best part of any build: taking the parts out of the shipping box, admiring everything, and reading every word on each box, and finally opening everything! lol

then comes the building...

lol I hear you. Pictures tonight, but they arn't the best. I am gona see if my roomate will let me use his tripod and his camera tonight (so i don't have the nasty flash). I also added some lights since then so yeah. The build is done though and so far my issues are over with! Now time to OC (but I have stuck sensors on my E8600...). I'll probably just do an easy 4.0.

I wish I had a father who was into hardware and computer electronics like I am. It's just disappointing because whenever I find out something interesting I tell it to him and to little effect. Oh I would love to see more pictures if that's possible.

That is a sweet case. How have you been liking it so far? I think it may be in the running for the next case i choose.

I love it. The fans on the case are nice and quiet, but if anything loud is in the case you really hear it because of all the mesh. LOTS of space and superb quality. It is heavy (30 pounds). Lots of cable management in it, hard drive bays are tool free, the screws to secure video cards and what not are tool free as well (neat design). If you don't get this case at least get a cooler master. I can't see myself ever buying anything else again (I had an Antec 900 before this).

Thanks for the input. I had a 900 as well, and though it was nice, I didn't like it all that much. That's when I bought the p182, which I think is amazing, but it's starting to feel cramped. I'm Cooler Master is in my future.

Very solid build man, wish I had the money for that setup. Nice job keeping the wiring clean without it being a modular by the way

Oh wow my bad, thought it said 11-28-08 Sorry.
