looking good inside - i like case with a tidy wiring scheme!

stealthing those cd drive bezels would be good, beige and silver dont really go together, but otherwise very nice

A bit off topic here, but what sennheiser headphones are they on top of your case? and whats the sound quality like? cheers

 

[SAS91]

Yeah...im trying to pluck up the courage to stealth the drives..cause obviously i dont want to do it wrong

O and the headset Sennheiser PC150, Mic is good quality...comfy to wear and the sound quality is awesome blew me away after changing from some £20 argos set

 

[Vrykyl]

yeah, stealthing may seem daunting, as obviously youve gotta get it right 1st time or you need new bezels, but its definately worth it - the results can look amazing!

PC150's eh? those are the exact model im looking at picking up, i really want a nice set of stereo headphones (im sorry 5.1 headphones just aint my thing) with awesome sound quality for music/movies and a decent mic for multiplay gaming...shame they cost so darn much tho....my only other option is a nice set of sennheisers and do without a mic, or maybe buy a zalman clip on mic thingy..?

hehe well i just found i need a new power supply(Im gonna get pre-braided this time) since this one isnt giving me AmPaGe but need to wait for my bday before i will have enough money i only have £40 now and thats for the Diamondback SE.

Regarding the PC150, i didnt really get the buzz of 5.1 headfones(Being massive and all). You say you want sound quality for music and movies? And a Mic for online gaming? Well im afraid u cant go far wrong with the PC150s then, they really blew me away and ill certainly be buying sennheiser cans again

 

[Vrykyl]

how goes progress with bezel stealthing? have you given it anymore thought?

I just saw those SE razor mice, damn blue mice look cool! replacing my mx700 aint gonna happen any time soon tho...

About the sennheiser pc150's - i hope your right mate, iv just bought a brand new set for £30, theyl be here in a few days, theyd better be as good as I hope!

 

[SAS91]

Yep ive reconsidered the drive stealthing, now i need a dremel and a good guide to complete the mod

I paid £50 for my PC150s so im sure you wont be disapointed !

 

[SAS91]

Minor update, the power supply i purchased from maverick is now installed! It was rushed however since i have a clan match v.soon Ill go back reformat and sort everything out as soon as i get a decent CPU cooler

well here it is :

 

[SAS91]

OK final update for a while now (even if no one has looked at my thread ) until i get my Evo 33 Akasa thingy as recommended my mav :

fully tidyed cables, ill think u'll agree it looks better. It looks cluttered because the PSU has so many wires but i did my best and no air intakes / outakes are blocked and everything is working 100%

well here it is :

Comments welcome, infact just look at the thread and ill be happy.
