Since I have had a few requests for pics, I decided to post the pics from my unfinished written review of the Area-51 7500 I ordered a while back. I haven't been able to finish writing my review as my time has been limited and also I can't make up my mind what OS I want to use. I keep going back and forth dual booting XP & Vista, XP only, or Vista only. The problem is I like different aspects of both of the Operating Systems. I can tell you my 3dMark06 scores are higher in XP in the 12,000 range and in Vista I score in the 10,000 range with one Nvidia 8800GTX.

This is a pic of the board that controls the AlienFX customizable colors. It is attached to the bottom of the case.
This is the Acoustic Dampening.
