Key features
The build
To clear some things up, I dont intend on ever painting this case, and I didnt enjoy the way cold cathodes look in it (the extra cables/mess wasnt worth the added visuals). If anyone can comment on additional (keep it inexpensive) mods I can do, or how to improve cable management futher I would much appreciate it.

there is potential for better lighting the inside of the case... to get a better effect.
you could also use sound mats under the m/b to get an all black view of the inside and better sound reduction...
nice work total 7/10 !

cable management could be *slightly* better, but it could also be much, much worse.
7/10
The mobo tray sits almost flush with the section of side panel, so if I were to stick cables through they wouldnt fit very well on their way up towards the PSU end. I originally tried it this way, but the tight fit between the case door and the mobo tray/PSU rail area was causing the cables to get frayed :ohwell:
DON'T LIE dude why did you write X530- 140 watt you have only 70
dude don't lie
7/10
@ gamerxpro, they're 70 watts rms and 140 watts peak so technically its an acceptable number...
Admittedly though, peak power is a poor way to measure speaker output.
Its 10 Watts RMS thru each speaker, and a 20 watt sub.
Just stating what the speakers are advertised as though...
Thanks for the comments/votes guys.
i rate it 7/10 i have always rather liked that case design (dunno why)
still 8/10
