Edit: I finally got round to fixing the image sizes (sorry) :redface:

hey, after looking at all your cases I was thinking I should post mine,

I built this thing about 3-5 years ago (though I've upgraded it over the years)
I had pictures of it during the build... but I lost them so I hopw you enjoy what I've got

Here's a front view of my case, you can see the dark blue, (which was a creme colour, and the yellow was a yucky see thrue green. and as you can see I also installed handles (you can also seen my pc's been beet up a bit over the years...) (and sorry for the sideway's pic)

here you can see the window I cut out (I didn't plan this... I just started kutting, and ended up liking the shape...) you might also beable to see the blue fading to black.

here you can see one of the lights (yellow), and the bad hook up job for the fan.... it's solderd, but I didn't have electrical tape or heat shrink at the time..

here i acidently manged to take a picture of the red light flashing (I could't get the timing right to cach the light while the case side was on... when I wanted it to flash... and yes both light are flashing type... it was an accident at the purchase, but I ended up liking the flashing thing..)

(yay! I'm welcomed :D ) yeah I might organize the cables again.. but I'm gonna be working on a new prod. soon so I'm not gonna bother too much with this case (... cableing is gonna be a pain for this case.. 3 HDD's 2 CD drives, floppy, and the power cables are tape to diffrent parts of the case to suply power to the lights, and there's like 2 Y power splitters... (I never rele planned out this prod. and after years of upgrading, I kinda did what "fits" not nesasaraly in the best way..)

Thanks for the reply!! :D

What kind of monitor speakers are those? I would really like a good set of monitors, but cant affod the $500-800+ for a good pair.

the monitors are Yorkville's YSM2P's the cost round 500 for a pair (can) though I would advise going for the YSM1P's the will give you a bit more power and also cover the complete 20-20 frequency range.

I want speakers that cover the 20-44k range. That way I can give people headaches within a mile radius.

@ Omega:
You could take some amps and car speakers and turn on some loud music.
that might bother people (especially the older ones) within a mile radious.

@ Nick:
I like the speakers and background, but I really think you should straigthen out all your wires.
