The FT02-WRI transplant

Picked up the FT02-WRI off WorldTraveler (great guy, good seller, and this is the second case I've gotten off him), and have spent the past day switching over my system from it's old Lian Li V600 (small and light case which was nice for LAN's and stuff but not enough room). Here are the before pics in the v600:

And the new FT02-WRI

I have a lot of work I'm in the planning phases of doing based off some other peoples FT02 work. Haven't figured everything out though, but one thing is for sure... I'm going to redo the cabling because I'm not happy with that rats nest back there.

Update: Redid the wiring and have done work on it since. Next up is some custom sleeving work (with some MDPC-x) and shortening some wires. Here is how it currently looks though:

I kind of miss my FT02. It was a great case - great cooling, good cable management, decent looks, etc. It was just too damn long. I actually "upgraded" to an FT01-BW when I found one at a local Micro Center for $60. 😉

I'm fairly happy with my PC-V1020 now, though I still do have a few minor gripes.

Haha that was actually the first case I picked up from WorldTraveler. I liked it for a lot of reasons, but there are definite issues I had with it. What issues do you have with it?
