Both of the last two get a 4.5/10 from me. Looks like a cat had some fun with those wires.

I'm pretty sure those are before and after shots. 8/10; SATA connectors and ATX power connector seem like they can be very well hidden if you cut a couple of holes in the tray.

I bought it for the versatility and size and haven't been disappointed. The ONLY complaint, and it is minor, is there really isn't a good spot in the top of the main compartment to mount my 12" UV cathode exactly where it'll do the most good. But it still works where it is now. The only mods I've done are to paint the chassis flat black, cut a hole in the bottom to route the fan cables, and "disable" the power button Blue LED (I actually just broke the PCB while trying to solder on a green one.... lol). And the fans are Zalmans. They stopped making them a short while after I purchased mine. Oh, and I checked out your rig. I dig your style.


Man, I need to paint inside of mine matte black, and cut some holes in it's motherboard tray! I'm thinking of getting a different case though. These apevia fans are DARK puke green without UV on, so that's why I asked what ones were yours lol. I want some A.C. Ryan's man!

just a suggestion..

plain gray cases always look so barren to me, especially when wire tucked.

good job nonetheless!

I'll throw a 10 at that. Absolutely stunning! Cable management is great but the overall look and feel of both of those systems is very balanced as well. Normally I don't like LED fans all over the place but they look good in both setups.
