Here is my baby. Haven't done any mods yet. Not sure if I want to put a window in the side or not. I have added a fan to optical drive bays. If you look close enough you can see the clear zip-ties I used to attach the fan mount from the bottom of the case.
Here's some pics of the inside of the case. I didn't bother taking pics of the outside, as everyone knows what the stock case looks like.
I'm gonna dremel some holes right behind the mother board so the sata cables don't have to run so far down, and also, so my 4 pin doesn't have to run all the way up to the top hole. Wish I could get rid of the blue IDE cable there. I just need to shell a few bucks and get 4 500-gig sata drives and put em in a raid 5. I know I don't have the greatest video card, but I don't really game, and I primarily use my system as a Tivo. I would highly recommend the Avermedia PCI-X tuner to anyone wanting to create a Media Center PC.
Here are all my cables behind the motherboard tray. There aren't so many because most of them run along the bottom, and I have a modular psu. That usb cable goes to my cd rom drive. I keep meaning to order a sata one, but keep forgetting. Since I have 2 IDE HDs and only one IDE connector on my system board, I am using an IDE/SATA-to-USB adapter on DVD/RW drive. It works great, and is still is bootable in my bios. There is no slow down reading/writing to cds or dvds. I tried connecting it to a hard drive in my old case, but it was way to slow writing to the hard drive.
I had a clear acrylic case before this one, and I love this case. The acrylic case was a pain in the ass, because anytime I wanted to adjust my hardware I had to remove 12 screws from each side panel. I am planning on dremeling the acrylic case, and creating a much smaller enclosure for a micro-atx setup(socket 754 turion) I have, and will be putting in my car. I just gotta order the dc-dc power supply and the touch screen.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to listen to me rant. I am planning on painting my case, but have not decided on colors yet. I will update the pics when I do decide. [/rant]
