To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Coolermaster Cavalier-1
Intel E6420 @ 3.2GHz
HSF Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.A
XFX 7600GT + Arctic Cooling S2 @ [650/820]
Abit IP35-e
2GB G.skill DDR2-800 + 2GB Ballistix Tracers DDR2-800
Corsair HX520
WD 500AAKS SE16 500GB SATA
LG 18X DVD-RW SATA Drive

Mods:
Added Kama Bay Intake, Swapped out the 80mm front intake fan for a 120mm, Painted interior semi-flat black & front bezel (incl. drives) gunmetal, suspended hard drive after removing the hdd cage. And of course some cable management.

I aimed for a cool and quiet performer, and at 3.2GHz, this thing runs at around 35 idle/55~ load. It's barely audible. The last update I'll perform to this rig is a move to something like an 8800GT(S) and then replace some of the dying case fans with some newer ones like some 500/800RPM Slipstreams.

Nice, you on SPCP? That looks exactly like what SPCP users would build.

If you mean SPCR. Then yes, I frequent there a lot, rarely post, I don't even remember if I have an account on their forums.

I got most of my ideas for junk to do from there.

Yeah my bad, I'd really recommend you install a scythe slipstream rear outake... without that airflow, your Accelero...

I bought a Few Slip Streams (2x 1200RPM and 1x 800RPM), also swapped in an 8800GT with an Accelero S1 (800RPM fan attached to the S1)

I'll eventually post new pics I guess, but all in all, it looks basically the same.
