well here is my #2 pc. which was my main rig for about 2 years. till last year i built the monster i have now.
Ok the Spec,s : CPU- AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (San Diego 5993) CPU cooling- cooper heat sink w/Thermaltake Smart fan II 80mmfan Motherboard- ASUS A8N32-SLI--Deluxe motherboard,Bois 1018.001 Chipset- VIA K8T800 Pro,AMD Hammer Memory- Patriot dual channel ( 2x1024) 2gig pc3200 400ddram- Power Supply -Aspire 680watt " The Beast " Video - BFG6800 Ultra 256mb (AGP) Monitor(s) -Hitachi Super Scan 803 21" flat screen CRT Audio - (ATM) onboard Realtek AC97 Network Interface(s) (subnet) - nvidia on board gigabytes Hard Drives(s) - Seagate ultra ATA 100 Barracuda 7200rpm 16mb cache 320gig Optical Drives(s) -Lite-On dvd/rw/cd/rw (dual layer) OS(s) - XP PRO SP2 Case -Aspire Cruiser w/clear side panel
the 2 mods i have done to this case is . i removed the metal screen mesh at the back case fan. which is a 120mm.
then i did some major cutting in the front of the case. so i could mount a 120mm fan in the place of the 2 - 80mm fans that are there originally.which is a Thermaltake smart fan II. dam it can pull in some air.
i wish i could come down just a little bit more. so it would align up with that port in the case.
also i did put a high out put 80mm fan on the cpu, its a Thermaltake smart fan II .and a appliqué on the side panel.
this is a old picture of it. since that psu is no longer with me any more. lol was my 1st psu that i did a lume job on.
psu are the worse one to do this 2. way to many plugs to deal with. thats why on my main rig the Tagan i had done by Performance-pcs.com it was worth it.

well since my old pc which was my email rig lol has died last week. so this one got to be a host for the left over ram it had in it. so now it has 4 x 1024mb of ddr400 pc3200 ram. and i also redid the flow of the case as well.
i now have the front 120mm fan is now the exhaust and the rear 120mm is now the intake. aslo i finally put in the new psu i got from my RMA from OCZ. the 700watt Gamer Extreme which is nice. since it is small in size. so now the top case fan.
the 80mm is no longer on the outside of the case. and i put the last 80mm ThermaleTake Smart fan II in its place for better air flow to the outside. and i also installed 2 set of AC Ryan twinn over boost black UV lights. 1 set of 12" and 1 set of 8" now light it up. and i also use some automotive side mirror Plexiglas.
i got it from Autozone. i used it in my main rig as well. which it hides the 5.25 bay side tray up.like what these 3 pic show
here are some of pictures taken at night.
here is the front 120mm fan which is now the exhaust for the case. it really moves the air!

well i got to thinking and i decided to change out the rear 120mm for a UV blue with no lights on it. most definitely looks better now and the black UV lights really light it up good.
and i just now notice that the psu ,it's 120mm fan is a lighted blue fan. lol
i know it looks like a big mess in the center. but it is the best i can do with this case. i can't hide them the way i want to.this case is a mid tower type. but atleast they are all in one section. i may still lume the wire for the UV lights yet. since right now they are the only ones that are not done yet. but the UV green round cables for the drives and optical's look better then the UV blue cables i had on it before. _________________ Thermaltake Kandalf LCS

yeah i know it is a mess, but a controlled mess at that. but hey when you have this many big round cables and not to many places to hide them. it is very cramp in there!!
this case is way to small for what is inside thats for sure. well i took a few more pictures. since i did get 1 more black UV over boost cct and it looks like i got 1 of the 12" tubes dieing on me now.
they told me i have to buy a full set to just replace the burnt out 1. man thats sucks. or well it does look nice though.
i know im going to need to do a format on it here soon. its been on the slugish side the last few months. being a server takes a toll on it and being on 24/7 for months to well over a yr straight.
will take its toll on stuff like this. beside that i use it for my email as well so i got anti virus to deal with as well. _________________ Thermaltake Kandalf LCS
