Sweet, I'm not a light person my self. BUT you can see all the effort that you put in to it and good a dam good job too. Like to see bigger pics.

Had one of those kinda cases back in the UK never got around in doing what you done there.

10/10 as it's a true modded case.

 

[steelkane]

Thanks for the feedback,, Image 1 & 6 have been replaced with larger 1600x1200.

 

[blkhogan]

Sweet!! I like the pimp wheels. That sucker must weigh a ton.
8/10

 

[pentastar111]

Just looked that case up...I gotta say, nice mod job!!! Yours looks nothing like the "supercase" I looked at! Excellent work!

 

[tzitzibp]

Well, you already know what I think about your work....10/10!

 

[kane77573]

Nice job, took along time but the wait was worth it.
I personally like the airflow intake and exhaust features you have added.
Nice job man 10/10

[steelkane]

looking at my pictures in the forums link, are smaller, then looking at them at the case gallery link.. http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/1523.html
why is that, just wondering.

 

[tigerblue]

This Is So Cool. Its A Really Neat Looking And Clean Job

 

[kane77573]

Give me a few days, I'll make you a site gallery to upload your photos to and make it look clean.
I'll just clone my Gallery2 install and import export my sql database and give you full rights to it so you have a decent photo gallery.

 

[rick22]

Nice job..gave you 9 could have been a 10

 

[steelkane]

Thanks, tigerblue, kane77573 & rick22 for your comments & votes.

 

[r31ncarnat3d]

Very nice mod. Just hope you don't take that to LAN parties. The gas money it takes to lug that thing surely outweighs any prizes you may win

8/10

 

[mon74]

WOW! With the size & wieght of that monster, the wheels are not just for show.

Really astounding job!

 

[steelkane]

@ mon74, I looked a long time for them wheels, glad I found them & thanks for the WOW!,, @ r31ncarnat3d, If I do take it to a Lan party I"ll have to rent a tow truck,, LOL, Thanks for viewing

 

[princeshawn420]

nice pc

i bet the lights go dim when you power that baby up!

 

[sandmanhawg]

nicely done steelkane. the detail work inside and out is amazing. i almost see no wires. very clean, it also looks very technical 10/10

 

[paybackdaman]

I like how it is called stealth...lol. Bet it is quiet...so I am guessing that is where the name came from? J/K dude. It is an awesome case. Never seen anything like it 7/10. =)

 

[steelkane]

@ princeshawn420- using PCapex PSU calculator, shows about 540watts, & I'm only using 2 cables from the Enermax modular 720watt PSU, So it sounds about right. @ sandmanhawg- thanks for noticing & a 10. @ paybackdaman- I named it stealth mainly because of the turbine fans & mostly black theme, Also to me it's quiet, thanks for the vote. @ papa2544- Thanks for your genius & 10.

 

[Spacegoast]

looks pretty good. i like how those fans look. i see a few aerocool turbines, i think. also it looks like you have white led's, i was thinking of doing something like that with my case. and then use all silver SATA cables (which i already have) and silver sleeves for the power cables. looks good though. solid 8 from me.

 

[MKmods]

How the hell did I miss this monster?...

Very nice job of packing so many wires into the case, wheels add a nice touch.

PS:nicely done with the metallic paint.

 

[steelkane]

@ Spacegoast- That sounds like a good ideal fro the silver power & sata cables, Thanks for a solid 8. @ MKmods- thanks for noticing the W/M, wheels & paint.
PS: lol on the monster
