It's a 420 psu, 5 80 mm fans, well I had to add one more to it. My computer now stays at 28-30 celcius instead of the 55 celcius I had with my other case. I got all this for $110 it was a great deal.<BR><BR>Here's the pic<BR><a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://store6.yimg.com/I/svcompucycle_1739_5232742">PIC! WEEEEEEEEEEEEE</a>

looks just like my case. the only thing I don't like is if you replace the fans with something running 32-36cfm (those ones are only 30), the grills make a ton of noise. I've cut them out of one case and will be doing the same with the other.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> If you live in the US I recommend the LED lights from svc.com. Very low priced and work awesome. I've gotten both the blue LEDs and the UV LED ones.

Well, if I were you I'd start with the front of the case behind the bezel as that will cover any "mistakes" made while learning how to cut. I'm so glad I did it that way. LOL!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> Anyhow, I found that a dremel is the easiest tool to use with the cut-off wheels. Don't use the drill bit shaped cutting attachment as the case isn't flat and that thing likes to jump around. Be sure and do it away from the public as your neighbors will probably hate you by the time you are done making racket. LOL. After cutting the grills off I used a miniature file set to remove all the burrs, but Pimpin' Joe says that the drum sander on the dremel is easier to use and does a good job. In another week or so I will have a web cam and will take some close-ups for you to show exactly how it looked after. I did it so I can still put those brackets back in if I need to.<BR>BTW, do your fan grills sound like blowing on a coke bottle or what?
