cool, you got it from ncix.com? shipped to you, or did you go pick it up. Ncix is actually like 20 minute drive from my hut. I bought a few things from them before in person, didn't like their service in person, real crappy attitudes. I got mine from anitec.ca, I only liked this case because the 2 lights at front were quite unique I thought. My case is made by some manufacturer called ACT, but I think they are same as Ngear... We should have a picture post festival or sumthin on pcstats, haha...post your comp pics, =)

FTO, i did buy mine at NCIX, i ordered online since I live in Ontario and I dont think I want to travel halfway across the country to pick up something when its quicker to ship. lol. Last night I took a pic of the inside of my messy wired case, Ill post it up in a few days (when it gets developed), NCIX customer support is bad, i think. THey seem like they dont care on how happy we as customers are with there products, there just in it for the money - but that could maybe have been the person that i dealt with

LOL FTO, those rounded cables are awesome. You can get them on svc.com for about $3.50 (depends on the length). I know last night they had 18" yellow ones for only $0.99 in the <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://svc.com/blowout.html">blowout bin</a>. Looks like black and blue ones are $2.50 and $2.19. I spent $12.50 locally for those darn things!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Got my silver braided ones here though!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> They even have UV sensitive ones (same price!) if you want a UV cathode.

Cool, I know my local comp store carries some rounded cables, but I was too cheap to get them...=) Maybe, I'll grab some when I get new speakers or a new monitor, and a cold cathode light

Works well...

lol for opening the drives since it is just tape it gives in a little if you push the corner, sooooo thats all, just push the corner and the drive opens(if the button is too far back just stick some thing o the drive cover where the button is placed si when you push the corner it reaches the button) I would havce done it but my case covers are curved so i had to cut of the edges on the side so it could slide in and out freely and in the process i broke it in half(since its cheap plastic) its ok though cuz my drive color is pretty close and my friend might be getting the same case (f***ing copycat) so ill just get a cover from him.-
