Hey TST, I just wanted to share something with you. About 3 weeks ago I met Rik from these forums, we've been discussing modding and he's been helping me with my PC since, but on the 10th of December 2008, we achieved the impossible!
Me and him had a bet who could get this certain case first and fit it, and seeing as Rik won this competiton I didn't feel the need to get someone to fit it for my, I did it myself!
Me and Rik we're on MSN voice chat for a good 5 hours, helping me re-case my first ever PC 
I'm not too good with the inside computer part if that makes any sense, and for Rik to manage to help me get it working without being here, is a great achievement !
Therefore I dedicate this thread to the one and only RIK!
I thought I'd post some pictures of how well we did, the H.D.D lights and Reset Switch don't work as of yet, it was late and trying to work out where it went on my Motherboard was annoying.        
Sorry they ain't very good quality, had to use my Webcam
Take care

Welcome mate, I'm glad you decided to join up here on TST.
It was great fun doing a "remote assist" to fitting a pc into a new case.
We did have a fair few problems, but one by one we overcame them all.
When you are ready, i have the manual for your mobo and we can get the rest of the wiring sorted.

The green LED's in the PSU I haven't seen before

yeah, we've been looking at fitting the front panel display from my old PC on my new one, so should have plenty more modding updates soon :P
