also replaced the front 200 fan wih a couple of corsair SP 120's and moved the dust filter behind the fans. looks better. i accidentally fired an airsoft pellet into the front panel. lol. not hard to fix though. i'll get to it when i can. =)

I like this black build, the name Kuro suits it well! I only knew that Kuro was Japanese for black due to my telly going by the same name :).
 
it's funny how there were a billion versions of KURO before i decided to "call it a day." well, i guess i operate differently than others. reason being is, i only have ONE pc.. and i need it everyday.. so i mod it, as i use it.

I would like to thank sponsors

COOLER MASTER, Raymen Wu and Wu Michelle for helping me get this project going. I have always prefered Cooler Master products, and it was such an honor to be sponsored by them.

Icemodz.com, Mundi Valur and Kasper Kragh. not only are they my sponsors, they are also very, VERY good friends of mine from half way across the world.

Dirty South PC's Nick Blackwell. this guy, behind the lines supported me with this project by helping me get better stuff to work with. also a very good friend of mine.

My deepest, and most sincere gratitude goes out to everyone responsible for helping me with this build. ive said this before, and i will say it again..

Even if i thanked you a million times everyday for the rest of my life, it would never be enough. so i'll say it 4 million times instead.

Thank you ALL,
