I was bored so turned an old rosty HP pavilion 745t case in to a nice home for my i7 rig. When i started i didnt made pics of the begin cause didnt know whats gonna comes out i made it without a plan but i surprised myself in the end lol .I love the new i7 and x58 harwares cause so much power can be placed in to a so tiny place. my only problem was to mount the PSU cause the screwholes are upside down so the psu fan is on the top but stil i geting nice temps MY ROOM TEMP:28-30c,Idel CPU:54c at 2.9ghz, NB:53c, SB:45c MB:35c

WOW! i was doin something like this as we speak but im waiting on the final parts. its going to be a old P4 dell case tho with a 775 setup. This mod is AWESOME! i give a 10/10 for good creativity and modding. The only thing you might wanna do next if figure out some better cooling solutions like maybe a single rad water solution or a highend cooler that might fit in there. :)

here is pics of mine before

this case not been made to competite the big names whos working whit high precision expensive tools,i made cause similar quality and size cases cost over 50$ what can support large graf card. i only used a drill mashine whit heads for metal,a 180mm metal cutter disc and some screw driver.

I voted 7/10 because you spent your time, money, efford on a small and less ventilation case with a giant and hot GPU inside. However, cable needs some work...maybe use some ziptie and tie them somewhere on a side so more air can get through and cool down that GTX 295.

and thanks for voting 1/10 on my case ;) We all cool. BTW, this is my third case. I actually did some modd. on my P182 and my HAF 932 too. But I gave the cases away since I got this case.

Good Day Now

i voted a 9/10 because of how creative you got with such an older case. I did the same to a hp pavilion called The Green Mini. I like the window mods and the paint job. Maybe a lil more on the cable management and more air to cool that gpu. Great work. Please feel free to rate mine
