721374 2008-11-19 06:42:00 Yeah, nice job.
One thing though, looks like the retaining clip on the backplane bracket of your video card is not clipped right down, is the video card right into the motherboard slot (had trouble with this myself, had to shim the motherboard a little to line it up with the backplane of the case).

Oh that is because I used a screw instead of the clip to hold the graphic card in, the clip wasn't sturdy enough for my liking.

Sorry about the attachments but I can't upload them straight to here.

Well done by the way. :thumbs: Only comment I have -- are the power cables and other leads in Pic 3 secure, you want to make sure they can not get caught up in the Fans if they move, esp the CPU fan.

Seen it happen before ---- not a nice outcome.

721379 2008-11-19 21:32:00 cool, thanks for the upload!

Ditto.
Spoiled by non-existent cable management.
Drive bays are an excellent p[lace to hide them away you know.
Tuck them neatly out of the way and use lots of cable ties.
Then it will look great,.

721381 2008-11-19 23:51:00 As the others have said - nice but you ought to tidy the cables up.

Heres (img100.imageshack.us) an example of what that case could look like - a world of difference. :)
