Hi guys, I just thought I’d show you the pics of my PC! I started thinking about modding about a month ago, since then I hadn’t even had a look inside my pc, and I didn’t know what sizes system fans came in! :p
I was gonna post pics after I fixed my “hot cpu” problem but it turns out its running fine so here we go!

Busting out the dremel

First cut, thank god everything went smoothly! (Remember iv never done this before!)

All filed down and relatively smooth

Popped it back on the case to take a look at what I’d be able to see through it.

Got my first batch of parts and some Perspex

Everything from that batch installed (upped the ram to corsair 2gb ddr2 whilst at it)

About a week after doing this I decided the view inside was pretty much crap, so I took out the cage on the right hand side and made a Perspex HDD mount and hid it in a spare drive bay, runs lovely and cool and much much neater. Then I flipped the Perspex window sheet over so the fan was on the other side, this made the internals of the case a lot cooler as the airflow was better (before this the intake was throwing air in but then the exhuast would suck it right back out again leaving no chance for the rest of the case to cool)
