the lack of grills is killin' me on the rear,but the side is taken care of.wiring will need to be re-done when the new hard drives are bought and installed.

Looks pretty good, Fish looks really cool. did you paint the case yourself?

Nice job so far, love the fish drawing, is it going to be a cutout or a etch?

BTW, LOVE the background on your desktop

thanx guys.as this is my first mod,i'm trying to keep it simple.3(4?)coats of gloss black krylon for the exterior.this is the second version of the window.the first idea was to outline the betta with el-wire,but,1)couldn't get it to stay and 2)too many sharp angles in the betta.currently it's an inside etch with black crayon rubbed in to hi-light.
scape,i reposted the desktop since it dissappeared over the holidays.the pic is from the 2002 jennifer janesco calender.

Have you considered edge-lighting the window with some LEDs to make the inside-etched Siamese stand out prettier? Kind of along the lines of what Wixx did with the Caffeine Machine...clean job of the wiring, btw, and interesting fan alignment above the HSF. Lookin' good so far!

what coel, you slipping?no comment on big square window?(j/k)
still debating the edge-LEDs,thinking of using the el-wire.
as far as i'm concerned,the wiring really looks like **** still.there's just not a lot of point in redoing it until the drives are finalized though.
the side intake pushes air into the hsf and northbridge.it gave me a 17deg f drop in cpu temp on the p2 board i tested the box with.
