yah, so i ordered some rounded cables in the hopes of being able to lower my case temp (and hopefully therefore cpu temp) a tad, at best. they didn't. ah well, i guess at least they'll look pretty in my case with no freaking windows or anything... oh wait :rolleyes:

Get one of these for your case:

I have the PC-65 which is the PC-60 with this side panel. It is a pretty big window, 13"x11.5" to be exact:)

Well I have had a few problems when ordering from these guys in the past so I can't "highly" reccomend them, but they sell that side panel and that is the only place I know of right now that does!

I got that same case from here (http://www.directron.com) for only $165 for the whole case and everything. Looks great, lowered my temps, and is nice and light! Now time to look into a cold cathode to put inside it!

Wha?! $165 for a case? Holy crap! I thought mine was expensive at $56. Glad I'm not into that designer stuff. I just need a box. :)

Oh yeah, I just sent $129 for 3 "boxes", w/ 400W PSUs, shipped. :D

I got my case at NewEgg. It was originally $22.00. But I ordered a 900 Duron and got $5 off the case. The only features it has is that it is "toolless" not "screwless":D That means it has clips on the side panel and on the drives inside and you just slide the clips to the side to secure the drives. Saves a lot of time, if you ask me. I would post pics, if I knew how.:rolleyes:

yeah, I also got rounded cables about maybe 2 months ago, and they did not do anything except look better where no1 can see them

Also, my case has a place for a side fan, so I did not have to do ne modding
