To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:

Asus P5Q P45
Corsair Dominator 1066 2 x 1gb

Mods:
took out the front intake fan grill; put sort of a small hole on the casing's motherboard tray to somehow hide the 6-pin PCIE power cable; did basic cable management; added two 12" CCFLs for interior lighting; put an 80-mm Zalman fan below the video card to expel warm air immediately.

thanks for the vote, man. :)


@ IINexusII,
i know where you're getting at, lol ^_^. the angle of the shots are those that one can basically see when they're seated in front of the computer screen itself and using it, like friends or visitors or whatnot.

of course, there are cables hidden somewhere where one could hardly see them, and that's the main reason we call it "cable management": we hide the cables. ^_^ in my opinion, it's a skill that we all have as pc modders. now, if you hid your cables only to show them later on, then what's the point in hiding them in the first place?

but trust me, i know what you're thinkin of. peace! ^_^

thanks, dr.rooke84. ^_^ i believe it when you say Samsung's better. i've tried Hanns-G and LG, and only when i got my hands on my 2233SW was the time i could really say it's better. ^_^
