Nice Job dude,
How well does that graphics card run off that FDD power cable ???
BTW I like the way you fit the fan through the window, looks like a perfect fit ... "6" for you.

Thanks!

The FDD power cable is to power the x1600pro 512MB AGP. The PCIE version of x1600pro don't have the external power connector. I read somewhere that AGP slot can not give power like PCIE slot. That's why AGP version need external power.

Without that hole, the Zalman VF900CU-LED can not fit into the box...

Fresh air for GPU every time. Now I am thinking to make a hole on the other side, put a pipe for fresh air way to CPU. Maybe next mod project...

Thanks for comment on the drive.

It looks very distinguish between the drive and casing because the flash/photo. But, in real world, it is not obvious. It is blend nicely with the case. Hmmm... Hopefully I can take another photo without flash to show it.

Small is beautiful. Especially if you have small room to live (like me). Easier to carry also if you always move to another place (like me also). My only complain with my casing is it is too noisy. Still do some fan modification in order to bring down noise to (my wife) acceptable level (at night). I hope my next casing will be Shuttle brand one.

The price of that fan is more scary. around S$ 90 for $250 VGA card...

Total weight is 6.4KG. I don't know whether is heavy or not?

Quite light for a average mini-atx casing. At first glance i knew it was your computer cause of your graphics card and the cooler =X

You should get a silver fascia/bezel for that LG drive, Im sure you could find one on the net (possibly ebay)
