I just got this case from SVC, and I must say I'm impressed.

I used to stick to whatever case I could get from my friends that they weren't using. (At one point one of those huge Antec "Alienware" style cases from back in the GeForce 4 days)

I finally decided, enough with using cheap PSU's and pieced together cases from people's garages, and I decided it was time to go good on hardware.

I'm currently torn on what PSU to get, but I will for sure be getting a Tier 2 or Tier 3 ranked PSU as I plan on running an 8800GTS down the line.

My question is, are there any good sites with some how-to's on how to do a nice wire-tuck using a dremel and what case-fans are low noise, good cooling?

I'm not looking for bling-bling, so no LED suggestions please. In fact, I plan on priming the aluminum parts of the front panel and going with a flat black/gun metal look. (I used to be an import auto enthusiast so "clean look" elegance and style is my forte')

The only mod I've did to mine when I first got it was add a 120mm fan to the front. I'm using only one optical drive at the very top, so I took out the remaining 'Knock-outs" below it and zip tied the 120mm in. Dropped the temps by about 3-5 degrees across the board. Hiding the wires is pretty simple to do, just remove the side cover behind the mobo tray and you can see pretty much where you'll need to drill your hole. Enjoy your new case and good luck with the modding.
