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?

8/10 i really liked this case and the specs are pretty good, but the stickers on the front i didn't like :(
 
I voted 10/10 because:

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
 
Incredible (9/10) tzitzibp! Love your specs! OC it mow! 4.5Ghz can be topped on that Maximus of yours. Q(';,,;')9 RAWR!

thanks everyone!

unfortunately, no more OC, do not want to risk it....my cousin is going to take it home today, so i´m done with this....

however, keep voting... he will be very happy to see some more high marks... :)
 
10/10

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