You may freely laugh to the hardware. But comment the case not the hardware, because I know that the hardware is out of date and sucks.

EDIT: 7/10 although I dont see where you made your improvements just by looking at the case I can kinda imagine

Thanks for the vote and comment. I posted some new pics and hope that those show clearer my mods, because I don't have beforepictures. The cutting (with the fan holes) weren't so tidy but they don't show and i will fix those when i paint the skeleton of the case..
 
i like how you cutted holes for them, thats cute

nice job, it looks really good... what kind of paint did you use? that came out really well... [alot better than any attempts I've made to recolor anything plastic.
 
Any mod is a good mod

Thanks. I used just the glossiest black spraypaint what I could get from the nearest hardware store. But I think the outcome could be better..
 
Nice case mod, I think if you sleeved the cables it will make it look that much better. 5/10
 
You get a 8 from me - just for not caring about your rigs specs, I mean come on, if it does what you need then why spend £500 on a bleeding edge processor?

You have worked really well with what you have, and thats what impresses me. Nice job mate.

Thanks mate! Yeah that's true. And actually almost every component in this is bought secondhand or found from a recycling center..
