how about some better picture to show what you've done like the whole inside or the back rad, and a good front view, other then that it does look nice, It's ok by me for your friends to give you a 10, but I would like to be honest about the rating I give.

Here are some pictures of the inside:

This one shows the 120mm hole I made for a fan on the bottom, plus, the holes on the hdd cage where the pump sits



Another one showing the holes on the bottom and hdd cage:



Here's one of the back of the mobo tray where you can see the motherboard holes I cut for cable management purposes.



Here's one that shows how I mounted the rad :)



Sorry if some of the pictures don't have the same quality as the ones on the display.

Sorry about the zip ties, but you can't fit two herbie clips on the res since the barbs we're too wide. same thing with the cpu block. so i don't really have any other choice than to use zip ties. I don't get what you said about the fan grills. care to explain further? thanks :)

The issues I was talking about are, your case sits low to the ground, making your bottom fan run harder, also the missing motherboard screws. I'm just picky like that. I still like the look of your colors.
