Thanks guys Smile

 

The case mod is slowly moving along, ordered the fans and they arrived a few days ago, got them for only 3.65 each, ACRyan Backfire 12cm UV Blue

got 6 lol, going to replace the fans on the baram and reseat it so it's facing the exhaust fan + some cable mangement, then the other four are for the sidewindow

 

think it might be a tad on the noisy side tho lol

Dude that looks awesome, I never realized that that case is made by Lian Li.  I have to definitely look it up.  I never had an exact idea of how large the case was until the pic you just posted.  Additionally, I have the Arctosa keyboard and love it, just didn't want to shell out the extra cash for the lit up keys.  Maybe that will be on my next keyboard, but we'll see what the companies come up with then.

i wouldn't get this keyboard it's a pain in the ass sometimes, like randomly the media buttons on it will start skipping through all my songs on itunes and the keys will stop working randomly, and all the screws are too tight which makes the lights dimmer than they should be. I'm going to need to take it apart to get it fully working  =\

Yeah that's a good looking system. Nice shots as well. I need to take some pics of my new PC. I took a chance with one of the Rosewill cases I saw and I am left really impressed.

Hey Bob, I can't wait to see shots of your new PC.  I'm considered some Rosewill cases, but I don't know much about them personally.  What are your opinions about your case so far?
