woah, can you show me how you did those fan grills or where you got them from? Ive been looking for a way to mount more fans in my front w/o getting another one of those drive cages, that looks sweet!

Thanks for the nice welcome and the props. I figured I'd catch a ration of crap for my weak gpu, so that's why I tried to head it off by letting everyone know that I'm not a gamer. ha ha.

A buddy of mine just built a sweet system and is running SLI'ed 250 GTX cards. I figure once he gets tired of them and upgrades I'll buy one of them from him.

As a bit of an update, I had some trouble with my Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R board. It seemed to work fine until I started torture testing it. It turns out that it had some problems with slots 1 & 3 that were not uncommon once I started specifically scouring the web for it. Long story short, those slots would work fine if you only had one stick in one or the other, but as soon as you fill both (1 & 3) at the same time you'd get errors. You could run OC'ed DDR2 ram in slots 2 & 4 with no problem, but I'm moving to 8GB as soon as I go 64-bit in October, so it was a problem for me.

After some discussions with tech support and some more research I RMA'ed the board and bought an ASUS P45 board and some DDR3 RAM. I'll update my sig as soon as I have it running stable at 4+ Ghz, and I'll post some photos once I get the cable management back in order.

Ahhh the joys of building your own system, I know it well

Good luck on your endeavors and can't wait to see those pics

Thanks. I totally don't mind the trouble I've had so far. I've learned a freaking TON, and my existing system works just fine so I'm really in no huge hurry to get this build running. Essentially, I need to build it just fast enough to make sure that if I have to return parts that they are within the return period...

Oh jam. Haven't posted in this thread in a while.

Sick rigs guys! Mine hasn't changed much, except for an addition of two 120MM fans. I want better ones though, this red one I have is loud.

Do you think this case can hold just wonder if those "toolfree" can handle such a load and if this unit is too long and would get in the way of the motherboard.

I dont have a depth length (I wont recieve them until monday or tuesday)

I bought 2 for 35£ which is cheap here in Denmark when you cant get Norco 4020 in Europe so I need to find the cheapest case that can hold it

^^^That's awesome!

Please add me to the CM 590 club...dunno why I didn't do this a long time ago since I've had the case for awhile now. Only mod I did was a add another 120mm fan in the 5.25 bay area. I have my Q9550 & Gigabyte UD3P housed in the there.
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I own this Centurion 590 case for just about 2 months, and i'm really happy with it, though i haven't really casemodded it yet, but that will come soon enough (i'm thinking of a black interior, I saw some pics of them and they looked awesome). And also I may have a solution for the 2nd 120mm front-fan: I bought a Thermaltake Icage which fits in 3x 5,25" drive bays and was standard equipped with a blue LED fan (120mm). You can easily replace the fan, and there's no need for hard work. (also Neon looks great in this case )
Here are some pics made by my *****ty camera phone: LG KU9900 "Viewty"
