Dude I just binge watched a whole bunch of your videos, liked all of them, and added them to a newly created playlist called "modding". You are amazing! I'm gonna start modding just because of your videos! SUBBED!!!
Thank you. This simple video was perfect for an older noob to learn new tricks. Could not find anything like this even years after you created this vid.
I tried to be into pc modding like 10 years ago, and did make some rather 'funky' stuff which I did not end up liking. Now I was trying to get back, and this video pretty has a lot what I was missing in the day. Good video!
Please keep doing this forever. You have done so many things that I have thought about but couldn't afford to try or find info on. Watching your videos will save me months and months of trial and error experiments on projects. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. You do some fabulous awesome work. I ran into this video looking up how to properly paint a PC case and glad that I did. I have 6 HP 800 G1 machines that I'm thinking of modifying and your channel is loaded with ideas. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Thanks man I was going to mod my thermaltake case by opening a hole in the front panel acrylic and cover it with some cheap mesh, this helped me with what I need cheers.
Thank you for this video...I build pc’s on the side for money and always have people wanting custom stuff like this and I just didn’t know what tools I would need or where to start...you saved me a lot of time and now because of your video I can take my little custom pc business to new heights so thank you again!
Good job on the video. I've used all of these items except for the clay. It IS important for inexperienced modder to realize they need to completely remove their computer components prior to drilling. Even if you have to drill only one hole the small metal pieces could damage your components and may even get into a component fan or two. It's a lot of work but it is even more work and expense if you damage a computer part(s). Also, when you solder it is easier to add a small amount of flux. This makes a world of difference to help you when you solder. A lot of solder claims to not need flux, but I've found out that by adding just a touch makes a world of a difference in helping to achieve a good solder connection as well as improving the looks. Remember to clean the leftover flux after you finish. When you buy rivets, pay attention to not only the diameter of the rivet but also the length. The really long rivets can make the case look messy and in some instances may not do as good a job to connect the pieces together. We all need to see more videos like this that are not only informative but are explained rather well. Praise The Lord and Godspeed to you all - 2 Peter 3:9!!
This was a great video. Very informative. I'm new to the case modding scene and this is definitely a "must watch" for the necessary tools to get started. Thanks for this upload. Will be watching more of your videos.
Oh boy, youtube. I subscribed to you back when you were working out of your dads garage. I'm glad that I found your channel again. Because, I've always thought that you did some good work.
You are welcome in my shop. . . . a full Sign Shop with mega tools i.e. a wood shop next door. Amazing to see the amount of "insider tips" given from a seemingly newbie.
Great video. I just finished working on my Antec 600 case. If I had seen your video before I would I have been a bit braver. All I did was give it a new paint job, change the USB 2 headers to USB 3 and added some legs. Will definitely be following you for another project that I have in the future.
Your videos are great! Just finishing up cleaning up my PC with a psu cover. Nothing fancy since the pc was already a budget build, but really satisfied with how it looks now. Also, I found that a camping stove also works well for heating up the plastic with the bonus that it’s also hands free!
Awesome video that is very valuable! I remember when you first started and your mods were good attempts but not super high quality. Now you are doing a great job!
Thanks for yet another useful video on modding. I bought my Dremel saw after watching you work with yours. Even though I’m an artist I think that manually cutting vinyl is pretty difficult so I think that my next purchase will be a a vinyl cutter such as the Silhoutte.
excellent...i am slowly collecting tools especially second hand stuff like the dremel moto saw which i managed to get for a very decent price,next i am hoping to get a dremel rotary tools as well,already have a soldering iron and a glue gun,x-acto knife set,heat gun...also need to pick up a half decent cordless drill and drill bit set and a rivet gun and i will be set and ready to start learning to mod....of course all these most excellent tutorials you have uploaded will be my main source of learning because for a young lad you have a great teaching talent you manage to get every angle covered and as for replying to people with help you are swift and amazing...love the channel myles keep it up
Thanks dude! I am planning to make a few more tutorials in the not too distant future as well. You should make TH-cam videos of your mods when you start :p
i will try but my shooting and editing skillz suck once i have all the parts for my threadripper build i will attempt to record the mods and build for my first upload mod/build
I used carpet tape to mount the window in a case I modded back in 2003. After I cut the hole with my trusty Dremel Pro. :) Btw, drilling holes in acrylic is somewhat an art form. It easily cracks. I found that out when drilling screwholes for the fan grill in the window and the bracket for the 120mm fan behind it. I sanded the edge of the acrylic bracket with the added bonus of a nice edge glow from the 30 cm. Sunbeam cold cathode in the bottom of the case. I had to bend a piece of acrylic and sand blast it and put it over the cc to make the light difuse. Darn thing was bright as heck!
Very nice and informative, thank you for that! I have no issues building pc's and i love doing so, but i wanna do more. Delidding, cable sleeving and proper casemodding. Got the delid tool, got some of the tools for cable sleeving and are planning to get into that soon, but honestly had no idea where to start with casemodding, what tools to get, what materials to use or anything. This video gave me a lot of ideas and somewhere to start. Great content :)
Dude u are like......... THE BEST .... I really love u for this video..... i planned on making the cougar conquer out of acrylic so i made a 3D model in in Maya and made a template. but i dropped the idea cause i had no idea how i could make it cause i never had idea of what all tools i might need... Thank u for this video....... PROUD TO BE A SUBSCRIBER
thank you I already have all those tools (except for the saw and the clay) so I'll start modding right away by the way I recommend using a 3D printer as that will give you the ability to make great shapes.
Just seen your vid for the first time and although I have done a bit of Dremel work here and there and a tad of soldering (pc cases never seem to be just right you always need to remove something or add something ) , I haven't gone as far as to mod or change the aesthetics of my pc case but after watching this vid you have definitely give me some ideas , Just like to say Awesome , your acrylic work is fantastic , you make it look easy , I will definitely be watching your vids from now on 👍👍👍
Hey man. Appreciate you sharing this info to us. Gotta hand it to you, you've got me inspired to mod my pc. Liked most of your videos, not ready to subscribe yet hah. Someday I will.... Awesome stuff. Keep up the good work!! 👍
I was watching videos from TechSource and I wanted to mod a pc. Hoping to have the budget soon so I can start. Thanks for this vid! U deserve more subs, realtalk :D
Dietec Absolutely, you've come a long way from when I started watching you last year, the white Star Wars PC for your dad iirc. Keep it up,and keep handing us tips once in a while ;)
Thank you Dietec for all lovely informative videos. I an old retired person have learnt such a lot, it's the purchasing of the tools which are holding me back.
Nice no bullshit list, 2 other cheap tools I find come in handy, small chisel (for those rivets i can't get a drill to chisel the back of them off) and a paint scraper/ filling blade they are nice and thin for prying things apart.
finally a guide on the tools needed.. I couldn't find anything on the internet for months. thanks!
These are just the bare minimum, there are a lot more useful tools too as a few people in the comments are pointing out :)
i build custom PC's and specially modified PC's for clients...this video was actually quite informative. good job Dietec....good job
Probably one of the best videos I've ever seen. Thanks for all the great tips on recommended tools with actual examples of using them.
Very useful, thanks!!
I'm a simple man, I see the R6S logo. I click on the video!
Fat Potato sem here brah xD
batta big batta boom i ruin my case because i do not have the skills of dietec
Same.
Haha i thought i was the only one who did it 🤣
Right bruh
Dude, the amount of awesomeness packed into this one video is beyond words. Thanks for making such an amazing guide for a newbie.
Well done. We've come along way from using nibblers to make 80mm fan holes and cathode tubes.
never thought id be into pc modding...
Dude I just binge watched a whole bunch of your videos, liked all of them, and added them to a newly created playlist called "modding".
You are amazing! I'm gonna start modding just because of your videos!
SUBBED!!!
Yes!! I'm so glad they were helpful :)
Thank you for the etch glass tip!! Ohhh boy the possibility's just opened up so much more!
That game of thrones one at the end is insane.
I really thought "why tf would you be making a clay mask for a PC??" Then I saw the final result, and that's absolutely awesome.
*Went out and purchased every tool and supply off of Amazon. 😁👍🏽💯 Thanks brother!
That etched glass trick is an absolute game changer. This is a top notch beginner guide.
Thank you. This simple video was perfect for an older noob to learn new tricks. Could not find anything like this even years after you created this vid.
I tried to be into pc modding like 10 years ago, and did make some rather 'funky' stuff which I did not end up liking. Now I was trying to get back, and this video pretty has a lot what I was missing in the day. Good video!
Wow. Easily the best beginner case modding video on TH-cam. Thanks so much!
Thanks for saying that!!
Please keep doing this forever. You have done so many things that I have thought about but couldn't afford to try or find info on. Watching your videos will save me months and months of trial and error experiments on projects. Thanks!
Thanks, really appreciate this. There aren't much pc modding channels out there that help, so much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. You do some fabulous awesome work. I ran into this video looking up how to properly paint a PC case and glad that I did.

I'm working on a pretty ambitious project, and your tips here were really useful. Thanks a lot!
Awesome video thank you for putting it together; especially the cheaper options like armor etching the glass!!

Straight to the point and no BS. Very nice video!
Your videos are great! Just finishing up cleaning up my PC with a psu cover. Nothing fancy since the pc was already a budget build, but really satisfied with how it looks now. Also, I found that a camping stove also works well for heating up the plastic with the bonus that it’s also hands free!
Thank you! I am about to start my first project modifying the front of my case (Darkflash DLM 21) for airflow and this video has helped a lot!
Thank you so much for creating this video. I was interested in building a pc case from scratch and you inspired me to do something much more.
Damn! That case mod with the face sculpture @ 8:45 blew my mind! I never saw anything like that before.
You are a very creative artist, congratulations from Brazil!
Awesome video that is very valuable! I remember when you first started and your mods were good attempts but not super high quality. Now you are doing a great job!
Thanks!! That is a very accurate account of my start :P
This is super useful! I already have most of the expensive tools so ill definitely try my hand at it in my next build. Definitely subscribing!
Thanks for yet another useful video on modding. I bought my Dremel saw after watching you work with yours. Even though I’m an artist I think that manually cutting vinyl is pretty difficult so I think that my next purchase will be a a vinyl cutter such as the Silhoutte.
5tarman 7 how much does the sillouette cost
Don't remember. Google it, silhouette portrait :p
OscarGolf I’ve seen it on Amazon for about £170.
Dietec Thanks. That would make a great video! How to use the Silhouette Portrait 😉
You could check your local library or office store and see if you can use theirs for a small fee
Absolutely awesome video!!! Great to see this and giving me some great ideas. Excellent!
This list is actually useful, never thought that would ever happen. Thanks man
Fantastic video, never knew about the glass etching cream.
