believe ot or not the thing is no louder than it was. atualy it was louder without the mod (or actualy during the mod) i had to take it home to my parents house (pops has all my tools while i'm at school) it took us 2 weekends and during that time it was louder since there was no side on it. so really it's not any louder than before. these fans i stuck in are so sweet they have a reohstat for each fan which i wired all together.....now waiting for my fanbus to arrive so i can clean it up

thanx NASsoccer

PS the funniest thing is it will blow papers of my desk there is that much air streaming out. all 4 fans on the side blow in.

I used a super glue to hold my window in( not real super glue..but pretty close)...I ran it across the inside of the trim, and just placed the window on top of it...Its clear, holds great, and seals pretty darn good, so no air escapes from around the edges..
in this pic, the window is glued in, and ready to go.

awesome looking cases guys. to the front? you can add
a big 120MM intake and rig some LEDS on each blade.
now that would be cool.

I dont think thats really offensive..I never knew what it meant however...Im still not offended..but maybe someone is...

The front of the case..hmmm...well I bought a 4"lcd display to show all my MBM5 Stats on....and ive thought about cutting the center part out of the door and putting a mirrored window in its place...but im not sure....there are a few other things that have crossed my mind...if I do any of them I'll post pics....
again,Sweet job on the case!

I looked at those LCD things. The one's saw actualy can play a movie ect....... i thought about getting it and playing some thing like the toms hardware CPU tests video were he burns up like a gazilion CPU's...........would be sweeet, but it's somehting like $150 for the little one


if i was Itallian it might not be so bad, but i'm not and probably would be a good thing for the future.

Guido isn't really a racial slur. I'm not sure what the real meaning of the word is, but all the Italians in my city (Rome) call each other Guido's all the time. So it's nothing offensive.

And Goombah also mean friend or partner.

IE. I'm going out to party with my goombah's tonight!
