there's been a few threads, but they may have been waysided, by server changes......did you buy it, or make the changes yourself?......wobbles

it could have looked triple as good if you clipped all the cables and it is very good for the airflow.

I manage to have 42Idle and 53C stressed with a P4 550 and a gt6600 nvidea (same temps) just because of a good airflow.

just a small hint.

the only major thing i did was paint the inside of the case(even the PSU, fan guards and HDD 'cooler') ... i got a near mirror finish I'm alil proud of ... although there appears to be alot of wires, more than half of them are tucked where you can't see ... lol ... and no stock cooling either

I just finished up my case today (5 hours of pain staking work!). I painted my PSU and DVD face plate (several days before hand) to match the case. I didnt go all out on this mod but what I am proud of is how well the wiring turned out. I feel that it turned out very clean which is what I was going for. I bought a Thermaltake Shark case and had to do some modifications here and there for it to except my gigabyte server board with dual CPU's...but nothing extreme. I am sorry to say that it will be tomorrow (Sunday) before I can post a picture of it. I am eagerly awaiting all of your comments and suggestions.
