OK, time to breathe some life into this bad-boy.
This wouldn't be much of a Fatal1ty tribute case without using Jonathan's own branded board, the Fatal1ty AA8XE kindly provided by Abit.
Installation is the same as any normal motherboard really. Gtek.se donated a pair of red Fatal1ty heatsinks made by Zalman. The CPU fan is massive - you can see it here (above right).
The graphics card is a PCI-Express Leadtek 6600TD, so I had to strip it down to fit the special Fatal1ty heatsink. This is my "don't mess with me, Mr Heatsink" face.
In addition to the case, Antec supplied a Neopower 480W power supply. It is one of those new modular units where you only plug in the power cables you need to use. This was key to keeping the view through the side window as unimpeded as possible - I only needed power for the motherboard, one hard drive and CD drive.
