I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like that case. Anyone know if it's available without the side window?

I like that case too. All other pics make it look pretty ugly. But in these I actually see it in all its glory. Ugh... Its soooo ugly in all other pics. BTW... You might wanna clean up in there. It's lookin a little cable crazy if you wanna call it that. A clean wiring job can make a case look that much more bad @$$.

quasmo, yeah i will be ordering round ide & floppy cables to clean up the interior, i just wanted to see if everything worked, upon doing that i will try to apply a little logic to what goes where with the wires. i'll clean up the wiring soon, i have the zip ties. i just don't want to commit untill everything is installed (i still have a 160gig ide drive and i will be getting the 16x nec 3510 burner). probably the reason the case looks so good is because it is a nice looking case and i took the pictures with a nikon d70 digital slr.

SonicIce, i like the case it's light but feels a little on the flimsy side to me (the door is solid though). since i will not be moving it around much it's ok.

MDE, the case also comes without a sidewindow. i would have actually bought that one but the psu already had lights and the case with the window includes a fan that blows directly on the agp card and cpu. i had the pc running prime95 (stressing the system for 24 hours) and the cpu was 30 degrees and the mobo was 31.

You've got to be sh!tting me. I hope you are either taking that ugly ass beige floppy drive out, or you're painting it black. Other than that, it's nice.
