8 years later I'm still using my Carbide 400r and still happy with it. Most cases on the market today leave a lot to be desired for my uses that include mandatory 5.25 front drive bays and zero rainbow type lighting. The original build as a i5 2500k Z77 build and I finally updated it to a R7 3700X system. I don't game at all so no giant GPU needed is the reason for the 1660 Super. A few photo's of how my 400r looks today.

Installed W8 CP on a spare Intel 320 40 GB SSD and got some improvements in the Windows experience score. 9.2 for Memory now.

Nice clean install. I had no idea the president was into custom computers :D:

A few updates since I originally posted this. I replaced all of the 120mm Scythe fans with 140mm Cougar units. I have also added a new 120GB SSD and a USB 3.0 media card reader. I know this is useless but still cool to get a couple 7.9's

Just curious what other folks are stuffing in their own 400R cases. I love this case and all the fan mounting options, I like it better than my 600T even. I just finished my new Intel i5-2500K build this afternoon, I still consider my AMD system my main so I have not updated my system specs.
