Performed mods
Well I found this case at the dump.
I replaced the Plexi glass it looked like shit originally.
Lighting, Cable managment, wrapped the cables in blue tape =P.
Wired the cathodes to not use a switch (cleans up the wires)
Made all of the stickers, they are just cardboard cut outs.
Replaced the plastic things that hold the Plexi holders with nice lookin screws.

Your spec is cool so as the looks of your case. I think it's great.
One point that I think it brings the whole thing down is the Blue Orb.
It's not going to cool your CPU that well and they copy ZALMAN.
In Conclusion, I think it' great, the case is big and look tough.
Love the logos tooo, different.
I voted 10/10 because:
You did a really nice job with the wire hiding. I also love the overall "blueness".

Very nice overall. Like the matching of the blue case w/ the blue Led's. The pic Doesn't do the rig justice. This rig is amazing in person.
really nice rig, I would paint the interior to make it look better, and get rid of those stickers, way to much of them..
where is the fan controller, and what is up with that pny sticker, is it covering the vents??
