how mean!

Custom Cooler Master Elite 340

Dremeled out puny 80mm hole and made it a 120mm. Heres a better look at the side.

Also dremeled out the back fan to get rid of the stupid honeycomb stuff. I love that plastic edging, really cleans up the look.

Heres a shot of the whole back.

WHAT! NO WAY! Yes, yes way. Thats a GeminII in a elite 340. How did i do it you ask?

Well, it took a little bit of cutting and a little rubber edging to make it purty. Since had to cut up the 3.5 bays as you can see, i had to install the 500gb hard drive to the front of the case.

Ive got 4 kaze-jyuni 110cfm fans in this case all set to silent and im lovin it! What should I do next/fix?

EDIT:
I went ahead and moved the hdd to the bottom and i have to say, much quiter now. Heres updated pics.

Here is another one of my old custom rigs.

Those are some pretty nice specs you have there. The only thing that would bother me is the led's. I cant have lights other than the monitor on. Now if you can turn off your led's then that would be amazing. Seeing your specs makes me want to build a i7 rig

I had to install a rocker switch in one of the floppy bays, unfortunately, the wire I set to ground came loose and hit one of my hard drives and shorted it out. I could fix it if I had time, but at this point its not important.

And the i7's Make me want to build an i7 System.

Wow, so I just priced an upgrade to I7. All you really need for the upgrade is the cpu, memory, and motherboard. For a i7 920, Asus p6t, and Corsair DDR3-1600, the price comes to $939.96 plus shipping . WOW. I mean, I know the price will come down but wow.

Actually, You could pick it up for a little cheaper than that. The lowest I've got was around $700.

Theres my problem, I didnt go to the egg. Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot....

Well, I also forgot about a psu. i7 uses a 8pin cpu power cable, not the standard 4 pin.

An adapter would probably be a better solution. On the P6t mother boards, (asus in particular), it looks like it's still supporting the 4 pin connection, but the X58's are all 8 Pin. The Ultra X2 already has a slot for an 8 Pin EPS connection, so im set as far as that goes.
