This case needs cable management!!! Spend a few hours with some cable ties and clean that mess up. You will achieve better airflow through the case and you will be able to see your components better. The only cost is time.....

I was thinking of going with the Quad processor instaed of the dual core the board can go up to 8gigs of DDR3 memory.

Does you motherboard take a Quad CPU? (I ask because you havent told use the model number) Also. 6GB would be a total waste of money, no matter if you went Quad or not ;)

Yeah these guys are right you need to clean up your wires and make it look nice cause i cant even see the memory cards. And you should write out full details on what is inside your machine and tune down a bit on the memory. It seems like a power house already.

Hey iam here to show my Mod as much as everyone else is but some people take it to the next level with scores and post so it really dosent bother me cause its my first mod. And Modding is not about how much you spend on it but the work you put into it.

What work? Your wires are a mess, and it looks like you just slamed it together.

Just saying.

Do you have any other pics?

LMAO yeah slammed is so funny but hey its the first pic so dont worry thier will be more pics soon.

So, this isn't a finished mod? Maybe you should post it in the Project Logs section of the forum. The Case Gallery is sort of a showcase of completed mods. Hence the rating system. Just a suggestion...

I gave you a 4/10 mate - Fair.

Its gonna be very hard for you to clean up your wiring with the 24pin connector all the way down the bottom of your board. that is a strange spot. It would be good if you ownd a case that has the psu sitin in the bottom. Try running some of your wiring behind the mb. You can't see it as easily then. Aslo writing on the hdd cage is a little tacky. Write on the other side where you cannot see it.
