Do you have a 120mm fan at the front? Put a filter move the stock rear fan to the front and put a Antec 120mm fan at the rear. Put a Antec/Coolermaster quiet 80mm fan on the cpu side panel. Then watch the temp difference.

I have the same case that I got for $20 after MIR at compusa. The case is heavy and sturdy.

I used this for a Athlon XP 2400 mobile overclocked to 2400Mhz. That one runs hot load temp was 60C in summer.

I used to run 4 hdds, 2 burners, HIS 1600 pro, Sound card, Firewire card.

Wiring can be easy, drag molexs that power like fans and stuff that dont need to be in the case onto the back panel and either tape or hotglue them down so u can get the panel on, easy and looks great

Theres awesome tubes from Xoxide that have neon lights around the tubes, get them in UV, so they make your UV coolant bright as a fog light

Yea, have you been to Xoxide? Great place, be sure your liquid is UV for that great look. Even some UV paint to match it would be awesome, and don't forget about that thanks button =D
