The build

I tried to route the wires the best I could, and it looks a lot better now than it has before especially since I got the modular PSU. Still, there's so much stuffed in this little case it makes it hard to hide everything. You don't want to see behind the other side panel. I don't know how you guys with SFF cases do it. My next case is gonna be of my own design and made out of wood and will be much larger. Not some fiberboard box but real wood and it will look nice. I've had this thing for almost 4 years now and it's about time for a major upgrade. It's been ongoing of course like many others here, the CPU, GPU, memory and HDD have been installed since I built the original system. The CPU idles at 30c load is 44c. GPU idles at 45C and load is 64c. There's no fan controller so it's loud, though not as loud as I would expect with so many fans. It's tolerable. I just turn up the volume a little more for games.

Performed mods

I painted the inside of the case. It didn't turn out near as good as I hoped because I used glossy paint to try and match the outside, but still it looks like crap. Oh well, live and learn. I'd like to run over the case with my truck anyway.
I added filters for the intake fans.

Actually it's a Raidmax Scorpio case. They still sell em at Newegg. I know, cheap cases suck and if I would have known more at the time I would have bought a better one but I was on a budget and was more worried about performance. The stock 420w PSU actually powered all this for a couple of years and is still working in a PC I built for a friend.
