Ordered today, figure a resistor soldered into the LED line and I'm all set! I'll likely do the same. Just gotta figure out a good resistance value and crack open the case one last time. When you figure it out, please share... :? I've settled on 1k ohm 1/4W resistors. YMMV, depending on how sensiti...

I'm using a mini ninja at the moment which prevents a optical drive from fitting (even without the fan). Can anyone suggest a cooler that is the equivalent in terms of cooling and noise of a mini ninja but isn't as tall or any wider? (I'm using a q6600). Hmmm... a Q6600 needs some serious cooling a...

So I could put one 2.5" drive in that slot below the cage and just leave the stock front plate on the bay opening, correct? Yes. The removable 3.5" bay front plate is actually quite nice as well and has a brushed aluminum finish. That's a nice touch, considering that the large swingdown door hides ...

I hear you on the "less than 18 inches deep" issue. The GD02 is 14.25" deep and was on a very short list of cases that I was trying to choose between. The LC02 and LC04 cases are even smaller, but they require an expensive add-on PCI-E riser card if you want to expand beyond AGP or onboard graphics....

I, too, have been building up a new HTPC using this case and would like to add a few comments that the previous poster didn't mention. First, the optical drive eject button didn't line up with the button on my LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray/HD-DVD drive. When installed, the SilverStone button just missed the L...
