Yes this was my first time cutting up metal and spray painting hence the crooked edges and scratched off painting(single layer).Beginners job. :D, Modifying the Antec 300 was fun because the case is marvelous compared to other similar sized cases, such as the cable management at the back had no troubles and fitting in a 5870, no troubles, very good case, now even better with the modification
cooling enhanced by over 9000%.

Not sure why you would knowingly execute a poor rushed mod,, Then present it to the public, Based on that I would have to give what you gave 3/10

nice job. love the clrs. if onl u can get those wires organized. 6/10...Looking back on your pc again got me actually using some brain power. 1.bad paint job... its obvious u dont know much about paint seeing that red drooling all over. 2. that case is so wrong for the components u choose to put it-very tight fit u couldnt add an extra gpu if ur life depended on it. 3. wiring - like a nest....need i say more. So far all i see is unfinished work so ill scratch my vote until there is something good to look at. "PIMP MY ANTEC 300"...was that a joke? if not you have insulted this case

That actually looks pretty cool! Can't say I've seen red/silver them before:p All the mods are nice, if you can just spend some time cleaning up the cables this case will looks sick! Good job so far man! 7/10

btw, I think he is referring to Mtv's Pimp My Ride show and I thought it was funny. I would say his mod wasn't entirely poor either. A for effort bro!
