Now that is a sweet looking rig XMS, the orbital sets it off a treat too. Total class

I can't believe how much room is in that Silverstone case

Negative, the case is painted and would most likely have cracked if i'd done it myself, so i sent it off to Kustom for them to do it (and they actually messed up the first one too!)

Very very tidy Jim. Very nice I like it

Nice and well organized. I really like the space in that case.

Cheers. The TJ05 is a nice spacious case, but i did find that the rad needed to be mounted at the top (and not much space left for PSU), with a set of fans on the outside, or the tubing had too much of a tight bend around the cdrom drive.

Ehhh no big deal. I don't know if you have any fiberglass experience or anything like that but you could make something to smooth out the look of the fans on top and I think that would look really good.

Funnily enuf i came across some liquid metal putty stuff in maplins the other day, i dont know if that would work but it sounded pretty cool.

I think it would look really nice if you did something to smooth those edges out. Don't know how much that liquid metal would add to the weight of the case or if it even matters but fiberglass is actually really easy to use and very light weight. I did the same thing on one of my old cases with a couple of fans on the top of the case like that and it turned out pretty nice.
