This looks pretty good, however I personally would opt for a cheaper case, then take the money you save and put it into CPU/GPU power.

The new owner wanted a FULL side window. Something that you recommend? I understand that case that I added is a overkill. I used corsair 300R windowed and bitfenix before. I wanted something different this time. Thanks again.
