BeerGnome Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 well.. I recently aquired this GIANOURMOUS old gateway 2000 case that I plan on modding for modern hardware. the thing has four 5.25 bays, and four floppy bays on the front. so at the very least I can have one optical bay for the FB2.0 card and selectors, and use a floppy bay for the cart port. personaly.. I'm no so concerned about showing off guts, but I may throw some wood grain contact paper on there at the controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out my gallery under my mods section for what my computer looks like and you'll see what I am talking about. I'm replacing the Hellsing front with a custom Atari 2600 front, the dvd-rw going to be disappearing and depending on an external. Making all the sides plexiglass, and also cutting holes for fans in appropraite locations. The single 5 1/4 drive will house the joystick ports and buttons secured in a piece of metal, and the top will have a hole cut for a cartridge slot. I am also going to mount the controls inside a little bit, and using the ghost mod like you see in one of the pics. Instead, it will be on a hinge, so you just pull down, turn on, and go!

I just loving surprising people, with my small ass case, because its just much more fun to do mods to that, being its all limited. Besides, Plexiglass is always cool Chrome would look cool, I should chrome the little bit of metal, that'll make it stand out.

BeerGnome Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I like the small form factor mods for all the wierdness folks have been doing.. but theres something to be said about the looks on folks faces when they enter the den of inequity here with all the operating and networked equipment and assorted "crap" seems as though the wall of technology is impressive. my actual latests mod is complety on computer related.. well.. sorta.. my new entertainment center is a late 60's console stereo, the kind that had the runers and turntables and 8track players and speakers all built into one giant piece of furnature. the thing is made of oak with a birds eyemaple vaneer. unfortunatly all the componants were long stripped from it, and the only thing left in it were the speakers. wich turned out to be of remarcably good quality. once I rewired them.. they sounded perfect.. and incredible! so here we are with it having new electronics in the form of my old stuff with satilite TIVO dvd player, and considering the bottom cabinet where one would store records was so huge.. all that stuff fit in there to one side, with a fabricated shelf hold four vint game consoles into a installed sytem selector switch going to the TV. damn thing looks damn classy and allthe componants are hidden perfectly with the doors closed. now.. i could move the TIVO from the middle cubby, and turn that space into a speaker enclosure for center channel so at this point I would have the front surrond up front all in one enclosed space..

ATARIeric Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 is that water cooled ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) Yup, that's the radiator in the back and the pump in the front. I wish it was mine, that's such an awesome mod. I'll be really happy once I get the plexi and make the flashback (possibly a cut down 2600A ) intergrade into my system.

gulag picture radio Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 well.. I am having this case chromed 856225[/snapback] I've been wanting to chrome an Atari forever, but it's been hard to find a place to do this for me. Also (unless I have my facts wrong) I would have to sand an Atari to a mirror finish first so that the chrome would also be mirror finished. that's a lot of work that I haven't had time to devote to it. Tell me I'm wrong coz I'd love to have a Terminator Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIeric Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) I put off modding a pc and now my cooling system is outdated check out my system, isnt she beautiful shes almost done i like calling her "my box o mods" all she needs is a CB radio, some bells and whistles Breaker Breaker, this is the mod maker, anyone got their ears on ?

Songbird Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 So Curt, will this unit be dual-power? As in either batteries or DC power supply? If I can only have one, DC power is the way to go, but battery power sure is nice to make it portable. (Not that I couldn't make a D-cell external pack, kind of like the Lynx has...)

Esper Wizard Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Now that E3 is taking place, I was expecting to see more info about the Flashback 2.0. I would like to see a picture of the motherboard, the official list of games included with the system, and maybe to hear testimonies of people's reactions to the Flashback 2.0s at Atari's booth. Has anybody gone to E3 who would like to comment on the Flashback 2.0 displays? Or is everyone too busy with the PlayStation 3 and the XBox 360? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Okay so why is it that Atari has to go and put their jackassed new Fuji all over it? If they are so into creating something that is true to Atari's past they can start with the logo. The system looks great, the Fuji looks bastardized.

ATARIeric Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) 1" 25mm square! non scratch non fade. Hopefully big enough to cover the jackassed fuji logo I like the computer case badges better myself. That was taken with my old camera months ago, I will take a better picture today/tomorrow and show you, Edited May 18, 2005 by ATARIeric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a second? Adventure 2? Interesting development there...I can see where the trouble comes in for the 5200 version by Ron there...and there's a sequel to Haunted House, Asteroids, and yes! Yars Return is legitimate (I was wondering about that). Thrust is there as well. Man this is going to rock!

Shaggy the Atarian Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I'm surprised to see Save Mary on there. I thought there were some difficulties on getting that released, but it looks like they got around them. And of course, all the sequels.

ATARIeric Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 asteroids deluxe kicks ass! does that mean its gonna be like the arcade version of deluxe with the shield instead of hyperspace ? what about the the triangles that when you shoot it, they break down into small ships and come after you ? is it gonna be arcade style ?
