that used to be a killa combo 2+ yrs ago man. I remember when the xp3200 cpus were around $400 and that motherboard was a fortune too. I bought an NF7-s instead of the A7N8X at the time and it cost me a fortune...

Good work on the old parts... I bet it can still run the good ol games no probs.... and it is still probably as fast as one of those $600 harvey norman systems they sell.

I voted 7 because while it is old hardware cable management is good and the PC does its job I don't really look into the power of components with the case in a case mod thread

You know what? Sometimes the simplest builds are the best, the cable managment is really simple and clean - perfect for a basic PC like this, and still some good hardware on it. 6/10.

4/10.

I give a good rig a 5/10 for not so good cable management, no mods, ect..

I'm not saying I don't like the case! Great simple case; deserves a pretty simple score.
