    I got a new Hard Drive and decided it was time for a case change form my trainwreck of a mod premod case.

    I choose an Antec SLK3700BQE. The plan was something to match the black TV, videogame systems and shelf, as well as look good enough to display

    i added the 80mm fan hole there to cool the HDDs. There wil lalso be one in the glass for the videocard. a problem was that the 80mm would letme add 2 hard drives because it blocked them. I need to get a thin fan to use for this.
    the chassis, floppy, and drive bays painted

    everything put together, looking very nice

    Great work so far and good cutting with the Dremel. All i can recommend is for you to braid the PSU and change it's fans for some Blue LED ones and stealth the drives and you're laughing :D Very tidy case, good choice.

    EDIT: The top of the case could also use a CCFL :D
