To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
ASUS P5LP-LE, Akasa Cool Blue CPU Fan, Pentium D 920 @ Stock, 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz 4-4-4-12, ATi Sapphire X850XT PCI-Express w/ ATi Silencer 5 Rev. 2, 4x 80mm Case Fans (2x intake, 2x extraction), 1x 120mm Extraction, Samsung DVD+/- Dual Layer ReWriter, Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 320GB SATA, Hiper Type R 480W PSU Dual +12V Rails, 19" LG Flatron M1917TM, Logitech MX1000.

Mods:
Taken off fan guards for best airflow. Cable management. Added an extra fan on top and an extra 120mm on the back.

Yeah, this is a pretty basic PC. Mid-ATX tower but with a Micro-ATX motherboard unfortunately. It can't overclock much because motherboard wasn't designed to do so...which kinda sucks ass. This is my first proper case, as the previous one was a standard HP case...yeah, I cut my finger installing this one, but shit happens, right?

5/10. It's a nice case, but I think you need better cable management. I would give it a 7/10 if it were cleaner.

I was floating in between 6 and 7, you ended up with a 6 because you are a regular here and should know that cable management is a BIG thing in the rating. If the wires would of been done nicely you would of gotten a 8 and with a good over clock a 9.

It's an LCD LG Flatron M1917TM.

As for cable management, I'm not very good at all that stuff....

And if the LED's would work I would have lights on the front, and I am fitting an LED CPU cooler today...where should I add some cathodes, where should I mount them?? Suggestions please.

humm maybe you have a bracket glued onto the back of your mobo. I had one I had to remove from my gateway pc to put the stock conroe cooler on. ( the stock conroe cooler uses plastic push pins, while the stock p4 coooler that was on uses screws and needed a bracket for the screws).

I hope not :( I don't wanna have to jack my motherboard back out again. I don't think it's that though, it may just be the split pins are just too big for the holes...

it looks like it imo. it looks like you got metal threads behind the holes for the stock cooler screws :(

Edit: did you notice a metal bracket behind the cpu socket when you had your mobo out? maybe its screws on your case? though you would know if you put screws for your cooler on your case. The braket was glued onto the back of my mobo with dbl sided sticky tape, but with a couple of flathead screwdrivers it came off before I knew it... just take your time, might have to use some force :S

OMG, I think I do remember!! Shit! I thought it was something to help separate the mobo from the tray.
