I've been dying to get this case for ages, and it finally arrived today at 4pm. So as soon as it came through the door, I had the old PC on the kitchen table and started gutting it 
It's the second time I tried to acquire this case. The first time I traipsed into London, lugged the thing all the way home to find pieces missing, fingers marks all over it: I'd been deceived and sold a second hand case as new. So I went back and had a "chat" and I got a refund! Unfortunately OcUK don't sell the case without the window.
I've never built/rebuilt a PC before, so it was a little daunting. The most I've ever done was replace a graphics card/memory. So I thought I'd share some photos with you guys, see what you think.
I tried my best with cable management, but some wires just had to go across the case, which was very annoying, but meh. It happens. Also have to replug in the memory card reader (since it doesn't work
) and the power/HDD lights don't work. Gotta work on that!
I've put loads of pics in because a) everyone loves 'em! and b) It was hard to find a lot of build pics around of this case in the past. Let me know what you think!
Old case (with amateur fan intake mod)
New case:
All the bits:
The rebuilding:
Finished:
