new photos for you all of my new gaming rig!!
first one here is the old tower all stripped down, still had to remove the graphics card but couldnt get it off till i unscrewed the old mobo lol


second pic here is the final position of the hard drive racks and components, i had to move the dual intake fans so that they would blow over the top of the graphics card all the ram and the cpu, this created a tunnel effect right through the mid of the machine for maximized air flow, the pc keeps super cool even after 8 hours of multiboxing lol

this next pic is of the wiring pile at the bottom, the case has holes in the rear for all the wires to run through, and tie up behind the back panel. I did a good job of cleaning it up, but this pic shows the moments prior to me pulling out all the slack of all the wires here at the bottom. Tied it all up and made it a little neater after this one



next two pics here are just showing off the lighting set up, the middle center fan and cold cathode lights, with the case cover on and without. I intend on adding another fan(green) in the side panel to round it out, and i might add a light controller if i can find one that works good(to make it sound reactive) They dont make it anymore tho, its called a sunbeam lightbus. i cant find one anywhere!




next bunch of pics is just components and such, in various positions. I ended up having to move my disc drive and the hard drives a few times to make them fit around the graphics card, and to be able to utilize the super short ribbon round cable i bought. I hate ribbon cables so that was my only option lol! Couple of the case after i finished up the first night and of the front,side, and back of the case before start up and lights






Last few pics are of the pc in my build phase after just installing the cpu/mobo, and ram
