now I'd attempt to create something so that I'd qualify for the world wide fraternity of DIY case modders. And because BF1942 is the game of the century I thought that should be my theme. Come in and have a look, I hope you'll be impressed.

Hey that rocks. Could you put some step by step instructions on how you did it? Any hints or tips etc... I'd like to do something similar and this would really help.

Hey thanks man! Here are the basic steps I followed:

1. get helmet
2. stick on case
3. get lamp
4. stick in case
5. get BF1942 CD
6. stick in case next to lamp

That's basically it! I was surprised at the effectiveness of the final effect. Well worth the effort!

Good luck with your own MOD man!

I'm interested to see cooling specs for this case mod. What cooling design was involved and did it change your benchmarks? Would you suggest a specific type of table lamp?

#4 / Posted by Xtro / 20021112-18:06:19

Benchmarks and cooling didn't really change much at all, but it sure made BF1942 more fun!

As I play, I keep looking at the helmet and thinking "Hey, I'm probably wearing a helmet that looks exactly like that. Cool."

And sometimes I even put it on myself!

BF1942 rocks and now my case can play it too!

Hey, if you got some twigs from the garden and stuck them on your helmet, you could be a sniper!!!

That would suit, cause we all know snipers move around about as much as your case does.

But.....................Why didn't you paint it camo?

..... At least the cheap *winter camo would've done the trick :p

im sorry, this is the most retarded use of bandwith ever...

what the hell is the point of this case mod? its as simple as you put it, stuck a helmet on top, and a freaking LAMP sticking inside the case!

where is the creativity or work, or even real 'mod' of the case?

>Target has no scarcasm detection capability or humor module. Target has extremly small penis and bloated self-importance program V2.3. Also suffers cramps, pains, blisters, blindness and hairy palms, all symptoms associated with excessive wanking.

Action taken: none. Idiot will probably self-terminate in near future due to act of rampant stupidity. Will probably get some kind of special mention in the Darwin awards.

Is that a legal copy of BF? If you buy it in the shops it comes in a dvd type case.

Is that an acer cd writer?

#14 / Posted by Xtro / 20030105-07:07:56

Yes it is, Police. Where did you buy yours? Here (in Australia) I got it in a traditional carboard box with enclosed CD case (as pictured above) and book...
