I like the case! The specs look good (judging from my limited computer knowledge!)

I really like the case too :D I was actually going for another one (this was second choice) but ebuyer discontinued it :P

This one is supposed to be based on military and stealth weapons. Ill get some nicer pictures of everything once complete with screen etc :)

EDIT: I forgot to put the stickers on aswell, so I probably won't get to put my little stickers saying stuff like 'Intel Quad Core Inside' :( :D

lmao I did the same rofl, I thought that I would put my DVD drive up flush with the inside metal frame but it actually has to come out about a cm to an inch
And the stickers? They go on the outside case dont they? I put mine on the side of the case.

EDIT: more photos plz :D

Yep happened to me :P

And yeh they do go on the outside but I forgot to put them on (and think I have got rid of them >:{)

Static mat really isn't needed, the packaging for the mobo will be anti-static and sufficient. After spending a week work experience repairing computers you quickly learn that all the "omg static" stuff is really exaggerated, just be sensible and 'earth' yourself occasionally and rest the motherboard on the anti-static packaging.

Yeah, but it probably makes him feel better. Understandable.

I mainly got the AntiStatic mat for building. Stops any dirt or dust getting on the components from the carpet.

I have no intention of having it when I put it on the shelf on my desk!

You shouldn't build off a carpet. Ideally a table, or even a bed does the trick.

Should have got a modular PSU, put that Intel HSF the right way up and do some cable management mr!!
