Case: found in street
Sound Card: onboard audio

PSU: coolermaster igreen 500w
Software: windaes xp home sp2

Mods:
Gave case a soapy bath. Cut front panel - just keeping top part to cover dvd drive and card bay. Installed 2 illuminated push-lock switches and 2 push switches (where the usb slots used to be) for HD led, power led, reset and power on. Stuck metal mesh to gaping square hole. Installed front fan & guard and blowhole fan.

The pre-built P4 pc I had couldn't handle the x1950pro I got, so decided to upgrade my cpu and motherboard. Finding this case in my street was nicely timed. I didn't want any lights in my case - I need pitch black to sleep - the front led's can be switched off for night-time uploading.

I don't understand why you cut off the lower 2/3 of the front of the PC; can you explaine?

The front panel was in a bit of a state, and I wanted to mount my own lights/buttons, so cut the bad bit off. I had it with no front panel at first, but the dvd/sd drives wouldn't fully slot in to be flush with the case. So I got out ma hacksaw!

I've seen that case before. It sorta looks like a Mac tower. I think it sells for around $40ish on Newegg. Forget the company name.

Hmmmm.....

I'm not quite sure what to think aboOt this one. You say the front bezel was in bad shape? Bondo and some sandpaper do wonderful things... I think you shold have tried to save it. I mean, it's just a standard case with 2/3 of the bezel missing. Wire management looks well done though, I'll give you credit for that, but I'm gonna' have to ding ya' for the lack of imagination on the bezel.

Cheers for the comments folks!
Aye, the front panel was unusable, I salvaged what I could. (Probably the reason it was thrown out)
Already bored with the look of my case, I started a spraypaint session but the can ran out before it was finished... it'll be complete over the weekend. Until then I'm running an 'intel outside' system

lol intel outside. I recgonized the asrock board by looking at it without reading first post or looking in specs
