Well - I sat down for 6 hours on Saturday, with $30 worth of tubing, sleeving, shrink-wrap, ties, etc and worked on my bad-boy. This isn't the fastest machine built (by far) nor is it the quietest, but it's the best system I've had for my 12 years in the PC world (clearly not counting my commodore days).

Feel free to give any suggestions or comments on the case mods in the gallery or forum.

Cheers, and thanks for the tips and suggestions along the way!

Sweet, very clean, all it needs is some bad ass video cooling and a little more light, i'd go with a double UV ccfl set
Also not important but i'd get rid of the blue cables thingy's

Thanks kobalt - I'm holding back on too much more. A new case, MB (msi or dfi), and mem (patriot or corsair) will be on my wish list before too long. This was the "first pass", so to speak, to get my hands dirty.
