3- The 3.5 pay at the top of the case has been modified to fit the 500GB WD hard drive instead of the designed place at the bottom of the case.
4- Water cooling (Tide Water Plus meant for cooling dual GPU has been modified to cool Intel Q6600 with the help of Swift Apogee GT water Block CPU socket 775). Non conductive Fluid-XP has been used as the coolant of choice for extra safety.

I voted 10/10 because:

I woted 10/10 because I will never see a case like that here in Sweden and it's the outside that counts.

EDIT: I'm having problems with my system, was gonna vote 8/10 because:
Unique and odd.

Sorry for that..

This is the fourth time you have posted this case on TPU.

Boo! You should have just left the first time on here since you got a better vote that time. Have you noticed how every time you have posted this, your rating has gotten worse and worse?

I have won rig of the month before so I know how nice my computer is. I don't care about the rating this much, whoever gives me low rating is just jealous!

I might be deleting the post AGAIN! and reposting new pictures with some lil new mods. I don't see anything wrong with that. Its not like I have repeted posts..

As long as you are having fun.

Case of course get's a 10. I just ignore the internals as the HW spec and arrangement can always change...

How's that Tidewater working for you?
