Removed everything due to PSU failure...painted inside black. Removed hdd mounting at bottom of case and mounted hdd at the top moved psu to bottom.

Well looking at your "The Third(No revisions)" I can see there is quite a bit of color matching and nifty lighting that also goes with the general theme which is probably why it got high scores.

"The 2nd: FINAL REVISION" just doesn't have the pizazz of the aforementioned one. The wiring is clean and it looks cool but it just doesn't have the mandatory amount of flare. It also clearly falls far from the Apple level of sleek (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

I didn't vote on it, really because I didn't know I could vote on it until about 3 seconds ago. (Heck I didn't even know that I could click on pictures to make them bigger...) Additionally I'm color blind and completely style inept. My computer reflects my ocular inadequacies and looks somewhat like a bicycle being attacked by a bear.

Nice paint job! I like how you added rubber matting for the c/m holes and cool idea moving the hdd cage to the top. It's nice to see when people actually perform "mods" to their rig, rather then just slapping really good hardware in a case and getting a high score. 7/10 from me :)
