Dude those are some nice cases. I really like the current rig with the drive cages turned sideways. You should post a project log.

Here is my current gaming rig.
Athlon X2 5200+ black edition 3.2ghz stable
4gb corsair XMS2
EVGA 8800GTS 512mb
Plextor Blu-ray combo drive
Samsung DVD combo drive
Thermaltake 750w Evo_blue PSU
Cooler Master Storm Sniper Mesh Edition case
A shot of the top of the case. The CPU cooler is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus I am in the process of reviewing.
Here is a better shot where you can see the bottom. The PSU is a 750w Thermaltake Evo Blue. The fan has RGB leds and can cycle through: blue, green, red, multi color with patterns, multicolor and single color flashing. Its modular and you can expect a review on it soon.
A shot with the door off and it lit up.
Shot with it lit up shining through the mesh window.
I will try to get a few more pics later this week.
Very clean, nice job.
Thanks
nice work on cable management Oneslowz28, but where's the water??
The water will be there soon, dont worry.
I figured I'd post the pics of my current setup to show why I'm planning the project in my sig...so here it is, in all it's dusty, red glory:
Did you notice the single piece of tape that holds the thing together?:rolleyes:
Below: What you'd see if you looked inside. The extra SATA data/power cable will be out of sight when my second Caviar Black gets here.
Below: With the flash you can see the actual hideousness that is usually concealed by darkness.
And lastly, here is the empty shell of a dell that is so full of proprietary parts any mod would be pretty extreme. I actually wanted to mod it instead of buying a new case (3-4 years ago)...until I realized what I was getting myself into.
Is that red one an old Vento? Love the XPS :D.
I don't remember wth the red one is...it's made by Raidmax but I couldn't track down the product name as it's long been discontinued. I actually dislike it because it's plastic is about the size of a mid-tower, then the aluminum case inside is much smaller...My knuckles get cut up just thinking about working in it. :hurt:
Left: is a computer i just gave a slight face lift for my dad, Was my sisters old rig (Pendium D 2.8ghz, 1gb ddr2 533, Radeon 9600 256, and a 60gb hdd) The ODD and FDD were an ugly beige that just stood out horribly against the case's blue and black theme so i used some of the paint i had left over from Project Blue Sift to paint them so they would blend in better.
Center: This is my girlfriends rig, wich is my previous gaming rig. (AMD Athlon x2 3800 939, 3 gb DDR 400, Radeon 3870 512mb, and a 250gb hdd.) It is still a work in progress. Tonight I'm gonna swap out the aftermarket cooler i have on it for the stock cooler form my Phenom II x4 940. The aftermarket that is on it isn't doing very good and I'm thinking the 940's stock cooler will be able to handle it better. As far as the mods go so far i have just pained the front and the dvd drive and swaped out the case's leds & fans for red ones. Next is to put in a side window and paint the interior of the case.
Right: Project: Blue Shift My current rig and work in progress, (AMD Phenom II 940 3.4ghz, 8gb ddr2 800, Radeon 4890 1gb, and 3 hdd totaling 4tb of storage) The project is almost finished i just have to come up with a design for the decals I'm gona have made for it.
