You may freely laugh to the hardware. But comment the case not the hardware, because I know that the hardware is out of date and sucks.

Thanks for the vote and comment. I posted some new pics and hope that those show clearer my mods, because I don't have beforepictures. The cutting (with the fan holes) weren't so tidy but they don't show and i will fix those when i paint the skeleton of the case..

Thanks. I used just the glossiest black spraypaint what I could get from the nearest hardware store. But I think the outcome could be better..

You get a 8 from me - just for not caring about your rigs specs, I mean come on, if it does what you need then why spend £500 on a bleeding edge processor?

You have worked really well with what you have, and thats what impresses me. Nice job mate.

Thanks mate! Yeah that's true. And actually almost every component in this is bought secondhand or found from a recycling center..
