"Timestamp / Normal pictures / Name tag or Im calling BS on this one"? Sorry I'm new to this, are my photos to... fake? Help me out guys, what are you looking for? youtube.com/watch?v=eaGy3h_sSnQ is a video of it half way through build in my office, dark I know. I have some crappy build photos on my blog if thats more real for ya?

Thanks everyone else.

@crtecha muderbox gave me the idea for the enigma logo, now there is a great canadian mod ;).

aahh.. ok, so how do you suppose I can verify that? My camera doesn't have "timestamp" because it's not a point n shoot. I have normal photos all over the first post of my blog before I finished my makeshift studio for the final shots. Otherwise not sure how I can prove to you that this really is my machine besides what I've already provided. I guess you can request a completely random shot that I can take tonight and post.

Best verification would be like the ones required in the sales thread. Hold a paper containing your nickname and "TPU" next to your comp and take a "not so professional" shot. Like in the Casemod "Dragon".

Not very fond of uploading a less than nice looking photo but here it is. If I have to do this with all of my mods I think I'll just stick with the other forums.

@batmang THAT IS NUTS! I have been to that site so many times to check out murderbox and Lian Li PC-A01 and have never noticed that before. I liked the clean look of a black and white scheme and got my front panel idea from murderbox.

I think you proved the non-believers wrong :D There where quite some fakes, so people are sceptical about such nice builds and very nice pictures. But you're awesome dude.

Very nice and clean case, I like the white. Maybe throw a window only showing the motherboard on the side panel!

@steelkane I totally agree with you. I was looking at that case for a mod but I just need bigger.

@MRCL I hope so, and thanks for the support. I appreciate the critisism (mod so good it's not mine! heh) but I'd rather it be more against the case. This is just the first of many for me.

@t77snapshot Thanks, I don't want to do a window on this mod because they are so common these days, and really, no one who comes over to see it cares what it looks like, its more for myself. I think a window would take away from the sleek, clean design. Also there are 5 of those fans in there but you can see them lol. I modded the PSU because it had a blue led fan in it, and put in a GELID 120mm white as well to match everything. Sadly never got photos of it.

Love the subtle case mod. The water cooling is average, but you went through the trouble of doing nice photography. 7/10

Appreciate the comments. My north and south bridges run nice and cool already so nothing special needed there, and I'm not spending the money to water cool my 8800's since they are getting replaced. The 4870 will be part of the loop, but yeah, just run of the mill cooling.

Thanks everyone, and no worries about the 4, they get their opinion and obviously not everyone is going to like the case. It is simple but that was the goal. :)

@kaosII the rad is behind the lower compartment 120mm fan in front of the PSU, so not very big but since I haven't started cooling the video card yet this does fine for the q6600.
