I just finished upgrading and downsizing my main rig and completed my first mod on this virgin case. Here's a before and after description before I jump headfirst into the details

before
after
Now that's progress
Very cozy. This case is so much fun to fiddle around with. There's a hidden handle under the front of the bezel, all of the aluminum is clear anodized to a reflective finish, and it's got comparatively good cooling for such a little enclosure.
