  |  New to forum Hello ladies and gents! I'm new to the Xoxide forums and I thought I would post a few pics of my new computer project. It pales in comparison to some of the works of art I've seen on here so far, but it is also my first case modding, so I'm always open to new ideas! This is probably my favorite view of the case.  Custom Painjob on the dual front bezels.  Custom Paintjob on the side panel.  This is a thermaltake Armor MX case Running the stock fans, a Big Typhoon CPU cooler, a Nvidia 9800 GX2 card XFX 8200 750a SLI mobo, AMD 5000+ 2.6 ghz Dual Core CPU, 2x2gb DDR2 800 Ram, and a Xigmatek 1000+ watt PSU. All comments are appreciated be it good or bad! -Flannigan Last edited by Flannigan; 09-07-2008 at 12:02 PM. |

 | Re: New to forum Nice rig. I like the lettering on the fins of the rig. How do you like the MX? I wanted to eventually get the jr for my daughter's Emachines upgrade but it is getting harder to find. I have been debating over whether I want to get the MX. |

| Re: New to forum The only complaint I have is that the motherboard tray doesnt have any holes in it to assist with cable management. Besides that it is wonderful. Its not super heavy, well, by itself :P. It looks great, and has a tool bay on top of the case itself(which im considering modding into a spot for an extra fan) The fan DOES make noise, it is big, the air movement against the acrylic makes a low humm. Not enough to bother me personally, I actually kind of like the sound. all of the front drive bays are mesh, and have filters in them. OH sorry a second complaint, my motherboards power LED pins are set up right next to eachother, and the Cases plug is set witha positive, a blank spot, and a negative. This made it incompatible with my Mobo untill i rewired it. Both of the front bezels can be easily removed if need be, the entire case is pretty much tooless. I dont like the PCI holders because they dont keep it as tight as screws. If you have any questions feel free to ask them :) -Flannigan |

| Re: New to forum it looks pretty good. i dont see any pics of the inside so i cant make an evaluation. if it was me though i would cut the vents on the acrylic for that big 240 to open air flow. |

| Re: New to forum Im considering it, but it sucks air IN, so then I'd have to get a big Filter for it, as of now dust doesnt collect in my case. not exactly something I want to change XD. Plus I suck at cutting acrylic. -Flannigan |

 | Re: New to forum Nice job! I'm currently using the same case with an EVGA GTX 260 FTW in it. Yep, you have around 3/16" of space left between the card and cage once one of these newer monster cards are installed. Here's a couple of pics of mine with a BFG GTX 260 OC installed in it when I reviewed the case at MI.   I later decided to go with the EVGA GTX 260 FTW Edition, as the BFG developed a heat issue.
