Even though it's relatively plan and the front of the case isn't the most aesthetically of pleasing. I think you've done a great job on it. 8/10. Eventually, and depending on your available funds, you should think about upgrading the heatsink, maybe something to match the red of y'cables.

:P

Thank you VERY much... I was thinking about adding the Cool Master Aquagate Viva dou to this case(belive it or not, I can fit this with only about a .5" sticking out of the top of case.)
I really only need the single set-up just for the VGA since it runs warm and the CPU runs cool with Everest 1 hour load test.(129' for VGA and 120' for CPU) The heatsink fan has a Aluminum frame that I used Artic silver around the frame to help make it part of the CPU heatsink ( I could not find a Aluminum framed RED led fan like Aerocool..)
 
You got an 8 from me. Really nice case mod. The hardware is meh, you should get a 3850, it will make your PC a real gaming machine....
 
great jo looks good i like the color scheme maybe get rid of that green fan that would look much better
 
I voted 10/10 because:

Sweet
 
Really small case... really hard to get things done....excellent!!!
I like it, mods are good, hardware is good, colours are just too many, and I would like to know what does it sound like with all those fans...7/10

3850 ??? Can I run it with my PSU @ only 280 watts( I tryed to find a bigger PSU that will fit my slim case..)
 
8/10 from me, looks really sci-fi' ish to me ( in a good way ), excellent.
 
This is what I call serious modding! It's unique and awesome looking! 10/10
 
I voted 10/10 because:

Awesome job davejr!!
 
9/10

Very sweet! Will you be doing anything to the exterior part (the original silver portions)?
 
Now that I can see it, it's an easy 10! Very beautiful, and very impressive.
 
You have crammed a lot of work into a very small case. That's what impresses me the most. Although I'd have to say that all the LEDs and multiple colors are not really my 'cup of tea'... the fact is that you built it the way YOU want it to look. I'm also impressed that you did so well on cable managment conidering all the fans you have.

You get 8/10 from me.
 
Davejr1969, you done very well. 8/10 deserved!
 
I voted 4/10 because:

Nice mods and stuff but sheesh a 8400GS? 1gb of ram? its too flashy for what it actually has in it imo 4/10
 
Sheesh^^^ I thought this was a CASE gallery, not a performance gallery^^^
I GIVE 9.0/10,........Very cool
 
Very good! Thank you for introducing me to the number 13! I'd like to shake his handz. 9/10 for the kewl mods! A bit of a side note though... I believe you are wrong.. you dont have 13 fans.. you have 14.. Count me in as one of your fans.
