I finally cut out those little plastic bits, temperatures don't really seem to have improved much, and I didn't notice any real sound benefits, but the case does look much nicer. I won't be posting any pictures until my SATA DVD RW drive gets here and I can get rid of that IDE cable though.

That's what I like about the older 965P DS3 boards - 6 SATA ports (granted, I believe the purple ones can only be used for RAID setups, but if you're using over 5 SATA ports anyway you've probably got one). I agree that it's probably time to up the standard to 6 or 8 ports though, it's not too uncommon for people to be running three or four hard drives and a pair of optical drives.

yeah.. especially me.. 5 harddrives.. 2 opticals.. 2 externals.. >_> lol

hmm so i failed a mod today. i tried to convert a drive bay cover to replace the blue arcrylic on the Zalman ZM-MFC1 fan controller. HELLA HARD to drill holes.. one some, it was easy because the center was a hole.. but when you have some that are like on the metal of the mesh. OMG. so hard @_@

also, considering i have red cathodes.. i wanna put blue led fans. what you guys think? should i go blue? or stick with straight red? blue led + red cathode + white case = red white and blue? ahahahahaha patriotic aint it ? lol..
