I turned 22 today, and feel like showing off my gift (and much needed case) that I got from my good friend John
I know there was someone else on the forum that had my B-Day (i think it was Jon) anyway, happy b-day to you (whoever you are!!!)
Anyway, I only have 2 pics, and they are crappy (sorry, i had to use a webcam, as my Regular digital cam is needing a new Flash card 
)
This is my new case. if you want to see more, go here to this node
This is the second pic:
It took me about 30 minutes to get the stuff transfered from the old case to this one. But I *LOVE* this case. Also, it's like a wind tunnel (in air) and I love the *WHOOSHING* sound it makes when running. To me, it means that it is so powerful, it requires serious cooling. Also, if you put your hand up to the front, it sucks air in at a REALLY fast rate, and you can feel it 
Is that one of the cases where the mobo is mounted on the other side of the case? if so does it have that plastic air guide inside that moves air over the CPU? thats a nice looking case too!
Happy Birthday Bud!!!
dude, the case is sweet!!!! wat are the specs on the compouter inside?
It may not be much for some people, but it still is a vast improvement over my last pc
(which was an AMD K6-2 450MHz)
I really take pride in the machine, because it was the first computer that I put with no one's help at all that was mine
It seems pretty fast. Much faster than my iBook when it comes to doing video. I also love the space it has (1.1TB Hard drive space) from various hard drives in the system.
All in all, I am much happier with it in this new system
It's mounted on the normal side of the case (on the right if you are looking at the front of it
It does have an air hood, which allows air to get to the outside very easily So it cools the processor much more effectively. I noticed a 5 deg. C drop over the last case (which was an oven)
Thanks, and thank you

It's a nice case. It's the silver one (and look DANG sexy)
It's got a slide-lock system, making it toolless on the 3.5/5.25" Bays. Also, the PCI/AGP Slots don't need Screws. it has a thing that folds down and snaps the card into place. People on NewEgg were saying how bad the instructions are when you get it, and BOY do they mean it. so if you get one, you gotta free-wing it. but then again, if you are experienced with building machines, it shouldn't be *TOO* hard.
Anyway, it doesn't have a window, but that's fine. I can always source one.
This one didn't come with a PSU, but that is ok, i have a 500Watt of my own (Allied brand)
Happy Birthday! And, yes we do share the same day. I'm 28 today. My best present so far is a nice gas grill. 3 separate sections of flame control, and a side mounted burner for pans, etc. Flame on!
I got my PC upgrade (for myself) for Christmas, a 2.8GHz HT P4 that I had to buy a mobo and cooler for. I recycled a case and DVD burner. I did buy a used 40GB Seagate 'cuda, as it still has a warranty until 2010...
Congrats, and grills are always nice on those cool summer days. I use mine quite a bit, and nothing tastes as good as grilled meat/veggies.
because I went cheap. my shortest lasting PSU was about 2 months, but it flamed out on me when the inside exploded 
Also,nice score on the P4. I wish my system has HT :(. But still, i plan on keeping my system a few more years, just going to do small upgrades.
I built the system back in 2004, and have never felt happier about it. I have only had to RMA 2 Upgrades (out of the 14 or so that I have done to that) and the original components (CPU/Board/RAM) have never had to replace them. Then again, since when does one have to RMA a processor these days within 2 years?
Of course, i have had my share of Power Supply failures (i had a 200 and a 350watt in there
Well, the new 500Watt PSU fixed that
It's supposed to run good at 87% max load continuously. Which will be nice when I do upgrades
Happy Birthday
