    A year of work (on and off) in one single post....
    --------------
    Mark I
    -------------
    Intel Core i7 920
    EVGA classified E760
    CORSAIR CMPSU-1000HX 1000W
    OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3
    ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
    EVGA GTX 260
    TJ07 Case with no side window


    [​IMG]

    After a taking a few rivets out, I was able to flip the motherboard so the Graphic card could be at the top

    [​IMG]

    Then, I cut, trim, and bolted a Lian Li dvd bezel (that was meant for a Lian Lee computer case into the my Silverstone case)

    There must be something wrong... where all this cables come from???


    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    some of my early attempts at cable management (took a while to get it just right)

    NOT TOO IMPRESSIVE


    3rd Try

    4th Try

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    and I made a side window

    [​IMG]






    5th Try at cable management (trying to go for perfection :p )

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Later down the road I moved the Hard Drive cables to run on the front so they were completely hidden

    Installed a card reader

    [​IMG]

    and some grill on the front

    [​IMG]


    This completes Mark I


    Water Cooling is next

    I was very scared to mess up the front panel ( I got the brush aluminum from the side window that I made)

    Nice! It would look even better if you got some nail polish remover and run it over the silverstone badge :thumb:

    That is tidy. Really like the colors, the clean cuts and the thought that went into hiding the cables. :thumb:
