    Hello!let me start off by saying I'm Shawn i'm a 16 year old and this will be my first mod I've put on a forum.

    Some background info on why i'm doing this. Well my favorite show has been American choppers for years!I mean I loved everything from, the planing,the making,and the out come of the bikes and just the shower was amazing.But as some of you may know the show has come to an end on February 11th 2010. So because this was my favorite show why not do a mod about it!
    The specs are as follow:

    HDD:750gb Seagate barracuda
    OPTICAL:Lite-on Blu ray player/Sony dvd/cd burner/player
    CPU COOLER: Coolermaster hyper 212 plus




    Still need to buy-

    HDD water block

    red/blu/white look great together.

    Seeing the rest of the stuff you have collected, I really want to see how this turns out. Especially the placement/integration of the tank.
