To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Intel C2D E6400 Clocked to 3.0GHz
ASUS P5B Deluxe
4 Gigs of G.Skill 800mhz DDR2, 4-4-4-12
PowerColor X1950 with Artic Cooling Xcelero 2
2 Seagate 7200.10's in RAID 0 ~500Gb Total Size
DLINK DWL-G520M MIMO 108mb/sec wireless adapter
Leadtek 1800H Digital TV Tuner Card
Acer AL2416W 24" Screen (1920x1200)
Logitech X530 - 140Watt 5.1
ThermalTake Golden Orb II
3x CoolerMaster 120mm fans (1 Blue, 1 Red)
Microsoft Optical Desktop Elite
Antec SmartPower 500Watt PSU
CoolerMaster Stacker 830

Mods:
Cable Management. Processor Overclocked from 2.1 to 3Ghz. Chucked in some packing on the fans to reduce noise/vibration.

To clear some things up, I dont intend on ever painting this case, and I didnt enjoy the way cold cathodes look in it (the extra cables/mess wasnt worth the added visuals). If anyone can comment on additional (keep it inexpensive) mods I can do, or how to improve cable management futher I would much appreciate it.

great case 8/10, good hardware 6/10, excellent cable management 8/10...
there is potential for better lighting the inside of the case... to get a better effect.
you could also use sound mats under the m/b to get an all black view of the inside and better sound reduction...
nice work total 7/10 !

cable management could be *slightly* better, but it could also be much, much worse.
7/10

Cut holes in the mobo tray for better cable management.

In theory that works, but I dunno how I would do it.
The mobo tray sits almost flush with the section of side panel, so if I were to stick cables through they wouldnt fit very well on their way up towards the PSU end. I originally tried it this way, but the tight fit between the case door and the mobo tray/PSU rail area was causing the cables to get frayed :ohwell:

7/10

@ gamerxpro, they're 70 watts rms and 140 watts peak so technically its an acceptable number...

LOL

Admittedly though, peak power is a poor way to measure speaker output.
Its 10 Watts RMS thru each speaker, and a 20 watt sub.
Just stating what the speakers are advertised as though...

Thanks for the comments/votes guys.
