dan if you spin that freezer pro around 90 degrees and have the hr-5 parallel with it and your gpu so the cpu fan is sucking thru it you will cool both mobo and cpu with 1 fan. throw another fan in the roof above it and it will reduce your temps by a cuople of c.

@ dan-86. nice. yes i consider the honeycomb being cut out as a mod. im considering splitting the modded to "simple" and "extreme".. simple being like.. grill cutouts... cable management holes... adding a fan somewhere.. lol.. then extreme being like window mod, paint, custom water cooling, etc

@ marsey99 - nice suggestion.

@ _smb - updated your link on front page


everyone else - check to see if ur name is there and linked to correct post. if not, plz tell me and ill correct it asap!

Yeah that looks really clean. I have been debating between painting my inside a flat black or a glossy black, I like both looks but I really like how your flat black looks. Good job with the cables too.
By the way how do you like that mouse, hows the response for gaming and such?

Oh btw can I get an add? I should be posting my pics over the weekend.

The 'Revolution' is an okay mouse ... I find the scroll wheel to be a little loose, and I hate how it switches from fast scrolling to notrmal scrolling.

But it's nice an accurate, and it looks cool too

New here, so glad I found this thread.
Just started a build, waiting on a few items to get here. Removed the plastic grills from the front and top, cut the metal grill from the top, enlarged the the hole in the mobo tray for my PSU cables. Removed all the wiring from the top of the case, added a 5.25" multi-function front panel, and a fan controller (that may come out). That's all so far, except for some fan replacement. I will be cutting some more holes in the tray for cable management after the mobo arrives. I will get some pics very soon.

EDIT: Also got a side panel with a window, now only has 1 fan.
