I know... no real mods here! It is built for my cousin..... and he did not want any drilling or painting done on this... maybe next year!

pic7 is a detail of the IXTREMA fan, and the cables shown there are a minor detail in a zoomed in picture and I did put a cable wrap on later (no picture, though)... Actually this is not the baby Armor, it is the Armor+ for extended ATX mobos... it is a super tower, not a midi tower!

what do you guys think about 3dmark06 score?

All right the reason I gave you a 10.. Its your first mod, and by far its the best Mod for a noob at it I've seen in so long. I've seen the project log of the system, and I'm glad to see its finally done man! 10/10

Excellent build, top notch hardware overall. Wiring can be improved but it looks good already so Its not really important.
