To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2.5Ghz OC'd
2GB Kingston 667Mhz RAM
ASUS M3N78-EMH-HDMI mATX Motherboard
Xpert Vision 8600GT Graphics Card
500W PSU
LG DVD-/+ RW Optical Drive
Maxtor 160GB SATAII HDD
Maxtor 300GB IDE HDD

Mods:
Front 120mm LED Red Fan, Rear 92mm LED Red Fan, Side 80mm LED Red Fan, 2 x Lasers Red Lights, Front Thermal detector for temps and fan speeds with flip up screen and card reader.

I have just added a system cooler inside next to my gfx card containing 2 80mm fans to keep the temp down inside. And I know I need to sort out my cable management. So plz, don't bother pointing that out. Also getting my new 8800GTS and new 4GB 800mhz RAM soon. So will be even better. XD

Settle down decaff, cable management will always be one of the #1 things mentioned in the case mod gallery.

On topic: I think it looks nice so far, keep up the good work :) My only question is your airflow... I noticed your rear fan is an intake, so is your front fan an exhaust?

no, my front fan is intake too. all 3 of my fans r intakes, i have just put in a heat extractor in the bottom back plate to get rid of all the air once all my fans have blown in a lot of air. i have also just put in a system cooler consisting of 2 80mm fans stuck together that slots in above the pci slots on my mobo. it screws into the back plate screw holes and blows more air onto my my gfx card and mobo. for a tenner, u cnt complain. reduced my gfx temp from 65 idle to 45 idle XD
