Mods:
All fans in system bar GPU fan (that is, x2 120mm intake, x1 120mm spot fan, x1 rear 120mm exhaust, PSU fan, CPU fan) are connected to the zalman MFC-1 in the front panel, Ultra-120 rev 1.0 CPU cooler w/panaflow 120mm LOW RPM fan, GameXstream modded with ACRyan BlackFire fan hooked up to the zalman fan controller, 120mm ziptied to HDD cage to aid CPU/GPU cooling (10C drop in temps!), mounted cathode in front door to aid fan ajustments in the dark, replaced/removed various stock grills to aid airflow

This systems has evolved from its base build back in 2006. Pretty much built it to last me a while so iv got time to save up for a car..additions since the intial build are 4GB of RAM, the 8800, and the new case after years and years of specualtion as to what would replace my Antec 1080. I built this as my "anything and everything" system, as i cant be bothered maintaining more than one PC, hence the ample storage and heavy weight (17kgs at last check). Its also built to be dead silent, and it is possible once the HDDs spin down after a while...one of the sweetest things about the system.

cable management is a thing that i strived to get right in this case...theres not alot more i can actually do..i spent about 3 hours in the initial build running them alll...key thing you have to remember is that most of them run through the back panel, which is never seen unless im installing HDDs lol. notice the cable mounts in various spots on the case

you did a great job but for some reason the cables poking out above the hard drives really draws my attention

Yeah i noticed you had a fair whack at trying to hide the cables (You've done better than i have with my case lol) its just the green cables are eye grabbers xD

I also use green cables (well IDE and SATA) but I don't try to hide those :p (mainly because they draw attention away from other things)

Cable spaghetti under your desk :eek:

Get a powerstrip that you can SCREW under your desk at the back. Buy, or make your own, short D-power cables.
