So i completed my final hardware upgrade this weekend; my raid 0 drives, and did the final wiring / organization / mod job on it. It is completely done! There is nothing more i will do to it, now all i have to do is dust it every month or so.
It finally has form, function, and power. I still have to put vista on it, but that isn't anything physical.
I also included a picture of my Intel Stock fan mod! It is the best. There is also a pic of my desk area, it is completed also!
Enjoy! I know how ppl like to look at pictures, *or at least i do* so here ya go. Comments welcome.

Oh yeah, the caption for each pic is above it ^ Not bellow, to avoid any confusion lol

And a free cookie to who ever spots whats wrong in my picture. *Offer redeemable in 2090*
*I'm not talking about the missing knob on my fan master, or the mismatched knob on my fan master*






Just a little airflow diagram showing my fan placement and MAD MSPAINT SKILLZ.




Unplugged and off in the middle of my game room floor. Window off so you can see all the wiring. I finally took the time to redo all my wiring with hot glue, it holds well, and leaves no residue. Only bad thing is i had to glue the actual PSU wires a few times, and that sleeving makes it hard to remove the glue.




Another picture of my case insides. The wiring doesn't look as bad with the window on, you'll see




Case insides again, my southbridge caught the flash nicely.




Close up of the top of the case!



Close up of the bottom of the case! Here you can see the fan i glued to the side of my PSU and my old superflower fan master. Can anyone guess what it is wrapped in? It's not in it's original 3.5" drive bay, its the circuit board hot glued to the clear face plate and the metal faceplate. Hint _ _ _ _ _ y c _ _ _ _




Turned on with lights.




Turned on with lights, you can see my superflower fan master mod turned on now. I broke a few of the LEDs on it lol.




I only use my superflower fan master as a ambient temperature sensor. It's 26.7C ambient outside of my case! My thermostat said about 75F.




Here is where i placed the temperature sensor, it's the very bottom bay, air is being sucked in by the fan i glued to my PSU, it actually has decent suction, i put toliet paper up to it to test. And it is the same temp there as it is outside of the case, i tested to make sure it didn't get hot in that area.




I just thought i would throw this in, it's my lapped TT120! And what's that in the background? Halo Ghosts of Onyx by Tim Nyugen! Good book, sold it on ebay last week. *i think his name is tim*




My tt120 again, who's that in the reflection, me! It made my face look square and bronze.




I love the way the front looks in the dark :] Looks evil




Sponsored by EVGA, Intel, G.skill, and ASUS. JK, they r just case badges. I like when my friends ask what an EVGA is, or "What's a G.Skill?"




Here you can see the final product with the window on. Now it has a nice clean look, all the extra wiring is hidden




Again, final product with the window on. *You can see what's wrong in this picture nicely, it's in other pictures but it's clearer in this one*




Here is a nice pic of my fan mod, i used to have a little box with small 1" x 1" fans in them, but that wasn't cutting it anymore. I got BF2142 and needed some extreme hand cooling, so i whipped out the Stock Intel Fans, did some hot glueing and wiring, and bam! It works so well that if it's bellow 72F in the house, you have to turn it off or your hands will freeze! Also my mouse pad looks extra dirty, it's just the flash. If you look closely you can see my mousepad is also warped, if your going to put a pad in the dishwasher, makesure it isn't bent when you put it in!




Picture of my desktop area, and my new Sceptre 20.1"!




Final picture of the whole setup, completely done, and freshly vacuumed. My monitor is winking

I used to have the Vanguard poster of the world of vanguard up there, but i quit the game because of time restraints and then sold it on ebay :]

The flash really makes it look barren and brings out the wires on the walls heh.

Thx for the positive responses, now i'm sure i'm not going to touch it again heh.

Hey, Great lookin case ya got there. Your insides look a lot better than mine. Gives me hope that I can make mine look better, though!

Also.. Did you remove the plastic underneath the side vent? I couldn't see the fan vent/mount thing, and if my house wasn't so dusty, was considering doing the same thing.
