It's nothing special, I do upgrades time-to-time on this system. Originaly case came with generic P4 PSU, changed to Corsair. HDDs were changed several times from IDE to SATA 2.5" until I exchanged everything to WD Raptor OEM version. Because Raptor was too lound in seek mode, I have fitted with Sharkoon HDD Vibe Fixer III to 5.25 cage & it almost removed any sound from WD. After using for some time integrated GPU, changed to Asus 85GT silent version, but the temperatures were too high for OC, so in the end I fitted Zalman VF900-CU. Because at one moment PC was too loud, I putted some sound proofing material at the bottom of the case & one side panel. Planing to respair main frame in black, change the CPU cooler & to put more sound proofing material, change Xilencer intake fan with Noctua one. ^^^ feel free to leave comments or suggestions ^^^

Post your commentI really like how clean your case looks. It gives me some ideas on how to improve the air flow in my system. Very well done.
Thanks SIMP, appreciate for comment. We can say it's my first custom build with upgrades/updates all the time.
I tried to put Scythe Ninja Rev. B cooler, but it's a such big thing. It couldn't lock properly in ASRock motherboard due to chipset cooler and capacitors in a way...so had to scrap it and put it on a side for other project, may be, back to AC Ultra Silent TC :)
