Why does this seem sexual....I love hard drives and I can admit it.

I really like this case but maybe doing some stuff to the outside to spruce it up a bit. I am completely amazed at how fast and smooth this setup is. Surfing the net is like opening folder from the hard drive. Dvd ripping is about 20X faster than my other rig too. I love using this computer, I just wish it was more gamable<---new word.
As far as noise this thing sounds about like a low speed ceiling fan, and I can live with that. I didnt expect it to be completely silent. The original cpu fans sounded like mating Hyenas so the new ones made all the difference. I also love this case, but it is a heavy beast now.
 
Hah, I can see the 2320 in the first pic :p Looking good - can I see more pics of the insides?

 
wow, that looks really familiar.
Went dual core over dual socket, , and 4 300GB drives rather than 6 drives, but P180, highpoint 2320, nVidia GPU, multi-core athlons...

Enjoy it man.
 
I would love dual core, but got a good deal on the board and cpus from a [H]ard member<---- that sounds real bad.

Ya that controller card in the first pic was the wrong one, but Newegg was awesome and sent a replacement that I recieved the next day. Shipping in less than 24hrs is amazing.

What else would you like pics of? I really wanted to have some etch work done to the side panels but cant really find any place that will work with me. I would just go with some etched vinyl but I suck a photoshop and I want custom art done.
 
More angle shots, basically - up into the top of the case, looking right into the drive bays. I dunno - more pics are better ;)
