To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
AMD Phenom 9600 @ 2.5GHz
MSI K9A2 790FX Platinum Motherboard - 1.1B3 Bios
Scythe Katana II Heatsink
Sapphire HD3870 512MB
MSI HD3870 512MB
G.Skill 4x1GB DDRII PC26400
Samsung DVD +/- RW SATA
HEC Black Steel Case
Acer AL2016W 20" LCD
Thermaltake 600W Modular PSU

Used a Dremel to cut holes to hide the cables better. Added some foam on the bottom inside of the case. Other than that, nothing too special. Just a clean case with goodies. I think I did the best I could with the cable management. The case is limited.

post some pics with it all together and maybe running. but looks good so far. 7/10 i'll vote when theres more pics
 
Your spider is missing 3 legs, hence 3 video cards(or 3 gpus).


I vote fair on how your rig appears ATM.
 
More pics coming today or tomorrow. I took those right when it was built, more pics to come for sure.
 
Hey, did that heatpipe interfere with your vid card?
 
8/10. technically Spider = two or more GPU's but it sounds cool :p
 
I did some cable management today, cleaned things up big time. I updated the pics but the thumbs are showing the old ones for some reason. The case isn't the best case to hide cables, I did what I could with the almighty dremel tool. BTW, I dont have any cathodes or led fans so its pretty basic. The last pic shows how it looks when turned on... normal looking. I plan to add red led fans before it gets too hot here in Tucson. Here is my case if anyone is interested in it:

Zalman? Err for cheaper you could get a Xigmatek HDT S1283 which provides the top end performance... no idea why you would go for the Zalman over this cooler.
 
if you really want this to be a Spider PC I suggest you keep a lookout for t_ski's upcoming review :D and that's all I can say ;)

THAT WAS JUST A SUGGESTION!
 
Looks a lot better now:)


Going to up the score I gave a bit.
 
nice case nice sistem and clean 7 from me man
 
I voted 9/10 because:

nice cable management
 
cable management looks like mine so I voted 9, I don't think anyone deservs a nobel peace prize for thier rig :(
 
Any recommendations for what wattage PSU to get? Will 600-650 be enough for the current hardware along with 3 additional 120mm fans? I'm trying to stay with what I need.

500W Will be enough. Fans use barely any power (unless you are using deltas...) normally. I'd grab the corsair HX520 :) or the 450VX.
 
I voted 3/10 because:

does the words "Case Mod Gallery" mean sumthin 2 u case i cant see a custom mod that you performed on your machine.....just a bunch of fancy hardware. untill you do some modding 3/10 will be my vote for now
