To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe @ 3.254
Transcend AxeRAM 2GB DDR2 @ 928
MSI P35 Neo2-FR LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX
EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB @ 648/1000

Mods:
To begin with I cut a 5in by 7in hole in the top of the case. I also cut the side vent out on the left side. I removed the hard drive holder and suspended it. I also added a switch to the front of the case that controls the three side fans.

nix the tape! Try snipping off the fan plugs and splicing the fans into a single set of wires and recrimp into single plug. You can find all the parts you would need on websites like performance-pcs.com and frozencpu.com

Then use sleeving and shrink wrap to add the final professional look. A little bit of effort in this area will go a very long way.

Until then, its a 6/10 for me. I might go as high as 8 with nothing more than cable clean-up.
