I dunno. Sometimes the best effect is just the lights from the motherboard, RAM, and fans coming through an etched window...it catches on the Frosting...

Yea I did the same, makes my case weight a ton. I consider it more a theft deterrent than sound isolation because I dont think it really does anything! I dont see a burglar wanting to run off with my 40 pound massive case lol

Heres some pics I just took. Still lots to do on this aging build, but I dont feel a real need since its still fast enough for me.

meh my pc is noisy but i dont care, but id rather it be noisy than get hot, i have 2 profiles in CCC, gaming and desktop, in desktop, its pretty damn quiet and in gaming mode its fairly noisy but cool, if im gaming i either have my headphones on or my speakers turned up loud so its a win win situation, until a good silent cooling solution comes out at the right price(key factor), this will do me just fine

Timeline of my Antec 182 Gunmetal black

My Antec case has gone thru some changes in the last year.. here all stages it was in:

1)With my old 939 socket DFI Lanparty mobo and a crappy GPU


2)With my DFI Blood Iron which i killed with one of kexxx´s bioses and a even more crappier GPU


3)With my current DFI Dark P35 on Air


4)With my current DFI Dark P35 on Water

I wanted to try water cooling to understand it, but I've always had success with air. I figured I'd get a nice loop with current equips, and then resell all of the parts after my experimentation. So far no problems. I loved the experience but for the rest of the term I have with this PC I want it on air

I'm in the process of putting her all back together with a 4870x2 and a different case. I've got pics of a practically identical system in an Antec 900. Same ram, same mobo, E8600 E0, but a different PSU. Hey! While I'm at it that's where my rigs go. 22" flat screen and a vinyl made to look like wood
