this is my 999th post which means this is my last post before i reveal the secret project with this account!

well the case is quite big inside. i think the photos speak for them selves. there is only one thing that keeps bugging me: there is no way to mount an IDE hard drive and a IDE DVD drive at the same time! the SATA drives go rotated by 90 degrees under the floppy drive slots. if you got a single IDE port on your mainboard and got an average IDE cable, you wont be able to plug the IDE cable to the DVD drive while also plugging it to the harddrive. there is no way to mount the 3.5 HDD in the 5.25 slots. ATM i have a 500GB Sata drive and a 300GB IDE drive. the IDE drive is now placed without any screws above the DVD drive. so moving around the case enforces being patient.

on the other hand there is a lot of cool stuff: i got 2 USB ports, headphone and microphone slots and a FW 400 port on top of the case. there are 2 case fans built in. one with LED lights which kind of pisses me off :D the sides open really smooth and you dont need any screwdrivers. you can mount all drives without screws. they got a nice system that works without!

i think i paid like 60-70 euro for the case.

the computer is running well but Vista is fucking bullshit. i have never seen such a piece of crap before. i cant even watch TV under vista because there are no BDA drives. so i had to set up a virtual PC in vista and run a cracked version of windows XP 32bit to use the old drivers. though the device is still plugged to windows vista and gets only forwarded to the virtual machine! ridicilous. yesterday all of a sudden my microphone didnt work. hard disk is active like 50% of the time in idle mode! serious: avoid vista as long as possible!
