new case.
i'm ultra-stoked about this new case i'm getting for my box.

i can feel some mod ideas already (some el_wire around the plastic on the front.. ect.)
everywhere i've read about this case they are crazy about the paint job, i hope i'm not disapointed. |

It looks nice, but you'd probably be better off buying one w/o a power supply, then buying a better PSU later.
Also, it doesn't look like it has good cooling at all- Since you haven't gotten it yet, I would look around and find one with a blower on top- blowing out (92mm), and a fan on the side blowing fresh air on the CPU/ video card.
You will be happy you did, think about tryng to cut a hole in the side of a case, not too fun if it can be avoided.

The case looks pretty nice to me, and the holes you would need to cut since you are planning to mod. wouldn't be that hard to do anyway.

It does look cool, all I can say is don't try to cut holes in a metal case with a jig-saw-
It's very messy- and insanely loud. I had a hell of a time doing it one day, but it turned out ok. (reminds me I need some sheetmetal niblers  ) |

It will be. I went from an Antec SOHO to what I have now in my sig. I've actually seen similar models of that case, and it's about the size of mine. |
