    I was thinking Panda fur, that way it somewhat matches the anodizing.

    Either that or lion mane. You'll have to catch the lion yourself though.

    I was thinking about these "nothing is too good for my MM case" thoughts as I was drilling some holes in it yesterday...

    I do appreciate the looks, and I'm going to do some nice things to the case, but for things that are out of sight, or fit the need of practicality (drilled holes), then I do what's needed for the task at hand. I like the looks, but the biggest thing I think of with the MM case is just a huge amount of practicality. Need more cooling say for 2 cpu's a year or two down the line? Add it, the MM case can fit a larger mobo, or more rads with ease. There is ROOM, outright clear space to work in, to drop in some new hardrives if you choose down the line. And unlike many MM case builders I don't want to fill all that empty space. I prefer to have space to fit things later, to add or change things around later all within this same case.

    So no $100 bills for me. I like the looks yes, but the practicality is king for me.

    Anemone,

    I need to come up to Boston and bring you a couple of Sam Adams.

    Part of having fun is being silly

    IanY that'd be great to do someday. Sorry if I mistook the silly factor - was a bit tired this morning after doing Dad duty with my 16 month old early am.

    I have to ask, does anyone look at this case and just think of the options that are available down the road? With most cases you are often going "well if I wanted to put xxx in, I'd probably have to move that, rewire that and maybe stick it over in that space right there". With MM, you just look at what you want and decide what wall or floor to attach it to, end of problem. I don't want to exaggerate, but you could a reasonably sized phase system in the Ascension, 2 1.2+kw psu's, and who knows what else.

    Just love it.

    Thats what I did...was modding fans anyway...

    just another couple inches of wire, two solder points and some heatshrink each. Much easier than picking up the phone and requesting new switches and led's.

    @Astratuner
    All of the stuff I mentioned is minor. Hell, just think of the mods you have to do on a 343B to get a triple loop up and running. If case modding and modding in general is not your cup of tea, you might be in for a world of hurt and disappointment getting into WC'ing in the first place.

    Anemone,

    I fully understand the Dad duty thing. I have a 40 month old myself, and he's still doing the diaper thing, except with an attitude problem.

    I wished I saw things the same way you do with MM. I find space to be a premium, and I find it kind of annoying. But most of it is me and my dumb ass ideas.

    Regards.

    haha just gave me an image of my son crawling inside the empty case and making it his "fort"

    And yes, EVEN with the MM, it is very easy to "spend" the space you have. Sounds like you are heading towards building a "room" to house a pc, lol!

    I'm looking at those 6 fan holes with thermochill spacing going I've got one PA120.3 which i'd mount on the back, but id't be such a shame not to fill the front 3 holes too... Heck, i then i could run dual loops easy, there's room for anything down there!
