Hey guys, here is my big-arse tower that I found on the street one day (see http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=66224)

For sale to anyone who wants to come and pick it up from Slough (or arrange for the postage). Comes with 2 power supplies (one shitty old 300w jobby, one reasonable Colorsit 500w) 2 cd drives and a bit of dust.

Got to get rid of it because I'm going home to New Zealand soon, too big to take with me. I want to because it's a beast and could fit some beastly hardware. but no can do, too expensive to ship.

Taking offers. If no one wants to pay for it it can go for FREE on the condition that you PROMISE TO MOD THE HELL OUT OF IT AND KEEP TPU WELL POSTED!

Id love to take this on as a project, but with school studies and lack of experience I doubt progress would be very fast . . .

depending on the dimensions, im seeing a couple of 12cm rads in the floor with dust filters, possibly a 14cm rad in the from under the HDD rack, with the top section dedicated to watercooling . . . a triple 12cm rad, with the pump up top or something . . . damn your tempting me now haha.

watercooling, 200mm fans in the side underneath a window, fully soundproofed + watercooling a mATX spare UNTIL I can get an Asus Z7S with two Xeons in there for full-time benching..
additional radiator mounts top + front (3fan and two fan) Bulgin power switch with a hidden cathode to do a light 'bar' through the case side by the drive bays
LCD mounted in the floppy slot + stealthed drives

basically cuzza, this as a starter AND you getting to see the mod first via PM = the mod playing out to your approval :D

sorry, internet lagged - double post.

also, considering the idea of two boards running simultaneous WUs (folding)/benches

oh and of course hosting as an awesome LAN server, which will help when playing myself on my rig :)

any idea of shipping down country? I can attempt to get a car trip if I ask a mate real nice, lol

Cheers for that link TheCrow, that's very useful.

Shipping within UK roughly £9-£15 depending on how soon you want it.

USA £60-£70 (US$90-100)

It is a hell of an opportunity for the modders and its free.

BTW cuzza why don't you spray wd-40 over the case and it can be saved until somebody comes to your door to collect it....:)
