I have been working on this one for a month or so now...ordering all the parts for it. Well...I still have a little more work to do, but here is what I have done so far. I just put it together today.

I have had the three cold cathodes for a little over a year now. I got them when I modded my last case, but got tired of it...so I upgraded. I haven't had a problem with them yet.

I did the plexi glass window myself along with 2 fan ducts. One in front that you can see and one on the drive side not pictured. I need to work on the cabling a little, but other than that, I think I and about done...maybe a window in the top?!...hmmm
It never stops. Reef tanks and case mods are addictive.

hey have a look at this site here in the UK, just for some ideas:
www.coolcasemods.com
BTW just to share my specs:
P4 2.2Ghz
512 DDR Ram
256MB DDR GForce Fx Graphics
40gb HDD
5.1 live Sound
32x12x48 CDRW
DVD Drive
5.1 Speaker and Sub setup
Microsoft Wireless Pro Desktop
In case you wondered, I play Flightsim2002 all the time (my second love with SWF!), hence the super-dooper graphics etc!

If you still need parts( my hubby builds computers for a living at home) he gets alot of his parts at www.computergeeks.com, really really cheap prices.
just thought i would throw that in (if any of your guys are interested in upgrading etc...):D
GOOD LOOKING SYSTEM RICHARD.

sweet looking system you got there. ASUS delux mother boards really kick @$$, i got one from a recommendation from slothy and i am very happy. I heard you cant really overclock it though...

I don't really care about overclocking anyway.
I have been to and ordered stuff for computergeeks.com...pretty good site. I have found some with better selection, but a good site all the same. Thanks for the comments.

Yes my hubby has found some with a better selection as well,and better priced but computergeeks was more reputable, and very eager to please the customer and they would price match any that you found on the internet. good luck;)
