still working on getting everything installed and updated. only got a chance to run one benchmark. i maxed all the settings in Company of Heros with the dx10 patch and got around 150 fps average with a little ocing on the graphics card. the quad's currently running at 3.0 Ghz until i have more time to mess with settings

dan's right. there isnt really much room on the side panel as it is mostly taken up by the 3 windows, the 25cm fan, and the vista oem product sticker i put on

ya but its no chuck norris, I admire that guy, only American to receive an 8th degree black belt, so I thought I was going to see a theme based after his greatness, yes the hardware is kickass but I have seen kickass hardware before so I was expecting something else, but again nothing again the rig it is nice and it is kickass just not what I was expecting to see.

Woah, don't you dare suggest painting a P180/182/190 ever again. The beauty of those cases is the fact that they are so minimalistic.

I'll find out where you live if you do :axe:

ok, ok, im sorry. it was too early for me to be thinking stright, and by moddable,i dont mean paintable, i mean just you can actually take a dremel to it and make a hole for a rad or something, unlike my case, which has holes in all the right places, if you know what i mean :finga:

Cable ties are your friend.

If you find that your PSU cables aren't long enough to hide the majority of them behind your drive bay cages, just clump them all together with cable ties with them branching off (only the amount of cable to get to the port though) when they are needed. Tuck the extra cable near your PSU, or in the spare 5 1/2" bays.

Not much advice, but its the best way i figured of doing it without needing hours and case mods.
