Aplus CS-Blockbuster Storm
the Aplus CS-Blockbuster is a X-QPack clone.
I call a X-QPack my own, but for this mod I wanted the Aplus CS-Blockbuster
it's the first time I've finished a case mod, since years! and after a long time my mainrig is aircooled

Components:

Aplus CS-Blockbuster
Enermax Liberty 550W
Abit AN-M2HD
AMD X2 5000+ BlackEdition
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
MDT DDR2-800 4GB
Zotac 8800GT Amp Edition
Creative X-FI
Samsung SATA HDD 2x500GB
Samsung SATA DVD-RW

First some pics of the CPU and the 8800GT

there are three switches at the back of the case
1. fan (top and back) voltage: 5V/12V
2. turn on/off top fan
3. turn on/off fan LEDs and the small display in the front, that shows the casetemp
I added a eSATA port to the I/O-shield
some cuttings to the case and to the cpu heatsink (just the corner next to the PSU, 20 fins from the top, around 5mm)
and I found a new place for the second HDD
