Very nice case man, and nice system too. I am impressed by the cutting, and filing work.

You aren't gonna fix that kink in the radiator hose? lol. Still nice though, good job, and I have to say, I have never seen an upside down motherboard before.

Dude, you totally get rep for that window. Holy smokes...

I'm not feelin' the front tho...I'm thinking change the blue LED's on the fan controller for green and it'd look great...

Other than that, it's f»«kin amazing!

Stereomod: That's the new Lian-Li case; it was designed like that for cooling efficiency.

Fooking Awesome work, I've been waiting for someone to pimp out that new LianLi, and the window leaves me speechless.

Might want to put a spring in that tube to alleviate the kink in picture #2.
