what i did was ghetto, because i don't have the tools/knowledge to cut the grates, i ripped the front of the drive off (literally) got some electrical tape and glue and taped the grill without the plastic to the front of the drive. lollll.

I currently have a 900, and I thinks it's got the best air cooling before the 1200 came out.

Mine is very loud, I think it's just because I have all my fans hooked up to a fan controller and I'm not controlling them through the switch, other than the top fan. I have never found a reason to turn the fans up past the lowest setting with my fan controller. So, I don't... Althought it does still seem loud... I was thinking about getting some other fans for it, but that's probably about $100, just on fans.
The top fan, is brittle, and I broke one of the fins off one day, I was working on it and was going to flip a switch on my CPU fan and ended up catching my hand on the fan, but, luckly, it's made with 9 blades, meaning, I simply broke ever 3rd blade off to get it rebalanced, and It works fine for me.

I have a P4 and a 8800GT, and those two things are enough to push a good amount of heat into my room, which is nice in the fall, like it is right now, because I come home and if it was doing anything more than idling while I was gone, it's nice and warm in my room.

I don't mind LED's for the most part, but I think that it's a bit much for this case, having 5 LED 120mm fans. And It lights up my entire room when it's on at night, throwing patterns of the grills onto the walls and ceiling.
I'm thinking about putting switches to turn off the LED's on all the fans, I'm just not sure how much spare wire I'll be working with.

Cable management was HELL. I ended up putting a large amount of cables behind the motherboard, but no matter what I try, it always seems to look cluttered with the fans hooked up to the fan controller. I might do a case mod just to fix this one problem, and maybe make a spot to put a 120mm fan in for exhaust somewhere, because more air seems to get pushed in then the 2 exhaust fans push out.

I was contemplating about doing a reverse setup, having the case pull in air from the back, and push it out the front, but I couldn't get the 200mm fan out of the top of the case without fear of breaking something..

I'll get some pictures when I get home today, and maybe post them up.

I might get a 1200 with my new build, depending on how much money I have left over...
