Originally a kind of hardware hack on a PC intended to support
|

|
|
<a href="../O/overclock.html"><i class="glossterm">overclocking</i></a> (e.g. with cutouts
|

|

for oversized fans, or a freon-based or water-cooling system).</p></dd><dd><p> 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.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="case-and-paste.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../C.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="casters-up-mode.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">case and paste<74></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>casters-up mode</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
