To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Asus A8N-SLI
Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200
1gb Corsair DDR-400 (512x2, Copper Heat Spreaders)
1 PATA 80gb Maxtor 7200rpm
1 PATA 300gb Maxtor 7200rpm
LG Lightscribe DVD-Burner
AeroCool Gatewatch
OkGear Firework "Persistence of Vision" Fan
NeoHE 550W PSU

Mods:
Custom Powder coating
Cable Sleeving
Some Chroming and Polishing

Here is a machine I threw together for a customer.
As always, I did the powder coating with white inside, and silver vein (Morton) Outside.. Inverted the fan grills, clipped one center for the firework fan.

Also chromed and polished the extra port covers for some classy shine.

Dual red CCFL tubes give it a mean looking glow to match the AeroCool display.

Yes, the drive is supposed to be white, its the connecting piece that brings the inside, outside. It was a gamble, I think I won.. no? Classy.. not overstated, not a sleeping pill.. It gets noticed.

But still, much more could have been done with this project.. but he had limited funds. Oh well, maybe he'll save up more and I can remod it :)

And Yes, I did replace those blue Lian-Li leds with red before delivery. :) (PS: Sorry about the reflection from my LCD's, I didn't even notice that till now :p)

I know you wanted to tie the inside to the outside with the white optical drive, but it doesn't quite work for me. That's really the only thing I don't like about it. I love that case. I used one in a build I did.

Great work on a very slick looking rig.
