I finally got my dirty little fingers on a tower! It's not the biggest, widest or tallest, but man is it sweet! No keys or light, but the condition is pretty good, taking into consideration that it's 10 years old. All shelves all there and I got 9 single and double metal stands with it as well.
I paid a bit more than I originally wanted to, but oh well. S**t happens when you party naked?

I've been looking for any kind of tower for a year or two, and maybe this wasn't my first choice, but I still love it.
I don't have any room in my own room for it, but we'll see what I'll do about that.

Now I need to clean it and make it look like it was new. And install some LEDs in it.

Wooohooo!

Nice work! If you've got the stuff to compliment it the aluminum towers are the best of the bunch.

Your mate in the background looks pretty pleased about it as well!

Thanks! I've got quite a few metal stands and such. And I think I have a hanging mirror somewhere.

Haha - yes, it's my brother and he was pretty stoked as well. Maybe more so, because it currently resides in his room.

Jay, do you have a picture of your case? I'd love to see how it looks in the dark and during the day, and also how you wired everything?

Thanks Jay! I really like the way it looks! How many of the LED strips did you use a set of four on each side?
No need to take everything apart though, but thank you!
