Gave my tired old case and system a face lift a while ago (8 months ago) haven't cleaned it for 4 months. It is still kicking ass as my main gaming system. :rockout:

I had to get new power and reset switch's This is the 3rd set! As you see I modded this set as well.

Let's stay on topic here please.
 
Cleaned up some more. Still have to sand and repaint the entire case but I am just doing little things one at a time slowly. Here is what I have so far.
The power HDD Lights do work and are now located next to the power/reset witch.
Fresh pain on them. :D

That HDD score is BS, Platter HDDs will not go over 5.9

A single one may not, but he has them in RAID 0. Before I bought my SSD and was using 3x 250gb WD RE2 in RAID0 179mb read, 170 write and I'm pretty sure I had a 7.9 in there as well. But really those scores are bs anyway.. That is based on the performance when Windows 7 first came out. I doubt they update the scores.. So, based on that I believe a RAID 0 setup would have scored high then, but not now with 500+ read/write SSD's. So, I wouldn't even count that score. :toast:

I have a raid zero setup with three 64mb cache 7,200 RPM drives on a spare PC here and still get 5.9

Also the score can be cheated easily

raid0 never gets higher than 5.9 full stop if your only using standard desktop HDD's the only way to get higher is to use faster HDD's 10~15Krpm and that may get you a 6.2~4 or SSD's for up into the 7's

my two Samsung F1 500GB HDD's in raid0 only gets a 5.9


but hey I can get this

LOL! No one believes me? LOL! I am able to manipulate the score I know how. I can not however figure out how to go past 7.9! LOL! I so got sick of seeing that fucking 5.9 shit!
 
I feel ya pain trickson I think it sucks that raid0 HDD's doesn't get over 5.9 I mean come on atleast give us a 6.4~5 god dammit
 
Some pic's of how things are looking so far.

I don't know really, It just happens. I am still working on it. I like it. :D

Because WEI scores are terribly important? :p
 
Any way all fun aside. I got part of the case done not going to mess with it as it looks great IMHO. That would be top and front. Not the Power button I still have work to do on that. :toast:

Good job! I like function over Cosmetic, but I believe you've nailed it on both parts with what you have available. :toast:
