To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
AMD 64 3500+ Venice 2.6 Ghz 1.45 volts, AC Freezer 64 pro, Corsair 1gig value ram, Seagate Barracuda 250 Gig HD, 16X DVD RW +- DL Lightscribe Burner, 40X CD-Drive, Ati Radeon X700 Pro Pci-E, MSI K8N-Neo4 Mobo, Card reader, Xilence power 420W PS.

Mods:
Well parts of this computer used to be a Compaq Presario Sr1650nx, but that proprietary system really bugged me so i bought a new mobo, case, and PS. Then i just transfered over the good parts like the processor, dvd drives, HD, Video card, and the media card reader. 3 case fans with red led's. *Update*: Just finished cleaning up the wiring a little bit, it's not the best but a whole lot better than it was before, haven't sleeved the PS because I plan on upgrading. Case temp dropped from 30C to 28C with the wiring clean up. I'll post pics when i'm not so lazy.

1st build i ever did and i'll never buy another pre-built system ever again. I have seriously had no problem whatsoever with the build and everything worked perfectly from the first push of the power button. I know the cables need to be cleaned up a little more but as soon as i get some zip ties i'll work on it. Thanks for looking.

Very nice! The only thing I'd do is attempt painting the CPU cooler (not while the CPU cooler is in lol) so that everything blends in perfectly.

Love the Viper theme! Definately better than prebuilt. Phewy on prebuilt rigs! Crappy duplicate software, and usually not good for upgrading!

An excellent reconstruction. Hope to see your revised pix with cable management. It is a bear, I know....
