Love the res. If you want an advantage, paint the inside also. You need some trim around the window, the edges are kind of rough.

aight guys that's all for pics, what do you mean stealth the drives......if you're talking about moving them closer together, I've tried that and my cha. temp goes up several degrees.....please clarify.......keep 'em coming

hey akita, thanx about the res, and i agree about the trim but I can't decide what to use....any suggestions

I was going to say chrome auto trim, but I think black trim would be more in keeping with the case style. You should be able to find black door trim at an auto parts store.

Bubbler window is sweet. I've always liked that mod, nice effect. I'd use black door moulding trim like you get at Autozone or PepBoys. It's U shaped with adhesive inside. It would form about a 1/4" frame around your window. I'd also cap the bolts on the wheels.

Stealthing a drive generally entails glueing the blank bay covers over the cd drawer so it appears you don't have any drives. Just blank bay covers. Nice effect on a case like a Lian Li. Personally I think it's silly in a case that has a door. And sillier if the drives already match the case. Sorry Tom...just my opinion, nothing personal.

cool man thanx I appreciate if you think of anything else let me know.....PS the water tank has a goldfish on the way.....;-)
