Nice Job
![]() I think you should paint your crossfire bridges blue or black, blue might match with the plastic sleeving you are using. All in all, a very clean looking build, you can tell you took your time and put some thought into it. Behind the motherboard tray looks almost as good as the front. |

love the case, love the components, also the cable management and skill level of build are very high... aesthetically the HDD bracket in the 5" bays doesnt really match, and the fan controller looks out of place.
http://home.comcast.net/~johnlemvp/images/FT01_05.jpg Clean builds are better IMO, but keep in mind its IMO. Also if you really want to "blue" it out - get a cathode kit. Theyre like $20 and they will make your build look awesome. |

As for the cathode tube, Ive been entertaining that idea. There is a spot on the floor of the case that has nothing in it, I may out one there facing toward the top of the case. Thanks!
