8/10 From me. Near perfect really other then lack of anything eye catching. Wiring is also visiable.

Yeah, sometimes as Im trying to find creative places to put wires, I think "So the fk what? It's a damn computer, it has wires inside it... why are they such a bad thing?"

But then I see a wire hanging over my sexy new video card and get all pissed off and spend a few more hours relocating wires. :-)

8/10, looks very nice apart from a little wiring... the lights would so annoy me while watching movies tho, hehe.
