Eversince I first saw that case I have wanted someting like it on my desk too but cooling was troublesome until I decided it's time for me to sink my head into water... :D There's also some other small things I want to try so time will show what this will become. Hopefully master himself approves :) Oh, and fans are temporary. And don't mind the masking tape. :)

    Didn't have time to take proper pictures but hopefully this will do untill I can borrow proper camera. Only thing to add is the dust filters on the front. And of course redo cable management. Poor cable management is actually the reason why I wont post inside pictures yet :D But for those who are interested, case hides following setup: Intel i5 2500K Asus Maximus Gene-Z EVGA GTX570 Superclocked Corsair low profile Dominator memory, 8GB Corsair TX850 V2 psu (not modular, cable management is.... interesting :D) Samsung 1tb HDD
