Originally posted by gaiden Did you paint those drives purple yourself? Either way I wish I had that case...(drools)...besides the purple drives!
Yes, actually all I did was use a blue flat sharpie marker on the drives , it was cheap, fast, easy, ghetto, yet effective
The case is just terrific, and I'd recommend it to anyone. I love how spacious and lightweight it is too. And surpisingly affordable now too.
IF you want my color setup, I have all Coolermaster fans because they have lower decible levels than other fans, had pretty LED builtin, and sell for about 5 bucks a piece. The cold cathode is just a cheapo 20buck model I found online, and it's been working a long time now without issue.
So, if you're interested in my case gaiden, you could make one of your own for probably around a 100bucks total
BTW bretty, I love the modding job, as I have also custom installed my own case window.
My only advice would to space those PCI cards away from each other. First of all you'll get better air flow, secondly it will prevent magnetic interfearence between each other.
Heres another pic!
BTW, this picture is high-budge because I acually photoshopped the coffee stain out of my carpet!

I've just got a nice beige one, the case is good but beige...not so spiffy. Maybe I'll mod it some time but right now I've been upgrading. Just got the CPU, Mobo, PSU, and soon a half gig of RAM. I just need to decide which to get: Crucial 2100, 2700 or Kingston 3200. I hear that it's usless buying anything that doesn't run in sync with my FSB so I may just go for 2700 and clock it down snce it costs about the same as the 2100. I'm buying from www.shoprbc.com for sure so if you can let me know if the 3200 works better I'll buy it, but give me a site reference if you can.

I assume your CPU only runs at 266fsb? Yes you might as well get the PC2700 or faster, because not only will you be prepared for the future in case you want a faster CPU, but you also help overclocability. With 333fsb memory, you could overclock your cpu to a higher fsb with ease and not worry about memory timing or temperature.
PC3200? Well, its a matter of how much you are willing to spend. The faster the safer for your future purchases, so if you dont mind spending more for PC3200 then do it. But I definetly wouldnt go below PC2700 since the price difference isnt much from PC2100.
And I buy Crucial exclussively because I trust their quality
You can see my porno tapes in the last picture I posted. I never relized that!
DO'H!

The only thing I physically modded was a sitch for my lights. I put it into the floppy drive cover on the front behind the door. Everything else just took a lot of time is all I meant. It takes a lot of time to organize wires, get cathodes set up, and keep things clean looking all the time. I have yet to add a couple more LED fans, mod my power supply and fan, reorganize the wires on the inside, add a fan at the top, etc...

The case looks great, I would just flip that CPU fan grill right-side-up if I were you. Show off your thermal-take fan with pride!

Niiiiice cases! I'll post mine if I can get a decent picture once I get my 9700 and Antec 1000 AMG case. I might get a few of those fancy bubble lights too (those ones that make it look like water flowing through!). I'm getting the case for $103 Canadian. Know any better prices or cases for that price. I want a case that looks good with a window but I'll sacrifice looks for low noise and good cooling.

Have since changed some stuff since pics, put HD up top to get rid of wires. Added some UV spot lights to some dead spots I had... other stuff to. In those pics is a 9700 Pro, have gotten a 9800 Pro now.
