Specs:

Mods:
Removed upper fan mount and cut hole for 140mm fan.Modified PCI slots for vertical gpu.Modified psu mount, extended for more room up top.Added CF 3M film and removed drive mounts.Modded front I/O for USB 3.0 and USB C 3.1

Had this old CoolerMaster Stacker painted by Smooth Creations, number 47 of 400 cases, for years. I have built many systems in it. I use it for work and editing photos and video nowadays. They don't make em like this anymore. Crappy cable management, but its all aluminum, converts to reverse atx and has great air flow. Love the paintwork too.

I don't disagree with an average rating. Most of the mods are I did are unseen and I kept the case as stock looking as I could. Compared to the mods that rate better, most of them deserve a higher rating.
