Love it!!

Not many options for cable management though

Heh, indeed. Initially I used a non-modular PSU... quickly realised that was a mistake!

Looking back on it, wish I'd added some UV braids to the cables. Maybe I should try and persuade my friend it's time for an upgrade.

100% custom made MDF

Well done for the effort, but I have to say... That is the ugliest thing I ever saw!

Lucky for us Corsair does not employ you sir. lol

I would not use that case even if you paid me!

I'd say its designed to be functional and it looks to me like it does that very well!

No doubt it does. That is why I did say good effort. I was not referring to the functionality however

Though I'd share a few pics of my updated rig . I have changed the case from a Lian li pc7fn to a Silverstone Raven rv-03 ,Motherboard from an Asus p8z77-lx to a Z77 MPower , And the Silver arrow cooler . Along with Some cable extensions , NZXT led strips , a couple of Noctua nfp12's and an NZXT sentry mix 6 channel fan controller .
I must say I love the case , as I'm not brave enough to go down the water cooling route as yet , it was an easy choice for great air cooling . With the 2 180mm in the bottom 120mm rear and top exhaust , 3 140mm on the cooler , and a pair of 120mm up front , my temps are great .
Here are a few pics .

Hi blitzyuk. I'm thinking of doing the same as you. I've had my Antec 300 for 18 months now and I think it's time for a chance. I've identified the Antec 1100 as my replacement. I'm drawn to it because of its larger dimensions.

Why did you make the move and what do you think of the Antec 1100? I do like the Antec 300, it is a very solid case but I think the extra space, especially width-wise, of the Antec 1100 will help me out.

Great little case that mrbios, shame the window is only for half the panel

phantom 630

So after having problems with my Raven rv-03 it has to be rma'd . So I bought myself an NZXT Phantom 630 in matte black . Si I've spent the day stripping down the Raven , and putting it all back in the Phantom . Along with the case , I treated myself to a XXX XFX Extreme 750w 80% silver psu , and a Creative sound blaster recon 3d soundcard .

I'm chuffed to bits with the outcome , what a lovely case to work with loads of room for cables . It turned out nice and neat and tidy . I need to save some pennies now for a full water loop and a new gpu . I would have almost been there but 2 weeks ago my mobo failed and now the case problem , so it has set me back a bit . Never mind the board was on the cards for upgrade at some point , it just came a bit sooner than expected .

Sorry for pic sizes , I resized them in photobucket and edited the post 3 times some would some wouldn't .

I looking for a Mouse Mat and I love those Boogie Bugs but cannot seem to find one?
Anyone know where they are available?

Nice improvement but that cable management.... OMG

Sooo similar to mine lol
I keep saying to myself, I'll sort it out but nothing ever happens.
TIP:
First time builders, make sure your cable management is good before finishing as you will never come back to it!!! xD

Well i actually came back to mine and have changed cable management about 4 times. (Partly because i still have running issues and taking parts out and change them) Its not that important, but.... I like clean and tidy things

This is how My looks. Left side NOW: Right side BEFORE:

Finally ready!

Hey all,

So built my new machine over the last month and this month (couldn't buy it all in one go), and finally finished it yesterday.

Went from this:

(Asus m4a87TD, Phenom II B45 in a CM690II Advanced) Awful cable management if you need as many cables as I do.

To this:

Specs in sig. Oh, and forgive the USB stick lol.
