Alright, I'm officially in now. I've wrestled with this case for a while now, but I've finally got everything in. I like the case ok, but I broke the stupid cheap power button and it really bothers me. This seems to be not uncommon with this case.

So I have six Antec TriCool 120mm fans running on a Zalman fan controller. However, I couldn't fit a fan on the floor of the case. The PSU is just blocking the fan. I don't know if it's my huge PSU's fault or the case. Everything seems to be running cool though internally.

No mods, fairly Plain Jane on the front:


But not when you look inside!!:


I had no idea the 9800GTXs were going to be so damned huge, it was a tight fit. Accessing the CMOS jumper or nearly any part of the PCB is now difficult or impossible.
