To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Mobo: Asus P5N32-E SLI (NVIDIA 680i Chipset)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo e4300 OC'd to 3.3GHz from 1.8GHz
RAM: 2x1GB DDR2-800 Mushkin eXtreme @ DDR2-1066 w/ 4-4-4-12 Timings
GPU: EVGA 8800GTX (OC'd to match the "Superclocked" version @ 621/1000)
HDD: 2x80GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10's in RAID0 & 4x320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10's in RAID5
Optical: ASUS DRW-1814BL
Case/Power: Cooler Master Stacker 832 Case, Muskin 650w "Rail Fusion" Quad 12v Rail Power Supply

Mods:
I have 6x120mm Apevia and 1x120mm Cooler Master LED fans, Vantec Nexus fan controller, lots of zip ties on the wires but nothing too modish, I did add some cable sleeving to the fan bracket fans, you can see it in some of the new pics. Case is fairly quiet, but when the fans are all up this thing gets LOUD... Also just add the little ASUS optional chipset blower fan as well, so that adds to the noise a little, but does help my northbridge I think. Lastly just added a second hard drive cage up top for my RAID0 (hence the drive second bay fan now pictured) and moved my DVD, fan controller, and floppy to the middle.

OC'd from 1.8GHz to 3.3GHz! Had to up the voltage from 1.325v stock to exactly 1.53125v for stability (drops to ~1.49v under full load). Thats an 83% boost in performance. It can get a little warm at ~65-70c according to ASUS Probe. RAM was bumped from 2.1v to 2.35v to get it to 1066 w/ 4-4-4-12 timings, and I also bumped up my 8800GTX to the same speeds as the EVGA "Superclocked" version @ 621/1000. Got a score of 12192 on 3DMark06. Also take a look at my HDTach score for my RAID5, apparently my RAID5 beats out SCSI320 at burst reads... Sweet.

Quite Neat ... Very Kick Ass Specs ... and that overclock is pretty impressive ... the blue with a hint of green looks pretty sweet.

Although there is a bit more cable management potential ... but thats upto you I guess.

Thanks! Yea I agree the cables could use some work, tho, the cables on this Mushkin PSU are so incredibly stiff making them very hard to work with. But the advantage with the CM Stacker is, you can't see inside really even with a mesh side panel.

I have a Stacker 830 Evo myself, and cable management is surprisingly difficult for such a large case. Anyway, I gave you a 7/10. Pretty nice rig.

Nice man, the only thing I can think of is cutting those ugly tags off your ide/floppy cables.... you don't need a lable saying floppy, in amongst all that nice hardware!!! You know what I mean.......
