All the specs on mine are on my PC page.
But for the short version:

Generic case modded with a clear window, two green LED fans, and a green cold cathode 12" tube added.
P4 2.4c GHz chip overclocked to 3.12 with low temps
512 PC3200 RAM
ATI 9600 Pro
Sound Blaster Live 5.1
Asus P4P800 mobo, very good for overclocking.

When I get back to Boeing, the contents of this PC are going into a black Chembro case.
http://images10.newegg.com/productim...123-071-01.JPG

I will upgrade the CPU to a 3.0 or higher, add a Creative Audigy2 ZS soundcard, and an ATI X800 XT video card, or the newer X850 which sports 3 video outputs.
I regular, and 2 DVIs to run dual 19" LCD screens.

A few pics of my case.

Wait until you see that black Chembro case modded out.

I can not decide though if I want blue or green LED fans, and a matching cold cathode tube.

I stopped modding my cases when I bought my truck...

Though I never stuck lights or any of that crap in my cases, too ricey.

My old system was all black with a custom airbrushing of water drops (by me), a couple die-cut decals bearing 'Scofco' on them, liquid-cooling, LCD's with temp and fan speed, and switches for the fans in the front.

Now that's badass

Now for watercooling if I ever go that route, this product is cool.

I like LEDs and cathode tubes in the case, it gives the room a nice glow at night.

It's should be pretty easy... one good look around your current case and you'll see. Getting everything in has a potential of being a bit of a hassle if you're not too familiar with how it should all be wired together.

That is one reason I have decided not to get the Thermaltake Tsunami case I was looking at.
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f98/thermaltake-tsunami-aluminum-case-47833/

I like windows on a case, but that window is a little to funky for me.
That is why I have decided to look at the Chembo Gaming Bomb case instead as shown later in that post.

It is more business like, but built with the gamer in mind who wants a window to show off the internals, and have good quality at the same time.

Now if only the price would drop on that case...
