What is the best accessory to put on a Semi-Gaming PC?

logo897 · 04 Jan 2016

Hello,

I just have a pc that I game on and the specs are listed underneath my profile pic.

<------

I know the gpu is old but it is all I really need at the moment for my games. I basically do not want to upgrade hardware but want to put something inside of it that makes it look more like a gaming pc, or gives it a unique look.

I was thinking maybe a glass side panel? However I do not know where I can find one.. Maybe LED lights? Though, I'm not too savvy with that stuff.

I included a pic below

Thanks in advance!

You have a unique look already with that con-jumbled mess of wiring and harness.
In my opinion the first thing need is to straighten that mass/mess of wiring up.
It's called cable management.

Adding lights without a side window really doesn't do much. You can't see the lights.

I have no idea what looking like a gaming PC means.

If you want to look at some builds so you can get a idea how things are done here is a very long thread with lots of pictures.

Forget the looks. Make sure it gives you optimal performance. An SSD may come in handy.

Would suggest gettin yourself a new Case for that system. Can that system breathe in there just fine?

My system can breathe fine and yes I guess I should neaten the wires a bit, I thought it wasn't an issue really.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that thread.

Do they make custom side panels though?

I am not sure if I want a whole new case for it..

If your computer can breathe just fine then don't buy a new case :)

Yes there are people who modifies cases but you won't worry about the price because most of them make a reasonable price.

What I see is cables/harness blocking air flow and no case fans. Their is probable a case fan in the front somewhere.

To me one starts with basics.
Case air flow and cable management is basic. Then you buy some chrome and make it look fast.
