korhal · Mar 20, 2012

May sound funny but if you got ladies around, use old panty hose. Cut out a peice, put the fabric overtop on the internal, and secure it with a rubber band.

Or, if you want your case to be more manly you can get dust filters that screw on to the top of fans.

I like your case, and board and everything look sweet. Im biased, asrock is awesome, and red and black too, lol. Heres a really bad pic of my case.

korhal · Mar 22, 2012

Thanks. I built the corner table its on out of concrete, matte black to match the case. I also have a Tv/monitor above it in the corner, so everyone's teasing me about building a shrine to my computer lol.

Looks like nice hardware. Not to be a constant critic, but is there room behind the motherboard for wire management? Keeping all the wires in front doesn't look very good. It looks a little cluttered.

That's not all the cables, a lot are in the back. I have no option with a lot of the front ones
