pre-modded = manufactured = not modded

And you don't get the bragging rights either!

But when you mod it yourself (and your successful of course) than you feel real proud of what you've done.

Heh, there is plenty I will be modding myself. Figured it would be alright to go ahead and get a few things pre-modded. After reading all of these comments, I sure the hell won't release the specs to my system, but I'll show some pics when it's done.

I'm not going to argue specific definitions. The PSU was modified by the manuf, so it's modded in some way.

**Greebe** · 22 November 2002, 18:18

Can't wait for the tail fin and that bad ass aero package!

**Wombat** · 22 November 2002, 18:19

Dude, how about you just send ME the money? Between this PSU and your useless SCSI plans, you're wasting your money anyway, so you might as well just give it to someone.

**BuddMan** · 22 November 2002, 18:21

Wombat, that's your opinion. Sorry you feel that way. Hell, **** it. I'm not saying a thing more about it. Not even posting pics.

**Greebe** · 22 November 2002, 19:11

Oh come on, we're just teasin. Shoot there are many here that have highly modded their cases.

To some of us it's overkill... money best spent on what's truely important, hardware/software (or a life

, but regardless it's your money, do as you please

Ok, that´s all very nice, but few commented my two options.
I´ve heard both good and bad opinions about Antec. About Thermaltake purepower I´ve read some reviews and all consider it excellent.
I´m still unsure what to get.

**BuddMan** · 23 November 2002, 15:28

Nuno, I wouldn't bother asking here. If you're going to get one that they don't recommend, then they get all over you for it. I mean, they know all, listen to them. Whatever they say goes, cause they are the gods of the computer industry...

I'd ask at HardForums, StorageReview.com, or even Rage3D. You'll get more help from them than you would here.

Exactly, well said Greebe.

And then there's always the people like myself, who aren't rich enough to keep up so we end up doing whatever we can to improve performance.

I should post a pic of the top of my tower. I didn't have a saw or anything to make it I used a drill for the WHOLE hole, I got a few laughs but my case temp dropped some 15ºC!

Well, despite this thread turned into a pro/against mod

just stoped by to say I did a little research about Power supplies and PFC/non-PFC, active/passive PFC, and I did notice the thermaltake didn´t even have PFC.
I bought a Chieftec 360W active PFC/dual fan and it´s excellent. Sharp and stable voltages on every line. Very silent too. Highly recomended and affordable at only 65€ (taxes included).

edit: dual fan, not dual ps...he he.

May it bring you many years of reliable service.

(not saying it won't)

**Greebe** · 29 November 2002, 16:21
