It's just a preference thing. He's got his mounted up with zipties. I mounted mine on the back of my drivebays out of sight with doubled over duct tape. A few people have mounted them in the spot like the pic above to show them off

Also, obligatory low quality cell phone pictures.





Looks pretty standard atm, but I'm gonna pick up some neat white LED fans and eventually those awesome sleeved cables.

anyone have any idea how to silence the hard drives in this case, the clicking is driving me mad, its quite audible with 4 hard drives in raid 5. I can actually feel it on the floor a few feet away from the computer.

also note that i'm about to ditch this case because of this, and the fact that im nearly out of room.

For all of you with White Phantoms like me, I have one of my custom painted 5770's for sale in the For Sale forum. For you guys, I'll include the white 6-pin extension sleeve for it.

Read my computer specs, have one. when solid state comes in a higher capacity than 240 gigs I will.

the most I could go is 7x240 and that will still only give me 1680 gigs-formatting and parity.

I'm nearly out of room on my 2.7 TB.

also note my computer is in my room and runs 24/7 so headphones all the time are a no go.

also im not wearing earplugs before you guys make that comment lol
