My Antec Lanboy

[smatts]

I know some people hate pre-mods, I used to myself, but when I was looking for a new case, the lanboy fit my needs: small, light, quality power supply. It looks a lot cooler in person! (doesn't everyone say that??) Sorry if the pics are a bit poor, the camera I was using is on the way out :P The specs are in my sig.

Mods include: New front intake, 3 switch fanbus, *clean* wiring.
Lighting provided by: 3 x cooler master neon led fans (2 blue, 1 orange), Smartblue power supply
Video card bolt-ons: Arctic Cooler VGA Silencer, OCZ Ramsinks

Here it is from the outside, with the lights on.

CLEAN WIRING AHEAD!
The see through cable that is snaking from the sound card past the video card and off to the right is actually hiding the digital audio cable from my dvd rom, the video card power cable, and also concealing the "line out" on my aiw card to the "aux in" on my sound card.

The black cable on the bottom is hiding the fron usb header cables and the blue cable beside that is the front leds/switches.

I am thinking of maybe moving to a matched set of sleeving/heatshrink in the future.

Please post comments / questions, all hatemail can be directed to abuse@aol.com thx ;)

That fan in the front looks awesome and it probably helps those case temps a lot especially for a lanboy. Your wiring looks pretty clean also.:cool:

In the dark it looks crazy good and yes it did reduce both my case temps and my cpu temps by a few degrees, I kept the path to the inside clear (see pics)

A lot of fresh air is passing over my ram and cpu now :)

there is nothing wrong with premods. Some people don't have the time to go cutting holes and painting their cases. Buying a premodded case is alot more logical for some people.

that's a damn fine case. I really like the rockstar games sticker on the inside of the door that swings over the cd drives. never thought of that. Use more stickers!
