Personally, I don't like the look (too messy in my opinion), but the case REEKS of pure unfiltered effort, so you get 7/10 from me .

I am not too terribly impressed. It needs some polishing work, so I get it a 4/10.

If it gets the work done, "form follows function" is the best phrase for this computer..

Is it just me or is it that the photos you took weren't showing the guts of the computer off?

Next time, take more photos of the inside, and not the outside, I pass this rating as I do not know if there is crappy cable management.

What motherboard?

Wow man most of you guys are smoking crack, I have seen some bad ass rigs get mediocre scores with 6 or 7 yet UGLY ass rigs like this can get a 6-7 from some dumb F. lol It seems that the rigs will all the good parts get marked down from the jealous people and the crap rigs get decent scores, this case gets a 2 from me very poor sorry but that’s the truth.

How about you offer some constructive criticism. I can understand you not liking it, but you do not explain why and just resort to obscene, vague, comments and insults. If you do not have anything useful to say, just give the computer whatever score you believe it deserves and keep your comments to yourself.

could you post some better pictures by chance? like the front panel, side veiw with case side on and off etc? most of the pictures are so close up they can barly be seen.

Thats a bit harsh, let me take it from here; I know what you mean.

To win back some scores, fufill the following criteria

-Full view of interior, without panels and lighting, however not being so bright that nothing can be seen.
-Proper Lighting; use an external source of lighting with the bling off and show us how good you are at cable management
-Full view from rear, 45*, from front 45* (Can be similar)

I don't know why his camera covered all the cable management... If you show us a picture depicting the cable management and the full view of the whole system(looks pretty bad from what I can tell), Then I shall rate it.

Do some photography lessons because the photos that you took aren't in good angles that depict the good and the bad.

Turn off all the bling and use an external source of lighting to take the photos... the cold cathode tube hides almost everything from view.

Yes your external pictures were good but many people want to know how it looks inside.

Sorry but its true, I didn’t mean to be harsh I just don’t understand why some BAD ASS rigs with very good hardware and good cable management get 6 to 7 yet this plain old case can get a 6 or 7. You guys would make perfect Olympic ice skating judges, the person with the most talent almost never win’s lol.

Dude it is because the hardware means only one thing, you have money. Cable management and paint is very cheap compared to a new video card. If I had super cheap computer I would make it look as best as possible. Quit giving people shit because they don't have a $2000 budget for computer stuff. Its all whether you like the look or not. rule of thumb: if you would use it, it rates at least a 5.

Ya ok there budy you clearly didnt read what I said because I clearly said "cases with very good hardware and good cable management get 6 to 7"
I know very good hard ware doesnt mean anything seeing as this is a CASE MOD GALLERY not a hard ware gallery but thats not why I said what I said. There is nothing unique about this case its very plain with pore lighting and cable management YET some people gave it a 6-7.
So wtf are you talking about Kenny, You completely misunderstood what I’m saying I never knocked this case for pore hard ware Im basically knocking the people that gave it a 6 or a 7, I have seen way nicer cases get 5 and 6 yet people gave this a 6 to 7 lol RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Riiight enough with the arguing, I'll be putting the next person who posts non-constructive criticizm in this thread on a 5 day vacation.

 

[regan1985]

"a 5 day vacation"

love it sounds like sumit id say if i had the power!!

on the case i like the colour but if it was me id try mayeb a stealth drive idea???? make it look a bit more tidy and some lighting inside the case and as always try and hide those cables!!

good start 5/10

 

[zekrahminator]

You misunderstand Regan1985, by "vacation", I mean "vacation from TPU" . Just trying to keep things clean. Anyways, stealth drives would be a great idea, and the triple monitor thing is great . But before we start critiquing on the inside components, we could use some picture of the inside .

 

[Taz100420]

That shut em up lol


but what I like about this case is the creativity. Not many ppl take the time to redo their case as like this above.

I give an 8/10

I love bondo.....lol
