Like you said, need to neaten up those wires a little more. I also see you butchered one of the PCI retention brackets on the case (oops!). Not too bad overall.

LOL. Ya, I've done similar when things just don't fit/sit right.

If your next case is a while away, I suggest moving that rear fan up to the mount just above the CPU HSF, or better yet, get a second one to put there. You will probably get better temps/airflow that way.

I havent looked at cases in a while, but of those two, I like the trinity. It just has a more solid and sleek look to it, but cases are really a subjective and personal thing. Whatever looks good to you.

comments please everyone!

Yeah, I think it's time you got a new case or a heavy mod, but as far as the two cases (TRINITY) I've build the trinity and the NEMESIS before both are very nice cases to build and fit allot of hardware and also run cool. here's the NEMESIS all aluminum case... www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146037 and the black version www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146030
