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 may change to red. Re-worked the cable management since my last post... The position of the CPU on this motherboard is where RAM would normally be, the very big Akasa EVO33 cooler causing it to be a little cramped in that area.

Hard drives have been mounted using the NoiseBlocker NB-X swing in the CD drive bays; these drives were very noisey, now wisper quiet, but hotter. It also frees space and cables around the cpu cooler.

Same as previous post, just a new monitor, speakers, hard drive mount, and processor, with some tidying.

Just standard spray paint from an Autospares shop, think it maybe polycarbonate or something.

However Im not sure if you can see or have seen the colour of the Hiper PSU, but In the summer after my exams im thinking of painting it with a similar colour gloss. With red lighting and maybe some red art work.

Thanks for the vote!
