Hehe...eBay...I do more selling than buying there. I've had a few bad experiences myself.

LOL I got my Antec Performance case for $10 with PSU. I live right by MWAVE and every once in a while they will have a parking lot sale. It was $10 because it was a scratch and dent case. the dent was in the back left corner that I fixed with pliers. I can't even see it now. Oh and I3OSS, I like having it on when I sleep. It lights my whole room red.

i3OSS,
Mwave has these parking lot sales once or twice a year. They post it on their site so it pays to check it regularly.

I'm not sure what you mean by baybus but if your talking about the fan controller it's a Vantec Nexus and you can get one off of newegg in silver or black. The only thing I don't like about it is that the knob lights don't dim or tun off at low settings. But it does help a lot for controlling that disturbing fan noise.

I used the game carton to make it . It looks harder than it sounds , one slip and your little project is ruined . One other thing was hard , it was making a picture only 102 KB . That picture started out like 724 KB in size . I took more pics of the whole system too . Check it out .

arg, no cam but my friend keeps forgetting to let me borrow it.

its a black alluminum chieftec full tower with a window, but the other side panel shakes when cdrom is working hard and is fairly annoying. and i got my gold Soltek mob in there, RED Ati 9500, ugly stock hsf, and wires bunched up right up at the top

Just got some pics of my first build. Let me know what you think.
The one of the inside doesn't have the blue light visible for clarity of the rest of the inside.
