I think it was the embarrassment of the pink controller! lol,

red does look wicked! minus the ring, it sucks to have that i nearly put it out the window!

[Psycho18]

doesn't any mod to the box affect the warranty though?

Might be worth getting some extra vents in there to aid cooling?

[Clouds_mate]

[Modified]

I did the matt-black one the wrong way around, layed it out and sprayed it all, then went around the "ring of light..etc" with a fine point taking off any over spray that went on there.

Ste, the bodge king.

In regards to the fans, I bought the proper fitment ones that sit infront of the CPU heatsink and to the right, sharing the power from the DVD-Drive .. Noisey as fuck so I took them off.

Im going to be soldering a 3 point connection onto the motherboard to power the fan as not to "steal" anything from the dvd drive :)

[Mikey]

mines covered in stickers.

looks okay i guess.
