Key features
The build
This summer I hope to upgrade the monitor to a 20-22" LCD. Also runs very cool, havent known the CPU to go over 40DegC and its slightly overvolted too. The graphics card however is quite the oposite but its a highend X1950 series card and hot overclocked or not.

Performed mods
Cable manage ment where possible, painted the case was blue if you have seen my previous post before I upgraded (http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/448), drives also got painted as they were an awful beige everyone hates beige lol.
Blue lighting at the moment, but I'm thinking of going with red.
Unfortunatly cable management is as good as I can get it at the moment...
The position of the CPU on this motherboard is where RAM would normally be, making the very big Akasa EVO33 cooler close to the hard drives, and the case doesnt have much room at the front of the case despite its size.

I put another amber fan in a push pull config that spins when it gets above 30, and its very good to me.
But i dont know if its any better than the 120....
However I am thinking of modding the side pannels with a mesh effect... Any suggestions would be great.
Also re routed some of the wiring [no pics yet], but I dont want to put too much force and tension on the wires and connectors.
