Performed Mods:
As much cable management as I could do. The first case photo is factory stock with everything just dropped in. I paid a little more attention to everything, and it looks a million times better (imho). please give me advice on what you would do next considering the project ( where cheap has to = good performance)
side note, i think i am going to put a window in this thing (if i can get a window with air vents in it that fits this thing!)

nice job so far. Except for the Apple logo, lol
ONE problem you went to PC world if i may say that is really stupid of you and you got APPLE and PC WORLD have you gone mad.but excepted from that i think the specs are ok and 1 thing how much did it cost from PC world
pc world? i got it at office depot months ago
the pricing you can find in my previous build, i haven't spent any more money on it
lastly, to all you mac bashers, you clearly have never used a mac recently, with their unix console availability and their prowess at video and sound editing, they are top notch machines. of course they're not gaming machines, that's why i didn't post my mac here. also, i put the apple sticker on the pc because i am trying to run dual boot on this computer, the inverse of boot camp: run osx86 on this and windows via a partition that i can access in bios (trying to work a way to have it give me a menu when it first boots up, but i haven't worked on it in so long i don't even think i could pick up where i left off)
plus, it's funny to have an apple sticker on a pc, methinks :-)
today, the fry's ad for my city (san diego) had the antec smartpower 2.0 500 watt for 54.99 before a 40.00 MIR. just picked it up and plopped it in. now i can add more fans and lights and stuff!! it's modular cables too, which kicks ass, plus my mobo is now (finally) running on a 24pin plug unlike the sketchy 20-pin 300W psu that my comp came with
it's in store only
Good job on the cleanup though. Kudos+++
I did @ least.
I went to using those for floppies, HDD's (EIDE mostly, now only on my SONY DRU 810a DVD burner), etc & have NOT looked back (& SATA/SATA2 has only made airflow even better, because they are tiny cables, inside of my cases here).
They cost a bit more, but you have them & can use them, system-to-system, all the way up to the death of std. IDE/EIDE or the floppy drive itself (which, imo, is not going to happen in either case anytime soon).
:)
* Keep @ it, it's not that expensive to get into (for once, something on a PC that doesn't "break you" going "high-end" & that's better cabling) either...
APK
P.S.=> You're going to like that, a lot - I do! I have the same one here, & you only add power shunt harnesses "AS NEEDED", plugging them in as needed... this I liked, very much! PLUS, they're ALL BRAIDED & such, makes for a much neater case interior... apk
