hope you like it! :)

comments and suggestions to changes are MOST welcome:)

Yeah! Nice one!!
I like it. You only have to find a place to mount the radiator... Why didn't you place it at the side where the hoses come out? I don't see any DVD/CD Drive?

My same thoughts, the radiator looks like you forgot about it till the last minute.
Other then that and the cd/dvd drive it looks really nice

[SgtM]

Nice mod man! I have the same question about the radiator.

but it took to much space backthere, and im (also) working on putting my 2 dual 120 rads together:).. have cut out some plexi, just need to get my act together and make the thing:D but dont think it will be before i clock my cpu a bit

and no, there aint any dvd drive internally, as you can see on one of the last pics, im using it externally:) it was to big to fit lol
