Primed and spray painted flat black over the original grey insides. Custom-Hack-Job fan controller. Lots of cutting, electrical taping, and wirelooming. Switched drive bays and fans around. Attempted some wire management, although that is hard with this case.

Love the case but a little cramped for those with lots of hardware to put in it :\

looks nice! 8/10.
but i would recommend that you rotate your zalman 90° so that it blows out the back.

this motherboard doesnt allow that seeing how the braket for the heatsink can only go one way, besides there's a 200MM fan on the top for exaust, so all the hot air gets blown out anyways :D

very nice paintjob indeed 8/10, however clean the cabling up, its blocking most of the airflow.

lol thanks.. although.. the top fan is blowing on 3 HDD's so, that's preatty much 0% into the case from that fan, and the lower fan is on high, blowing in about 70-80cfm and there isnt much in the way. plus my side fan.. :D since my motherboard only has 1 fan port (REDICULOUS!), I had to come up with a hell of a hack job on my wiring. If it wasn't for the lack of fan ports or a controller, I'd have a lot less wires. thanks for the votes though guys. :D

Love the whole black theme and everything the way you did it but you could use some cable management a little.

7/10
