Thats really cool. It's nice to see how much attention to detail the builder had. Notice that he took care not even to scratch the bolts when screwing them in!

The first thought that popped into my head when I saw this case was "alien life-support machine".

:stares in complete awe:

the attention to detail in that case is, as far as I'm concerned, unparalleled.

I remember seeing this mod in some of the earlier stages and was truly blown away then. Glad to see it's finally completed.

Wow.

And that was his first project!?! What's he gonna do for an encore?

It does look a little busy with all those shower hoses, but when you've got a clear case, and a lot of drives and such, there's only so much hiding you can do I guess.

I'm usaully not a fan of acrylic cases, but this one is by far one of the best mods I've seen.

Yeah. Usually with clear cases, that's all a mod features. A clear case and nothing special with the insides. This modder want to actually use the clear case to his advantage, which he did quite admirably.
