This was my first serious mod, but have been making small mods (ie. extra fans, extended drive bays, etc) for years now.I would like to make a point before I cop too many more comments about the specs not being that impressive...this computer is now nearly 3 years old...so of course technology has changed dramatically since! Started modding my other half's machine (will post pics as a work in progress soon) and will also be modding a LANBox for my eldest son next school holidays.

Well The case sure looks really impressive. The overall system specs arnt so bad..but that machine looks better than it is.
Why not buy yourself a new GFX card if your one blew up!!

Gotta love those speakers great choice!

Can i ask, Y u took the soprano door off, imo that was the thing that made the case look sleek n sexy... nice inside anyway 5/10

Basically...due to regularly accessing the rom drives...and the fact that I am right-handed (therefore the comp is to my right) the door just proved to be a complete pain in the arse!
