I thought the HAFx came with built in cable management holes in the mobo tray I'd be using them as much as possible

Just found the last Dutch webshop that had one of these babies left under €100 (where €100 is already a ridiculous price):
Silverstone SG05 incoming ETA tomorrow. Fast shipping lads too

Seems the Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami/Nuclear problems have had quite an effect on Silverstone stocks over here...

Now I can finally make a true tiny little LAN machine I've already traded my m-ATX motherboard for a mini-ITX board with the same chipset. This will rock!

Pics will follow when the case arrives.

Don't know why that is seeing as they're made in China not Japan

Most likely shipping usually goes through a Japanese port or whatever. Maybe some parts are being made in Japan, I dunno. They're made in Taiwan btw, which is not far from Japan.

I've been told the same story by several stores though

the only thing I can think off that may (very low Possibility) be made in japan on silverstone cases is either the LED's or the on/off and reset switches other than that my SS rv02 say made in China not Taiwan

Thanks, gotta figure out what I'm going to do to cover some of the cables right at the psu. Might try and cut some black metal mesh to make half of a cube that slides over everything there. Who knows. Not a real big priority and can probably use a zip tie in the meantime to cinch them together.

Was my first time building a computer, goal was to build a rig that could run scII on extreme and play a 1080p video on my tv. Most stressful part was attaching the cpu cooler(didn't want it to be loose but didn't want to over tighten) and the seconds waiting for it to post.
Motherboard maybe a bit of overkill since I don't really oc, but I like the space it gives between the videocards so heat isn't a big issue.

Seeing all these great builds makes me want to pimp up my own rig. I'm thinking a nice set of decent case fans. Ambient lighting and an aftermarket cooler for my GPU.

Will post results when I'm finished (probably in about a month )

Thanks! One thing I absolutely can't stand is when you can see the LED or neon itself instead of just the light it gives off.

I bought flexible 3" led strips from auto zone that were meant for car use and have them wired up via moles to the 12v rail. Was pretty cheap and they're able to be tucked in small places out of sight

That'll be a great idea, that or a aluminum plate in black or something. Mesh you'll have to get mesh with very small holes so you can't see much behind it.

Lol yes those exact same ones. I used some self-glueing heat shrink I had, to make sure it would last more than 1 build. Pretty easy to rig to the 12v line
