Thanks I bought it because I feel it leaves me with a high potential for upgrades.

A window would be kinda cool but I don't really want one, the case I had this computer in before this case had a window and lights and it ended up annoying me. I use the computer for watching a lot of media and the lights and window are distracting. Even without lights the motherboard has two very bright embedded LEDs on it that can be really annoying at night and for now the computer is in my bedroom and the lights bother me when i am asleep.

Turn your HDD's backwards if your leads are long enough, it makes routing them easier, i've always done that if the leads are long enough.

Looks much cleaner

I would but the the in the front of the HD rack I am using gets in the way. And the orignal racks built in the case (I took them out) didnt have enough room behind them. It doesnt really matter unless i get a window in the case anyways.

The six LED fans in my 1200 drive me nuts. I throw a blanket over my case at night and shut off the LEDs in the top fan, then leave about 1/3 of that top fan uncovered so the monolith doesn't overheat.

EDIT: Hey, found another shot of Dodecapede. Here's cable management for ya:

I've got switches in some unused PCI slots on the i/o panel that turn off my CCFLs, and I can turn off my temp gauge, so that just leaves the blue power LED :up:

That is cool and all but I keep my computer against a wall so the PCI slots are out for switches, and I would put them in the front panel or top but I haven't yet found a case fan that allows you to turn off the LEDs but let the fan still function. If I found fans like that I would likely replace the fans in the desktop with lighted ones.

DF my PC ran like that for 16 months lol.

yeah i know lol
that was it in september,,, ill load up some new pics tonight

^^ and i thought my pc was loud!

You should hear mine lol, It's not too bad. ATM (due to the 41c weather outside) I am running it with the side off and my Antec Tri-Cool 80mm on max and the same with my 2 120mm Tri-Cools and my Thermaltake Smart-Fan is running full bore at 12v, now that is loud lol. I just wanna download the Dawn of War 2 BETA from STEAM haha.

that is about only half the fans....
