The Fridge I got my card reader to work again, but now my SSDs are dead!
Anyway, here are some pics of my new case.
Huge improvement over the old one. It is much bigger, much quieter, looks a lot nicer and my temps dropped 3C.
I should have gotten this one to start with, there wasn't even a significant price difference...
On the other hand, now that I have a spare case I can start thinking about a new build! Maybe for my nephew who finished junior high. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU AMD FX 8320 4.8GHz, 1.475V Motherboard ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z Memory 4 x GSkill Ripjaws Z 4GB 1600 CL8 Graphics Card 2 x ASUS HD7870 2GB DirectCu II Sound Card M-Audio Firewire 410 Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Samsung Syncmaster SA300 Screen Resolution 1600x900 Keyboard Corsair Vengeance 650 Mouse Elephant Leviathan 3200 DPI PSU Corsair TX850M Case NZXT Switch 810 Cooling Custom Water.

It is my first build, just moved it to a new case. Took me the best part of 15 hours to get it to look somewhat right. 
Luckily my SSDs are back on-line! I'm so happy I kept a bootable partition on my spinners.

Paul, Britton, Ganjiry,
Thank you for you comments.
I really enjoyed myself doing it, but now I need to put it to rest for a while and actually use the rig!
@Britton. It really does look like an "Imperial Storm Trooper" case! You should have seen the black one, it absolutely looked like the "Third Stage Guild Navigator pod" from Dune, but the "piano gloss" finish was a fingerprint magnet, so I went white.
The fans with blue fins are: cpu cooler, DeepCool UF 140; HDD cage, DeepCool UF 140X. They are really nice and quiet. The frames are covered in some kind of rubber they call "TPE rubber" which makes them vibration free. Not Noctuas but the closest I can get down here.
I think that in the US some DeepCool models are marketed under the brand LogiSys.
Cheers and happy new year!
