Well I found this case at the dump. I replaced the Plexi glass it looked like shit originally. Lighting, Cable managment, wrapped the cables in blue tape =P. Wired the cathodes to not use a switch (cleans up the wires)Made all of the stickers, they are just cardboard cut outs. Replaced the plastic things that hold the Plexi holders with nice lookin screws.

I highly Suggest clicking through to see the full highres pics. Also you can see the LAN party pic lol. That was only one wall of system, we tripped the circuit breakers in his house like 4 times rofl.

I think this case rocks man, good job!
Your spec is cool so as the looks of your case. I think it's great.

One point that I think it brings the whole thing down is the Blue Orb.
It's not going to cool your CPU that well and they copy ZALMAN.

In Conclusion, I think it' great, the case is big and look tough.

Actually the blue orb rocks serious cock. Its controlled by my mobo settings and it barley even turns on unless I'm playing oblivion. It runs at like 29 C Over Clocked from 2.21 to 2.8. It cools amazing. And the Zalmann costs way more. Also, I love the logos, its unique and makes it exciting.

Sorry another post by me, I just cleaned up even more wires, One of the hard drives gave me problems so I pitched it and got an IDE cable out of there, power cables out of the way, even cleaner now. Hopefully I will post updated pics soon

You did a really nice job with the wire hiding. I also love the overall "blueness".

Very nice overall. Like the matching of the blue case w/ the blue Led's. The pic Doesn't do the rig justice. This rig is amazing in person.

lol, You found a Thermaltake XaserIII in the dump... where do you live? In beverly hills or somewhere like that? maybe I should start to go and take the garbage out, It may pay out really good :p

really nice rig, I would paint the interior to make it look better, and get rid of those stickers, way to much of them..
