I've acquired this build through a trade and figured I'd upgrade it a lil' bit.
First, some photos:
The front of the PC. It originally had some HTPC-styled front panel that was in bad shape. I saved the buttons from that FP, the bay covers, as well as the USB board, then trashed the rest of the front panel. I might do some solder work on the front panel to acommodate the one on this front panel, which comes from another case I have in use (a P3 650MHz + Voodoo 3 3000 build)
The side panel. It's one of those JNC Computer /ANS Computer Co. LTD cases (two of Deer/L&C's biggest European distributors of these type of cases. I've had a lot of these and they're pretty good cases, depending on the models tho.) that you could get with prebuilts here in Romania mostly. Usually these either had a globe embossed on them, or the Internet Explorer icon. (my P3 650 build has a white IE variant of the sidepanel). Definitely better than most cheapos I've dealt with. If you don't count their PSUs, that is.
The insides. Cable management wasn't really my priority, though I might do it when I'll have the time. At least I replaced the failing NB fan with some AGE fan out of a scrapped HDD rack.
