Haha. I remember my old acrylic case. I traded cases with a friend for a while. I just couldn't take the brightness of the whole setup. So I moved on to my CM690.
That was my original build. Q66, 680i, 9600GT, 4GB OCZ...Good times, good times.
EDIT: It just reminds me of the days when I'd look at my rig and think: "I couldn't care less how it sounds or looks, I want fast! I'll never spend more than 100 on a case or color schemes!" My, how times have changed. I can't stand it when it's too loud or cables seem out of place or varicolored.
yeah that's the only problem with acrylic cases right there - plenty cool to look at, but even if you run all your cables neat behind the mobo tray and try your best to tidy it you can still see em. lol
