Mods:
Painted Cabinet inside for a really nice effect! Spent quite a lot of time on Cable management, which i'm pretty content with atm. Made a "Powerstrip" to distribute power round the case without a lot of wires. Added Purple Neon, to give an extra "soft" glow in addition to the Blue fans. Much more to come, at a later time. :)

I Finally got my new Motherboard, Memory and Processor mounted and so I added a bit of light, and tried to do a good cable management, and I think it worked out pretty good! It runs like a devil (compared to what i had before, check that out here: http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/978.html) and i havent even started playing with OC'ing yet. Please submit a Rating vote, and comment, telling me what you think, and what i could/should improve. Thank you.

Nice system and nice cable management, only one thing remove the yellow tape from the back FAN its strange. And u put the FAN's to eject air for outside the case or to inject inside memory?

bye

He he, Of course, Neohazard.. Dont know how that slipped my eye/mind.. Will be removed next time i clean the machine.. I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but i'll tell you what I've done. In the very front i have a 120mm fan sucking air in, and pushes it past the hard drives. In the top of the case i have a 90mm fan sucking fresh air in from the top and pushes it down towards the CPU cooler and the 80mm (the very bright blue one) that blows on the memory modules. The fan on the Zalman cnps9700 pushes the air towards the 120mm in the back of the case (The one with the yellow stripe) that pushes it out of the case. Thats about it. Tha airflow in the case works real well, and i have no real problems with heat in this case. Yet, that is. I have just yesterday put the new motherboard and CPU in it, but i very much doubt that it will generate enough heat to cause any problems.. Hope this was informative :) ..Thank you both for the vote, btw. :) Keep 'em comming!
