I dont see any reason to upgrade psu for 530 its take power for nothing, for this build enought and 350w.
Normal pictures i mean different angles and all make in day time with normal daylight :)

IMO , many of the people that "mod" they're cases are doing so on budgets of multiple thousands of dollars, and become accustomed to a certain "level", or "expense" of the hobby, and when they're idea of a "mod" budget isn't met, they dont feel it is "in the same league" just my opinion, not fact.

keep in mind, some people have access to more modding items than others. for instance, a buddy of mine, once took a Antec Lanboy, and modded that thing, many would say, "what could you do"? He is a Autobody/automotive painter, and he went to town on that thing. He popped EVERY rivet on the case, and either sanded, painted, or changed in SOME way EVERY single part of that case, IMO that is beyond what MANY people who "mod" cases can, or ever will do, but is it better?? i thought it looked like shit :) sometimes, as @sneekypeet said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. dont listen to others, if you enjoyed yourself, F- 'em. weather it was "modded" i cant say, but that rating system is mostly modders IMO, i dont think many TPU visitors/members even know its there.

why did u change the title to "old games"??

Hang in there, @TiaanMarco48 ! I think your case is all-right, I compared the pic without lighting (the one with the green MB) with the others, and I really like the effects you managed to create with just a few sources of light. It looks like a completely different system! I like it and more importantly - you like it and are proud to show it to us here. It may not be the newest hardware or the freakiest build out there, but is is a mod (at least a little bit) and that is reason enough to post it here. So for people who haven't yet, but are always ready to be critical:

And about modding here is web site to post modding case :-/

Waiting to see your mod here, someday. Ready to give my vote! :D
For your build, @TiaanMarco48 ,not cr@p at all, IMO - good job there. :toast: Like you said:

That's what you did. Looks beautiful to me, keep going! :rockout:
