Thought I would post my progress on upgrading my case. I upgraded it to an SLI mobo and added another 8800GT. I plan on adding GPU coolers and overclocking the CPU and GPU's, and maybe some other mods.



Thread will be updated with pictures, plans, and other stuff.

Alright, I fixed the system up a bit since I upgraded it, still needs some time and work put into it.

This is what I did earlier today, added cathodes, changed the thumbscrews, and added an Antec non LED 92mm fan:

Added new casters when I upgraded the mobo and gpu, they use to be the smaller black plastic type.

Stock thumbscrews.

I did the green and blue contrast purposely, I thought it would look nice, and it does.

I plan on managing the wires better, got to check the mobo or something, cause the SATA cables aren't clicking into the mobo, but they are on the drives. I also need to get two coolers for the GPU's and a UV 92mm fan for the CPU and getting a blue LED 120mm and a green LED 120mm intake fan.

Awesome looking computer man! Gotta say I love the SLI setup. I also like how you changed things up and used blue/green lights. That is also one of my favorite cases :P.
 
Thanks, I know, they look great.

I am physced to get two front 120mm fans, blue and green LED ones.


I am going to dedicate a whole day this week to manage the wires, make them as best as possible, so..





Thanks.

The board is great so far, only problem that I can see being an issue is the Mobo Sata ports, which can be fixed with some wire management. SLIing is great, I have to buy some GPU coolers to cool them, to have them volt modded, and I plan on overclocking the Processor, so.


Here's what I plan on buying:

Haven't noticed much of a difference, got to overclock the processor first.


Pictures and updates will be posted soon.


Probably going to order the stuff posted above tomorrow.
 
Yeah, lol.

I might do some cable management later tonight, get everything is place and stuff for when the stuff arrives.
 
Well the stuff is heading to Des Moines, IA, the state next to me, and it should hopefully be here by tomorrow, but I don't know.
