finally got around to takin some pics for my hush build, might have a buyer and he wanted to see some so he got me into gear :D

i dig the case :thumbsup: but we need a lil more room between back panel and mobo tray, putting the side back on was hell - and it was really hard to fit the psu in w/ cords going through side hole - other than that not bad :D

Nice man! Like your cable management. I also have a HUSH but I can't understand how you got those cables behind the mobo tray. How did you do?

That CPU Fan is tempting....But i got my newer Zalman fan sitting here.

Nice man! Like your cable management. I also have a HUSH but I can't understand how you got those cables behind the mobo tray. How did you do? im still wondering that myself, it was not easy putting that back side panel back on at all. i almost ended up giving up and rewiring the entire thing inside the case, but like they say, where theres a will theres a way! :evil_lol:

and to mayhem, dependind on the processor, i think the heatsink is kind of overrated because in my experiences the processor will reach its highest oc with perfectly fine temps but still wont oc any more w/ stability. with a windsor rather than a brisbane it might play a bigger part but with these 5000be's the heatsink doesnt make that much of a difference IMO

AMD??????? Intel is what i run with. I'm thinking of putting a fresh coat of Thermal Grease on when i transfer my stuff over to my new case once it comes out.......

How do you find the MSI 8800GT 512? i was thinking of getting one, but one of the drawbacks for me was the sink, i wasn't sure how it would perform, and it doesn't vent outside the case, does it run any cooler then the stock sink? & does it make a note able increase to system temps?
