Hullo everyone,

I just placed an order for a black Gigabyte Aurora to replace my Antec SLK3000B, as it has everything I want in a case:
  • It is sexy, light Aluminium.
  • It has a door to hush the spinning of DVD's and other disks.
  • It has 120mm fans only, with two extracting for good and quiet cooling.
  • It has rudimentary cable tidying.
I will go about getting rid of all the blue LED's, upgrading the filtering and trying to to dampen the thin Aluminum to make it as silent as possible whilst still cooling optimally. I have also ordered a 400W Enermax Liberty to be able to tidy it as much as possible and to provide higher amperages on the 12V rails.

What has everyone else done to it and what would you do to it (apart from obviously making it less ugly)?
 
Received the Aurora today. Unfortunately, although it was described and pictured as being with the mesh side, it has in fact come with the window. I have asked whether I can exchange the case or just the panel.

However, does anyone else fancy a black windowed side in return for a mesh one?

I could have course try to mod the window with a filter to let more air in. However, I don't really have the tools to do so.
