I hid them behind the hard drive bay in a big bundled mess. once i get my hr-05sli and hiper 580w psu i will retake all pictures and post with the extra shineyness that those parts will provide. As far as the name goes check out what my rig used to look like and you will understand.

what you guys see by the way is nothing compared to the wires right this second. i will be prhotographing this before i tear her apart. basically all the wires you do see either vanish or are tucked away best as possible.

i received my hr-05sli and hiper 580w psu yesturday. the chipset cooler dropped idle temps from 50 to 36 and load from 54 to 40. i still have lots of wiremanagement to do but pics should be up either today or tomorrow.

to those with the hr-05 sli do you know of any way to fix the looseness in the heatsink?

because i love your case, i wanted one but decided to try out the 900, very easy to manage cable in those cases, plus good airflow, great work on everything, and thank you for your comments on my 900.

Now that it is getting nicer out i can finally paint the interior. Im going to do flat black on the inside and high gloss black outside. After that I may get a dual 4" blue ccfl as the top of my case is lacking in lighting. Not bad for a $30 case eh?

I gave you a total of 5 because your only mod is your wire management. I gave you a 1 for that. Big whoop so you moved some wires around. Thats not moding. I can't even tell if you really cut anything so Im going to say you didn't. It just looks likes to me you removed the right panel. Moved some wires around then put the panel back. The rest of my vote is for your hardware/case. I gave you a 2 for the hardware, and another 2 for the case. I have gotten no ideas from your you rig. Its just to basic for inspiration. Really its one of the higher of the lower end PCs I have seen here. Good job on the bling though.

I agree with Pings its worthless in my opinion. Moving some wires around is not modding. This has nothing do with k-fed. I love your PC pings 10/10. Sorry for that I just had to post after reading you comment on Pings's page.

Nicely done, though that HDD placement is questionable; Installing it normally would do a lot better.

The Hdd placement was to get them out of the way, and to effectively make them disappear. Temps rose 2c over what they used to be so I left them alone. Gave more room for my x1800.

To pings and BluesGuitar1940 The mods are as follows, removal of all stamped grills, dremeled holes in cdrom cage, mobo tray, and backplane. Addition of Led strips for the backplane. And as of now paint. Let me find the pics from when I did some of the cutting to better show what I did.
