Nice looks. How come you don't put faster hardware in there though? Do you build custom PC's for clients?

I hate that motherboard you used, but that just becuase you can't overclock with it... gana fry it some how lol. Looks great i like the UV.. Thumbs up.

I built this for a friend who had less than $500.00 to spend. Thanks to newegg and a few rebates I was able to get under that mark. The person that I built it for uses it mainly for internet, so no need for faster hardware or overclocking.

And yes, I have built seven computers over the last year or so.

It's a very nice clean build, awesome budget PC. It's a shame some people buy a Dell or Emachines over something as nice as this.

Well, since this was going to be used by somebody other than myself, I just neatly wrapped and placed them inside the empty drive cage so they would be accesable if they should decided to add other parts. (fans, drives, whatever would require power)
I wanted it to be as user serviceable as possible (ie, dont call me unless something isnt working right!)

If its for your own use, I would look around at others who have cleanly run cables behind the motherboard tray.

Nice built, but the blue light is too bright for my liking.
