Performed Mods:

Chieftec Dragon case with some modifications over time... - Removed all 3 1/2in Drive bays - Painted Black/Gun Metal inside and out - Added 120mm Fan above 5 1/4in Drive bays - Hidden IR Sensor for TV Tuner in front - Cable management (not great I know)

Well my DFI RDX200 board decided that 2 of the 4 memory slots would stop working (this may have been due to a short just under the slots with a SATA cable routed behind the board. So upgraded to the following spec, and very happy with it so far.

Well as iv mentioned my old 939 board has started giving me problems (however its a cracking board for OCing)

Any constructive crticism is welcomed and suggestions. I may be slapping another 2 sticks of memory in to total 4GB.

Cheers

Cable managment, cable managment, cable managment. You have two choices, either hide the wires or spend so much time organizing and routing them that you will swear your fingers are going to bleed.

There is a lot of open space there which is going to make hiding the cables a challange.

Edit: Sorry, I failed to mention that I do like the mods you have performed. Functional and attractive. Keep it up!

I can't really say... I bought it pre-flashed off eBay. But I would guess so. But performance wise its very good!
