On the front it might be hard to get a 120 fitted alongside the 230, (no longer have the 230's im afraid). In the floor, ive mounted 1x 120mm fan. To get a second in would mean removing the hdd cages. Ive also bodge mounted a 120mm fan into the 5.25 bays, used some lian li mesh drive bezels for this.

Ah thanks for the pics. Nice combo with the power cabling, hope to be able to afford the same at the later date but planning on upgrading to new intel chips when they come out and income isn't the highest atm (student life yay..) ^^

Edit: Also, how's it like for noise? I had considered for going for a silent case before but decided to go for flashing lights etc. Added the controller in so I can get the system as quiet as possible during the night and when watching media.

The cables are a mixture of corsairs own and some bitfenix extensions on the 24 pin power and the gpu cables. Need to get the hard wired corsair cables braided with a matching blue to the modular ones. But like yourself, finances are a bit tight as well.

Did you have any trouble with the top panel? Seriously feels like It's going to break when I try and take it off. :l

They are a pain to get off, but it won't break.

One of the little clamps that holds my front panel on was broke when i got the case. But it is still on very securely.

Probably the scariest thing that I've done this year - taking those covers off heh

Old case :

Current State:

Edit: The comp has 3 hdd's and 3 ssd's which made a fair bit of that mess, also had some cathode lighting in the old case.

Fully wired in now :

The backs pretty messy but that doesn't matter so much, it's been tidied a fair bit but there's just soo many wires with all the drives and fans, D;

Has any one tried to cut the lower front of the case off to aid air flow. As you get hardly any from the thin mesh stripes.

I've been thinking the lower half of the front could do with a mesh area like they have on the top for that airflow, but I'm lacking the tools for it. Might try at a later date if ii visit someone who has them etc
