To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Nothing special spec-wise. Remember this is a budget pc. I intend on upgrading the CPU, GPU, and Mobo to alow for better rendering times in the future.
Thermaltake Chaser A31 Mid Tower Case
Intel Core i7 I7?4770 3.4 GHz
Windows 7 Home Premium (64x)
NVIDIA 650ti
8GB Ram (Dell OEM)
Dell OEM Micro ATX Motherboard
EVGA SuperNOVA 750B1 750W PSU
1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s
DVD Drive
Antec TriCool 120mm Blue LED Cooling Fans
NZXT Technologies NZXT FZ-140mm Orange Fans
Logisys CLK12 12" Cold Cathode Kit
NZXT Sentry Mesh Fan Controller

Mods:
"Rust-Oleum Painters touch" paint was used for the majority of the paint job.
Real Orange
,Aqua Blue Satin
,Flat Black
,Gloss White
,Gloss Clear Coat

Internals from a Dell XPS 8700 transferred over to Thermaltake A31 Chaser case with custom TRON Legacy paint job. This is a mid-range build intended for rendering meaning that more attention was put on CPU over GPU power. It is also formulated to withstand longer running times with the addition of six fans.

Intended Upgrades:
EVGA GTX 770
Kingston 120GB SSD

When you present your PC, it shows the inside, this is the main
Take pictures of the X button, it has no interest
Also, what are the current specs of the PC
In short prez not presenting any interest

Your specs are not bad at all. Although you didn't mention the type of GPU you're using, judging from the pics alone, it's obviously not the fastest one around ;) As your system is mostly used for rendering, you should definitely go for your intended upgrades. A SSD is a MUST! I have to agree with Kira, there is not much of the internals to see, however it looks clean enough to me. I can't spot those orange fans (the blue ones look nice though)... Overall a big improvement over your old case. I don't think it deserves the bad rating it has today, so it's a 5 from me.

I have uploaded more pictures. I might even do a more professional outdoor photo shoot later. I don't know if it's visible in the pictures, but there is actually tape holding the cpu fan in place. I plan on installing a noctua fan instead which might also go well with the blue of the case. To be honest, I think the color scheme was a bit of a mistake and I believe that the IDEAL tron theme leans more toward orange and black. Let me know what you think.

You taped the fan to the CPU cooler :confused: Are you intending to do the same with the Noctua fan? Do your CPU a favor and install a proper fan that fits, better yet an aftermarket cooler (cheap and effective) ASAP! Also, Noctua + blue = ugh... I'd also recommend you let your MB handle the CPU fan rather than your fan controller. As for the color choice I distantly recall the dominating colors in Tron were light blue and red - the same you use at the moment. Of course it's all personal preference. If you like black and orange, you might want to take a quick look at a project I made: http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/3983.html

Heaven7, I really like your orange and black build. I am new to the case modding scene but I have learned a few things non the less. General rule for case lighting is that the lights have to be hidden so that your not always looking directly at them. Lights serve the sole purpose of illuminating parts.

In reference to your comments earlier, I only taped the fan in because the original fan was still drying (took about a week and a half for the fumes to become barrable). I just installed the fan today(blade is orange - casing is black) and I plan on having more pictures up soon.
