Cooler Master Centurion 5

The case is relatively inexpensive, and strong. I sat on it a few times while waiting for the lift in the mall.

As I mentioned before, this case isn't the best for cable management, difficult to get cable from the 5" bay area down to the video cards and HDD without going back out exposed in the case.

Didn't spend too much time with the cables since I'll be switching the PSU this week.

It's also a bit 'light' on the cooling side, with only two chassis fans. I bought this about a month ago so I'm not sure it's ready to be replaced. =/

wats that carpet-ish thingy at d bottom? whered u get that.. looks good for noise management..

Yep, that's why I put it in there. Noticeable difference, but noise is still leaking out the front mesh grills (nothing I can do about that).

I actually wanted a piece of dark black foam, but I couldn't find anything. This ended up working better as its heavy and thick - I just hope it's electrostatically inert, or the case itself will help in that.

brilliant idea there. anyways, u might wanna move ur hdd 1 slot higher.. cos that looks pretty close to d bottom, toughing d carpet thingy. gonna get pretty hot down there.. just my 2 cents.

Actually, I moved it low because theres a 80mm fan right in front - if I move it up one or two slots, it will block the flow to the dual video card setup.
It's a problem, because the case doesn't have enough flow for ventilation, so I have to compromise the setup.

I'm really starting to think I have to ditch the case and get a new one - sucks because I just bought it about 4 weeks ago. =(

Wah, that case is HUGE! IMO, without liquid cooling and numerous drives - there's no need for such monstrousity.
I mean, look how big the gap is above the mobo - wasted space.

Still, you have a nice setup, I can't argue against that - but with the money, maybe a nice Lian Li or Silverstone case would have done the job *ducks*.

I like the HP monitor.
