Nice paint job, good cable management and it looks a lot better then before. I really like the little NB fan mod :) Nice and clean 8/10
 
I love those northbridge fans (or more the way you attached them), but are they actually cooling or just making a lot of noise
7/10
 
Yap i confirm they are cooling the chipset.I ve done it many times.
But why dont u even bother mentioning your 4850 crossfire x?
 
ahah yes!

well i be dammed, i did forget to mention my Crossfire setup, yeh i got the northbridge fans hooked up to my scythe fan controller so i turned them down just a tad so i dont hear them. those are the reason my system is stable. it was a needed

i just dont understand why any of these can be classed as mods!? its simply adding in fans which anyone can do. looks nice but nothing new 5/10
 
if you go back to the first post you will that I painted the interior black and custom mounted fans on the northbridge with aluminum wire. i did a fan in but its nothing new.also i redid the cable management and there is a comparison to old look and the new with pictures.
This is just an updated pictures post



The added pictures were just to show case it a little better with a new camera.

Please look at the the actually Case gallery post and pictures before you comment.

thanks!
