What oh Yes . From target . Have you ever just where shopping and looked to see something and think "that make a cool case for a PC.  It happened lol. I was so surprised to see a product at a target that was made with thick strong steel. with casters. Got some posts for the mother bord cut back of old case for the video cards to lock down on drilled some holes and enclosed it with plexy glass.

    love the concept ! maybe some acrylic doors? cool stencil work in contrasting colors on interior? but all in all great !! that mask would be sweet suspended off in the back or corner kinda like a kabuki assasin

    Is there any way to do a bit of cable management? Other than that it's a cool idea. Lots of room if you decided to water cool.

    Yes I am considering a much better power and cord management   I have to wait a bit for water cooling I have reached max fund limit. I depend a lot on donations and PC tech requests from the area.. I put aside 50 a month for upgrades. This year was fair good to me.  I still use a lot of tech I had when I was Working live auction IT in Hollywood. Bit I do like the Idea of trying a water cool system. Space in the case is not an issue here lol power leds and on + reset will be drilled out and installed . A USB inputs will be installed also. I Have a couple of Blu-Rays Writers too. But what makes it clean I think is how every thing is installed. making wires traffic under and over so never in the way.
     
    But I did use it to get a very cool 3d printer. I can maybe print some parts out with it  just a few days ago I got it. But I haven't used it yet.

    LOL WHY ? I would have if it where from there. Its the case . I would have got no matter where it was from. Its 1/8 stainless steel painted with a great teal color w/ industrial casters (wheels) The quality is very good. I used High quality Plex Glass from Ace  8x4 1/8 inch  scratch resistant and plastic colored sheets over some insolated foam wallboard to absorb the sound to make the case silent. No sound that is audible is heard. polished chrome for glass shower doors to hold the Plex in place. Its not cheap stuff I have $160 into that case so far. I don't use stuff that's cheap  $1400 in EVGA video cards ,$100 EVGA FTW MB ,$300 for 32 GB PNY ram ,Donated where 2600k CPU / Freezer CPU cooler and the 2 SSD drives Samsung and corsair from Jon my brother at tweak town post tested hardware from the website which I am grateful for..  I would like better PSUs  for sure.  So Walmart no!!!! Quality yes!
     
    Oh almost forgot.
    The mask is from Japan its a Bleach cosplay I use to hang near my custom made Samurai Sword Collection.
    I Love to watch Anime in high quality its the main reason for this case. My Bleach anime collection.

    Great screen name!
     
    I just posted on a 780 6 GB thread and was shocked to get a response right away as the thread is ancient.
     
    I stepped up to a 780 6GB + backplate for a buyer who couldn't find them anywhere. It arrived 10 days later and he already bought one for $800!
     
    Did you ever find another one. I have one and it has zippo use on it and I thought I would let you know. I don't understand where those cards went. They came out of no where and hard to find except through step-up and then gone.
     
    I know you want quality so I thought I would let you know. I will take the loss on Ebay but I hate that place! LOL

    No I hadn't had the money at the right times. I Did try to bid on one a few times but I lost. But Now I know it will work with DX12 I Really would like to get one more for sure. 2 more would be Ideal sense it was built to be a three way set up with the 2 SLI ports. I am scraping by right now Because I got a 3D Printer.  But I am glad I got a 3d printer its fun. 
     
    But yes the 780 6GB SC is the best card I have ever had so far. I did how ever get a 3rd 760 for a 3way SLI. I was using a 650 with the 3way But I like to swap it out with the 780 as the PhysX for the 3way SLI 760s on a FTW z77 board is Sick unbelievable PhysX motion with it. the 760s were made for 3way its more compatible the 2 on everything.

    I think I am going to do that with this Big Block Mod case I saw the cable guile how to and I was really impressed. I want a Awesome cord set up and you suggestion got me thinking about it. I can make it perfect like that.
