Did you really vote 6/10? Or did you see a vote of 6/10 and then vote 1 and change your comment?

I voted 10/10 because:

I told ya, this is totally wicked

Even though it's relatively plan and the front of the case isn't the most aesthetically of pleasing. I think you've done a great job on it. 8/10. Eventually, and depending on your available funds, you should think about upgrading the heatsink, maybe something to match the red of y'cables.

:P

Thank you VERY much... I was thinking about adding the Cool Master Aquagate Viva dou to this case(belive it or not, I can fit this with only about a .5" sticking out of the top of case.)
I really only need the single set-up just for the VGA since it runs warm and the CPU runs cool with Everest 1 hour load test.(129' for VGA and 120' for CPU) The heatsink fan has a Aluminum frame that I used Artic silver around the frame to help make it part of the CPU heatsink ( I could not find a Aluminum framed RED led fan like Aerocool..)

You got an 8 from me. Really nice case mod. The hardware is meh, you should get a 3850, it will make your PC a real gaming machine....

great jo looks good i like the color scheme maybe get rid of that green fan that would look much better

I voted 10/10 because:

Sweet

Really small case... really hard to get things done....excellent!!!
I like it, mods are good, hardware is good, colours are just too many, and I would like to know what does it sound like with all those fans...7/10

3850 ??? Can I run it with my PSU @ only 280 watts( I tryed to find a bigger PSU that will fit my slim case..)

8/10 from me, looks really sci-fi' ish to me ( in a good way ), excellent.

This is what I call serious modding! It's unique and awesome looking! 10/10

Thank you Thank you Thank you....sooooo much work making it all fit !!!

9/10

Very sweet! Will you be doing anything to the exterior part (the original silver portions)?

Now that I can see it, it's an easy 10! Very beautiful, and very impressive.

You have crammed a lot of work into a very small case. That's what impresses me the most. Although I'd have to say that all the LEDs and multiple colors are not really my 'cup of tea'... the fact is that you built it the way YOU want it to look. I'm also impressed that you did so well on cable managment conidering all the fans you have.

You get 8/10 from me.

Davejr1969, you done very well. 8/10 deserved!

I voted 4/10 because:

Nice mods and stuff but sheesh a 8400GS? 1gb of ram? its too flashy for what it actually has in it imo 4/10

Sheesh^^^ I thought this was a CASE gallery, not a performance gallery^^^
I GIVE 9.0/10,........Very cool

Very good! Thank you for introducing me to the number 13! I'd like to shake his handz. 9/10 for the kewl mods! A bit of a side note though... I believe you are wrong.. you dont have 13 fans.. you have 14.. Count me in as one of your fans.

Add a stand alone psu(external meanwell) and run a cord it would be a beyound kickass pc than, still a solid 9/10

You might have better luck just getting red leds and modding the fan itself.

---

Do you have any ideas ??? ( a few and in detail..) Thanks...( P.S. The silver exterior is deep metal flake and kinda looks cool, but I'm open. ANYTHING more I can do and NOT get TOO MUCH CLUSTER F@%K looking, I'm ready !!! I want this to be the WILDEST Dell 531s in the world...I have over $400 in this mod. now, so money is no big deal. Thinking about adding the Coolmaster Aquagate viva duo water cooling system. I have done the math and enginering, and it will fit with just a .5" of rad. sticking out the top of the case....... Thanks for all... Dave jr..

TO TELL THE TRUTH , The green fan idea came to be when I saw a marijuana leaf fan grill, and I thought "cool, a pot leaf with green light behind it" but the problem is the grill only comes in 120mm size( kilbox ). Hope to fix that soon !!!!!

Would still look better red

Yep.. I agree. Green and red are exact opposites. Also, green + red = christmas colors/candy/toyish colors. And tbh, Im really not a fan of LED fans.. makes you rig look like a toy.. plus, red/green/ and blue? It looks like you just grabbed hold of any LED fans out there just for the sake of lighting it up.. that is what? like.. so 1999?

Wow. You're the comeback kid of TPU.

Good job, 7/10.

With such serious cooling why aren't you OC'ing this babe?

I got most of the mods. at frozencpu.com. This site is the best..... And a few things from newegg.com... This is my first REAL computer that I got in November 07'.( My old computer was a Pen. 2 system that was never used.)
When I first went on this site and seen the gallery, I said" I must do that, and like NO one else...."... I knew NOTHING about computers two months ago !!!!!!!!!!
I started by removing EVERYTHING inside case, having the inside coated with blue Metelcast, ( next time I will pay for clear coat !!! )and slowly putting everything back in....
When I thought about cooling, I could not fit a 80mm fan INSIDE, so I went with the 40mm fans, one on each of everything thats needs cooling.( cutting holes in acrylic was a pain in the ass.. )
Getting all the inverters and cables hidden or covered was VERY hard..Wraping the red EL wire around the spiral wrap was 'I think' the coolest thing...
I spent my entire two week christmas vacation on this mod, 60 hours EASY !!!! And I have over $400 in just the mods... Crazy , I know..
The case is a Dell 531s(slim model, only 4" wide, TINY !!!!)I wanted a case that nobody has, and trick it out like no one has !!! I think I did it... Wait till you see the duo water cooling I will be adding soon, it will all fit in this case...
TO ALL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME A 1 VOTE DID IT AT 4:30 A.M., 20 MINUTES AFTER I POSTED IN GALLERY... DON'T CARE, I'M SURE HE HAS NO LIFE OR SEX, HA HA HAA....

Very nice. Wouldnt be my choice of colours but still top marks.

I know this is going to be a big hassle man, but can you mesaure the size of the psu??? I'm asking because I can't find the psu specs anywhere...
Dude, its a kick a$$ system and I'm glad you kept to it! aweasome work!

Very nice! It is obvious a lot of time and planning went into this. 10/10!

Some posts suggest installing a 3850. But surely the csae will only take low profile cards.

Thank you for seeing that.( MANY p.m.'s telling me what I should do, most of which will NOT fit in my case ????) this is a Dell 531s (slim model 4" wide) THANKS TO ALL WHO VOTED !!!!!!
P.S. After loading this case with all these mods. and hidding most of the electronics, I'm going to add a seperate power supply (Thermaltake purepower power express 250w. Model #W0099RU)that will HIDE in place of the media card reader, and a duel water cooling system (Cooler Master aquagate viva duo) that will HIDE in top of case....With this mod. I will be able to add water cooling AND upgrade to the BEST low-profile VGA ...( EVERYBODY, PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE THE BEST "LOW-PROFILE" NVIDIA CARD)I'm crazy, I know..This case is SOOO thin.. It takes hours and hours of thought experiments and 420 to engineer how to route and hide everything !!!! The CC lights I used a little strip of blue electrical tape to hide the glare and also lightly painted them with translucent blue paint to make them less white-blue and make them a deeper blue... MANY little things that takes soooo much time..BUT I LOVE IT, WE ALL DO, LOL.....THANKS TOO ALL !!
