No offense dude, but if your case won first, I wonder what other cases were in competition...

Furthermore, I'd like to see more pics of the inside, maybe I change my mind, thus I do not vote yet.

That's a bit harsh.

Whatatrip, first off... nice overclock! Second, it looks like a really nice setup, but your presentation is killing you. I'm trying to look a bit deeper, but these pics are making it very tough.

Take some time to detail it and then dedicate an afternoon to doing a good photo shoot. Quality pictures make a huge difference.

I know it sounds harsh, and I am well aware that my case mod is even worse. But it wasnt meant to be rude. And like I said, I am willing to change my mind if he shows some moreaspects of the case. So pease don't feel offended. If you do, I apologize.
