Looks great. Very clean. 10/10

The way you guys can route wires where you can't see them is far beyond me. It appears the newer cases are designed that way or do you just find holes ? I know my XaserII is almost impossible to hide the wires. =(

Like the silver-black contrast. Originally, I was thinking of doing something similar with my TJ09, like painting the fan grills all black and the inside all black with an all black EVGA motherboard.

Cable management is awesome as well as the overall color scheme :)
Cleanliness is superb, I hope you maintain it that way :)
