Performed Mods:
Drilled two side and one rear 80mm blowhole. Cut 3.5" drive cage down. Ghosted DVD & DVD-RW drives. Changed HDD LED to blue. Drilled 2" hole to route PSU wires and other wires behind the motherboard tray. Removed front USB panel for sake of less wires. Constantly keeping all the wires as clean as possible.
It's fast, it's beautiful, and I love it. Hardware wise she'll be staying this way atleast until Windows Vista comes out. with myself having to pay for part of my car and everything else associated with it.

I like the fact that you have an Opteron in there. Interesting...
Your case wiring is really neat and clean. Good job at hiding all those freaking wires lol
i haven't seen many systems that run on the opteron processor, i always thought that it was designed for use in servers. but oh well. your system looks really well put together your skills of hiding those pesky power wires shows itself really well in your case. how well does it game with that processor? other than my questions, you have done a really good job. Well Done
-the stone
every time i look at this system, i feel like clapping. the way that things have been put together and all just makes me so glad that some people have a sense of aesthetics. how much did you drop on the internals( the hd's,video card, motherboard, etc)
just beautiful
I need to update this though, I've been running 1.45v and 2.5 cas latency for awhile. Load temps on the CPU don't exceed 38ºC now and it idles between 21º and 23º.
also...
the C2D is based on the xeon core...
server/workstation cpu's ftw!!!
