This is a ZALMAN case. www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=228&code=031
Looks good but so expensive~~~~~ $$$$$. I would go for a ANTEC P180 which is half as expensive as the ZALMAN one. Buy on a good pair of 2G ram or a PSU, thats what I would do.

that's some nice hardware, the OCZ memory sticks are awesome, I put 4GB in my system with no trouble.the only thing I would have changed in your system is a stronger power supply.the one you have is good but if you get another 8800 GTX card it will want more power.I really like the Zalman case and maybe you could post better pictures, or did you spend all your money on your computer and dont have anything left for a good camera,LOL. looks good based on your parts, not the pictures, I gave you a 9.

I voted 3/10 because:

Yea I gave it a 3 because you did little to absolutely no mods. This is a case mod gallery, you should show what work you've done, not what you bought.

It is more of a case gallery for people to post their computers and discuss possible improvements. They can show off if they want. Although a computer like this one should obviously score higher than someone that just had decent hardware. A vote of three means "poor" according to its description, this computer does not really fit that description, although cleaning up the cables could help. It's hard to tell from the picture.

I built this rig my self every part of it. I would never buy a pre-built PC EVER! I never have and never will. I put all the work every last bit of it. Keep your eye to for more. I want to convert the CPU fan over to water cooling. Also my dad paints cars for a living. So Im going to have him pimp my paint. Got any Ideas for a custom paint job?

Yea Thats were I got the Idea for the red fan. I seen it there but when I went looking for it. Its doesn't exist, its just a promo item. So I bought the Zalman CNPS9700 NT. Witch only comes with a green fan. Then I bought Zalman Fatal1ty CPU 120mm fan. I cut and sanded it down so it would fit the 110mm CPU fan casing. Because of what? I did all the work. I installed every part of this rig From the ground up. You need to read ^ before you post Fox. I think Mokinock was right about a few things. Its sounds like to me someone is a little jealous. Get over it Fox I all least moded 1 thing on my rig. (Working on 2 more things) You act like you the modding king. You profile says Interests: Modding, Building. Yet you have not done a thing to your PC. Putting UV lights don't count as modding/building. At least my very small mod. The cutting sanding of the 120mm fan. Counts enough to show off my PC. You can't even say that much.

I voted 5/10 because:

The only mod is the cpu fan, yet that Cooler isn't very good to begin with. Check out some of my computers if you need other ideas. Also the wiring is very poor. You also made a mistake on the Raptors as the Perp. recording drives are just as fast and offer much more space. This "mod" reads as a cash purchase. Big whoop you sanded a fan to make the colors match. You spent all that work, yet you didnt even take the time to stealth drives or route wires. Good job on the bling though.

This is a shame, stomping his system like that, "JEEZ". We all express ourselves in different ways, some cut holes, others paint, and some just go all out. I call myself a light modder, painting and cutting, others go over the top and that's cool. Quit beating each other up and KEEP MODDING. Love the case man, Cronydog

This case needs no modding at all. This imo about the best case money can buy.
So cutting up a 300 euro case that's not what i would do.
Some like it clean without any modding. The cables can be a bit neater.
That's why the i voted 9. Thumbs up man.

I vote 6/10 (Excellent). Very clean, and a nice theme. Better cable management would net you a 7 or better. And I think the mod on the cooler was a great idea.
