To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Intel Core Duo E6300
3 Gb Ram
X-Connect 500w ps
ATI Radeon HD-3850
Gigabyte GA-965P DQ6

Mods:
Half Custom Watercooling, All wires hidden from view, Black painted interior, with UV red coolant, Front LCD displaying temps and speeds.

My first custom case, I'm still playin' with the speeds. I've got it stable at 3Ghz right now. I'm hoping if I buy better memory I can go farther!!! Runs at 37c and 42c under load. I love The clean look it has. Please comment with any suggestions!! Thanks for looking! Gotta have the lil' tv next to it too! The Custom drawer makes for some really easy access also.

Looks very good but I cant see where all your wires are going, they look fine its prob the black paint.

I give you a 9.5/10 (10/10) since I think you can guide the wires a little better.

heres a perfect picture of someones case http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/724
The second picture shows the wires perfectly.

nice case bro, I never thought to mount the hdd's back to front to eliminate the wiring, might give it a go...

How is that motherboard, my mate is looking at buying one, I personally dont like gigabyte but that model seems to have some good features

8.5 <--- only because of your vcard :p

Thanks! Yea I just couldn't wait to get the pics up, I'm gonna try painting the dvd drive black. If anyone has suggestions for the memory, I'll be taking them!! And the video card, well I'm just not a gamer, but I'll prolly upgrade just for the extra points! Thanks again everyone for the compliments... PS the dog is not for sale.. ;)

Very nice job, I really like the water level meter installed on the side window, looks like some time and thought went in to the build, I gave you a 10. Maybe when yo get better memory you could also get a better video card and power supply, that will help with a better overclock.

Nice case man. Check out my case (links in the sig) if you need any other ideas for wiring.

Question though, Is that a kink in your tubing on some of the pictures!?!?!?
