Your pictures show nothing of the case...
Take a shot of your whole desk, a corner shot showing front and left side, side panel shot (lights off), side shot with no side panel, then what else you want to display. Some of the pictures are worth keeping though.

Also add in your case brand, any overclocking, what heatsinks are used, temps, noise (guess..). Use my gallery as kind of a template, although some things are missing from mine.

What else?

I still need to spray the top and the other side panel + front, these are just pictures of half done i will be replacing them soon, but school takes my free time.

Any ideas of the color for the front?

And as i told this is an excuse of a computer +_=?

No one has made any negative comments on his hardware. and may some ppl just dont think is case is pretty

Anywho.. "why do ppl put side panel window on their computer?".. to show off whats inside right?
that being said. You should keep the inside clean. Theres a lot of dust in there that just makes it look ugly. Wires need alot of work too.

Im not a big fan of having fans mounted on the window and die cut panels... it just blocks the view. But ill give you props on the cutting, might wanna go back with a file and smooth out the edges and repaint.

Back to the hardware since he mentioned replacing some of it.... If you really are considering replacing cpu cooler... dont bother with water cooling on a AMD Athlon 3000+ you'd just be wasting your money same with the vid card since its an AGP.
But then again you said this isnt your REAL gaming PC and just an experiment why bother with new hardware?

Quoting this "Anywho.. "why do ppl put side panel window on their computer?".. to show off whats inside right?"

I cut it so I can see the inside, if i need do dust it all i need to do is just look to see if there is any dust and because I like the way it is cut.

Water cooling about that I already have one all I have to do is to put it in put, still i am going to buy an VGA GeForce 7600GS AGPX8 512MB, and a new cpu I don't know which one maybe the 3700+ Amd Athlon, which I will overclock.

This will be come much better after these performance upgrades, which I will be doing in january, Despite I have a lot of school work to do.

This is what I did to cut the panle:
1st:

First I designed the case panel on a piece of paper, the blue print on white paper :laugh:

2nd:

Then I put the design on the panel it self, as you see it has not been sprayed yet, cause if I had sprayed and cut it, it would of ruined the finish.

3rd:

I started to cut it.

4th:

Done and Before spraying it.
