Hello all, I just completed putting together a dual-boot Windows xp/Windows 7 system. I wanted to go for the brushed metal style on the pc and then beige for the rest of the peripherals. Let me know what you think! ...and yes it can run Crysis

I found the hard drive bay on ebay in original packaging from 15 years ago for like $40. Im currently in my data hoarding phase so that is coming in handy. I have room to install a DVD drive in the 5.25" bay above that but having trouble finding a cheap beige SATA one. Since I have the 360mm aio I can't use the top bay but I have no need for it anyway - but there is room for a thin display that could maybe show my temps, etc.
