The build
I finally got this thing built. Built it with the money i won (3000g's y0, but didnt spend all of that on this) playing GTR2 at the
Midnight gaming championships. going to school next semester to start my computer engineering degree, so this was a fun build for me.
also havnt OCed it yet still burning in the cpu. although it runs great as is. fruityloops dosent use up 80% processor when playing a song. temps: cpu ~16c idle 33c solid at the end of a 8 hour torture test. Gpu 43c idle, ~52c load, no problems out of the psu

Performed mods
replaced all the stock fans with led fans, custom cable binding, 2 12 inch red cold cathodes. on the fan thats in the upper right hand corner, i had to drill out the mounting bracket to make the holes big enough for the screws. this isnt much and i plan on doing more in the future. ( i have ideas, but i dont know how to apply most of them)

Its clean and I love LL cases. One idea which may hide a lot of those cables around the HDD would be to make a black panel that fits over the whole lot from the psu to the back of the case (so it covers the Hdd's and all the unsleeved wiring).
Appart from that... Nice one

check out my rig in my sig for some decent wire management
love the rig and really like the case. I have question, I am considering getting this same case BUT I have heard rumors that if your motherboard has a heat pipe cooler, it could effect its ability to DO ITS JOB as the board is upside down. Now, im not sure if these were from people just speculating and what not, but seeing as you actually own this case and have a heat pipe chip cooler, could you please let me know your board temps and chips? Are they sufficient for your liking? How are your case temps? And again, Love the setup
