This case makes me cry real tears of pure joy

I built mine last night, was delightful to do with that pull-out mobo tray and all, really really happy with the noise levels and the looks.

Will post pictures once I've stealthed the drives and tidied the fan wires (ran out of extensions = mess).

And the 19" widescreen that came with it all was fantastic too

The only thing in regards to noise is the harddrives.
I can hear them reading much louder than with my old case

WIll get around that at some point though.... lol

You know, now you mention it... mine seemed a bit louder too.
Why the heck is that :S

It sounds like it just echos a lot more because this case is twice as big as my old one.
Or maybe thats what resonating is (cba to look it up)
All I know is that its louder than my old one. Everything else is quieter though

Exactly the same,

The first thing I noticed when I booted up.

I just added another hard drive, Samsung 250Gb SATAII and only screwed one side, Seems quiet but could just be a quiet drive.

Nice photos guys, nice seeing what everyone else is doing with their case.

Heres mine...

Those are some very nice pics markyb. The cabling looks very neat. Good job. I hope I can get mine as tidy as that when I build mine

Just take your time with it, its so easy to rush it because you want to get your pc up and running

The case is great for hiding the cables. Some of the guys above have hidden them behind the motherboard tray.
