your bottom 120 mm fan isn't dust filtered?

[grpace]

@acogscopepwn It was used a pantyhose.

Your mods are great ideas but you rllly need experience with power tools because those cuts look terrible. Im sure if you had professional help with this it would look simply spectacular.

[grpace]

@Technophile3430 Agreed, I'd say ive improved alot since I've started here. If you see some of my more recent videos the cuts are much, cleaner on the newer builds.

Hey! Nice mods. The job you did on the fan hole in the bottom is good.. It's hard to cut it perfrectly round. Just a question on your GTX 285. How does it perform? I have an HD 4890, and it was apparently supposed to compete with the 285 but I highly doubt it's close in performance.

[grpace]

I actually have the 5870 now but the gtx 285 performs a bit better than the 4890.

The 4890 is on par with the gtx 275.

Definitely dont update your 4890 to a gtx 285. Not worth it

The tempest evo just came out, im gonna get that it looks awesomes

[saginawjuggalo]

I know you said the PSU overcut doesn't bother you but incase does, maybe you should think about covering that hole with some sound damping material such as foam. Just an idea :-)

[behangman]

Dude, you have just ruined a very nice case

[Technophile3430]

@grpace no i havent actually but ill go check them out.

[crissglitch666]

@grpace imo ATI fails big time with the 4890. How good is that 5870? Was thinking of that, or GTX 480 when it comes out.
