Modding Question

Does anyone know if modding your 8400 case would void the warrenty on the machine?

Thanks,
Willy

Hi,

I would be surprised if it didn't

If you had to call Dell for an on site visit, the Dell techie would expect to find a computer with the casing etc. in their original supplied state.

A modified casing could easily render your warranty void. It would be worth reading in depth the small print on your "terms and conditions of sale".

Curious, "why" would you want to modify the case?

Hi,

I suspect :-

Cooling, cooling or cooling or to fit something like lighting, illuminated (LED's) fans, round cables or any one of numerous goodies.

Or to fit a transparent side panel to "show off" what is inside the case.

You can actually buy transparent cases these days,

Don't ask me why

Ceri has got it. I have got my current PC in a DIY plexi case with lights and fans. Now I would stick with the DELL case but would be intersted in adding in my fan controller and cold cathode for the look. I could certainly understand if it voids warrenty so I was just checking it out.
