boogieboy,
That's a sweet rig and I love that huge side window. You've got to have some great components and cable management with that much glass on the side......that's why my window is so small. Attachment 229348 Thanks Alan and oh well the downside of my case that it does'nt have any hidden cable management and as im using GX-550w it has long cables and it was really hard for me to hide most of the cables on the other side of the case but still they are visible when case is opened but in clean way lol
@ paulstung
that's a nice first setup mate and big congrats  i wanted to get same Elite 431 as well but i was a bit short on cash and i also thought as im still on LGA775 so i'll save money for the later as hopefully i'll be heading for Core i5 or i7 3rd Gen in the Q1 of 2013 so for now that's enough for my LGA775 setup and all the components except CPU/MOBO will jump in the new case
