This was my first major mod, I've done several minor ones before so I had an idea of what I was doing, but this one takes the cake. I spent well over 60hrs working on the case but it's worth it now that I'm finished, for the most part. There are still a few finishing touches that I have to make like switching that yellow/red SATA cable for the DVD drive. With the massive 480mm rad, even when my system in under load the CPU never breaks 22C and the GPU hasn't broken the 36C barrier, I have lots of room left to OC. I'm anxious to see what the future brings.
Enjoy
