tight fit, looks good though. I think you need something above it, or below it.

haha... nice.

My room looks really tidy on one side (desk) then on the other (bed and main floor space) it's riddled with computer parts and shipping boxes.

I just wanted to post this for the people that haven't seen it.

Rogue Pictures
Rogue Worklog

I think this is the most amazing SFF case I have ever seen. all you can do is clap or cry, scrolling through his worklog is like a climax to a orgasm. look at his new SFF project

i have trimmed some more front of the case to try and get some air going through the case. you can see some of the metal when you look at it straight on but its not noticable from the sides.

im gonna put some blue leds or cold cathodes behind the mesh so it glows or mabe a red knight rider led strip?

i give you my new mini cube




i put my dualcore atom 330 itx board in a new case. its a modified morex 669 with the bottom 3.5" bay cut away and a 5x sata hotswap cage put in. at the moment its only running 2x2.5" hard drives bluetacked to the bottom of the case and one 3.5" drive in the cage due to lack of sata ports. im hopefully getting a 6 port sata raid card and more 1Tb drives for it soon so i can get a raid 5 array set up..
