Performed Mods:
This case was modded at a modding shop as I dont have the time nor the equipment to mod my self. I got a fan hole at the top of the case for a 120mm fan but had to remove the fan because of my PSU. Thats all. The only thing I did mod myself is the Tuniq, painted the fan cover and attached a chrome 120mm fan to the side using wires to hold it in place. Thats about it. Im still a noob at modding:).
There are some pictures of some of the components I used. There is a Hiper psu 580w, ATI 2900xt, Foxconn 8800gts 320mb and the 640mb oc version, enermax galaxy 1000w. The pictures are with a mix of these components installed.

Nice system! I would get a better power supply though, that Hiper 580 isn't a whole lot for a 2900XT. 8/10

how much of this computer was built by the shop and how much was built by you?
Did you put computer together with all those components already?
Or was it premade/premodded at the shop?

Intel Agent, its a Zalman ZM-MFC1 PLUS.

The only thing I had done at the modding shop was the fan hole on top of the case, and had my side cover cut. I did not get the system prebuilt, I built it myself.

unless you specified exactly where to put the hole i would insist they replace the case they screwed up and reinstall the fan where it belongs, halfway between the psu and the disk drive. any simpleton could check the standard demensions online for a psu and a disk drive to center the fan for proper clearance. that so called mod shop owes you a case.

I cant take it back, its been a while since I got this case modded and I asked them to put it there. :) I use to have an Enermax Infinity back when I fist got the case modded and had no problem with the PSU getting in the way. The galaxy is a very large and heavy PSU, bigger then the tagan's. I appreciate your concern Keakar, but it was my fault for not knowing that PSU's came so big. Thanks for the reply all.

Well I payed good money for these cards, I got the 8800gts 320mb at the beginning of the year for about $340, and payed $440 for the 640mb onoc. I now have the ATI 2900xt and sold one 8800gts. The other one is in my other rig which is used just for surfing the web and downloading stuff. I couldnt justify going out and getting an 8800ultra because I can buy 2 cards for that money, besides I wanted to try all three cards out myself to see what kind of performance I'd see between the three. Thanks for the vote.
