Give me a few days, I'll make you a site gallery to upload your photos to and make it look clean.
I'll just clone my Gallery2 install and import export my sql database and give you full rights to it so you have a decent photo gallery.

Very nice mod. Just hope you don't take that to LAN parties. The gas money it takes to lug that thing surely outweighs any prizes you may win :P

I like how it is called stealth...lol. Bet it is quiet...so I am guessing that is where the name came from? J/K dude. It is an awesome case. Never seen anything like it 7/10. =)

I agree I never seen anything like it before, very slick and modern. the stealth panels you made for the drive are genius 10/10 here.

@ princeshawn420- using PCapex PSU calculator, shows about 540watts, & I'm only using 2 cables from the Enermax modular 720watt PSU, So it sounds about right. @ sandmanhawg- thanks for noticing & a 10. @ paybackdaman- I named it stealth mainly because of the turbine fans & mostly black theme, Also to me it's quiet, thanks for the vote. @ papa2544- Thanks for your genius & 10.
