green & blue is not bad, though i'd prefer green and orange. And i would've left black on the outside and painted it black on the inside. Nevertheless, i nice looking case, congrats!

Maybe you could buy or borrow a real camera & post this a 3rd time. It looks like you spent some time working on the mod, only to show camera phone pics,, I just don't understand that concept. Think of it like this,, were not there to see what the case looks like,, Clear, sharp pictures, makes us feel like were there looking at the case.

Also if you are going to take pictures of the inside of the case. Don't do it through the window. Take the side panel off so you don't get a reflection off the plexiglass

I really like it. I controls 4 fans and has 4 temp probes that are pretty accurate, i beleive it uses 3 pin (or 4 pin?), i cant remember exactly. And there is 1 molex to power the meter.

There are reviews on the web you can read to learn more, just google it.

I like the paint job a lot.

What would look really cool is if you replaced your CCFLs and Fans with red ones. It would match the theme and pull everything together.

Also, the next time you take it apart you should paint the interior either gold or red to match the outside, that would look awesome.

It can control up to 4 fans. Uses 3 pin. Using a molex to 3 pin wont work on it. Also, each 3 pin should not exceed 1 ampere else the thing will break (ive seen some hooking up a 1.5amp delta on them, killed the kama meter.). Its pretty usefull for zalman HSF ^^
