Nicely done.
I don't like the Tsunami (personal taste), but you've made something decent out of it.
Two suggestion:
-Paint the green pci-slot clips, hdd tray and 3,5inch tray another color like black.
-Improve the cable management.

Looks good. nice paint job. But I agree with ownage improving the cable management would really improve the look of your build. If you drill some holes in the back of your mobo tray and route all the cables through the holes it would look much better, thats what I did with my Tsunami and I think it turned out pretty good.

You've actually made that case looks pretty good. I would remove that PCI slot clip thing if I were you since the case looks much better without it.

I really like the window. That looks greatfinished the hdd window can see the raptor x in action
looking for suggestion to make system quieter.
Case fan now are stock...considering the following:
replacement for front intake & rear exhaust 120mm: quiet but good airflow
replacement aftermarket for my eVGA 7900 256MB GT to keep it cool and quiet
help find rattling sound
will do better cable management once upgrade is made
relevant specs:
Asus A8N Delx
Athlon 64 3800+ + ZALMAN CNPS 7500
advance thanks
