Lovin that case

great looking case; doesn't reall sell itself towards a window though imho; a bit cramped

yeah its a bit cramped but i just about managed to make it look neat - I love the fact that you can put the most powerful components in such a small case and a window shows this off. Without the window, people may mistake it for a mid range pc , god forbid!

A decent PSU with better looking cables would help but all the best ones (like the XFX Black) have the cable plugs right where the GPU hangs over the PSU (yes, my GPU is ridiculously long).

here is a video i made of the build to demonstrate just how blinking cramped this case is to work in:

Looks awesome, been debating this case for a little media machine for the lounge...

I think that this case would look great as a media PC but it doesn't have an optical drive bay which may be a problem

awww damn blu ray drive would be a defo need... but than again got the ps3...

It does bring an optical drive bay? You mean it's not visible/accessible unless the front panel is removed? Or that you had to remove it to fit the 240mm rad?

Very nice droid by the way.

Sorry I wasn't clear - it does have an optical bay but you need to snap the front off to get at it
