    I used to have a compaq SFF that I modded.

    I have got to say that I find desktop cases like that really restrictive. I think it must just be the layout inside or something.
    heh, I don't know.

    That one does look good though.

    That looks extremely nice. Looks a bit like an LG VCR though.
