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

WOW! With the size & wieght of that monster, the wheels are not just for show.

Really astounding job!
by steelkane (May 9th - 3:38 PM) - Reply
@ mon74, I looked a long time for them wheels, glad I found them & thanks for the WOW!,, @ r31ncarnat3d, If I do take it to a Lan party I"ll have to rent a tow truck,, LOL, Thanks for viewing

nicely done steelkane. the detail work inside and out is amazing. i almost see no wires. very clean, it also looks very technical 10/10
by paybackdaman (May 12th - 7:34 PM) - Reply
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. =)
by papa2544 (May 12th - 9:36 PM) - Reply
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.
by steelkane (May 12th - 11:35 PM) - Reply
@ 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.

looks pretty good. i like how those fans look. i see a few aerocool turbines, i think. also it looks like you have white led's, i was thinking of doing something like that with my case. and then use all silver SATA cables (which i already have) and silver sleeves for the power cables. looks good though. solid 8 from me.

How the hell did I miss this monster?...

Very nice job of packing so many wires into the case, wheels add a nice touch.

PS:nicely done with the metallic paint.

@ Spacegoast- That sounds like a good ideal fro the silver power & sata cables, Thanks for a solid 8. @ MKmods- thanks for noticing the W/M, wheels & paint.
PS: lol on the monster

Good Work. IMO the 3 white face fans kind of ruin the 'Stealth' look.

I kinda agree, but 80mm slim fans with white leds are the only fans I could find to fit,, I'm making a new side for it now,, I will update it when done, thanks for you time
by r31ncarnat3d (June 1st - 10:14 AM) - Reply
Very nice and clean, and your case is awesome. And I give you extra points for air cooling that beast instead of opting for watercooling :)

Like your side panel too. It shows just enough, and at the same time hides enough of the inside for you to hide your wires. Pretty nice.

10/10

Just one thing I could find wrong with this mod: I hope you don't live in California, because during an earthquake, those wheels will make the case roll right off your desk :P

Thank for looking, wheels aren't for everyone, but they were needed, for bottom fan clearance & just easier to move around, thanks again for looking.

Kool, everything on the front panel, helps the system run better for me,, can't please the masses, but I'm pleased, thanks for looking.

WoW!!!This guy is the goods,it has been a long time since ive seen creativity like this, i have seen a lot of modded machines, but this guy thinks outside the box(no pun intended). If i were looking to get a box done, i would contact this guy.
His labor would probably cost ,But for the best i would be willing to pay, so listen up you people that are looking for new and exciting ideas insted of those played out old mods, contact this guy it's worth it.
Keep rocking steel.
ripping box.
