Toss in some oozy green like the waste and you have a supah fine machine. And for those picking on the hardware inside, some like style and have the knack for it so kiss off if you don't like it.

9/10 first time seeing a case mod with orange leds.

And translate this please:

Мой первый моддинг на тему ХЛ2, общее время составило около 3 месяцев. Заменены светодиоды в кулерах, подсветка окон, гравировка на боковом окне. Покраска УФ краской.

Sorry if you cant read this. its mean "My the first modding on theme HL2, general time has made about 3 months. Light-emitting diodes in coolers, illumination of windows, an engraving at a lateral window are replaced. Painting by a UV paint."
I'm from Ukraine and used cyrillic characters in my descriprion.
