I finally have my PC up and running again after 3 weeks of waiting for my motherboard to be replaced. I have a few images of the PC as of now finished untill I have a need for another 6950.

Enjoy.... Please let me know what you think good or bad.

not a bad case it looks like a nice 360mm Rad would fit nicely on the bot.

I have been looking at water cooling but don't really know where to start? or if I really need it, I run a mild overclock of 4.3GHz and the CPU idols at 30c and loads at 65c. The only problem I have is my GPU it idols at 39c, hits 79c during games and can go as high as 100c while running OCCT.

Is it possible to eliminate the use of fans with watercooling? Sorry a little off topic.

By entire system you mean CPU and GPU?

Do you have some mismatched ram sticks in there (one blue, three black) or are my eyes deceiving me?

watercoolers needs fan unless you have a huge radiator(heatsink) to dissipate heat quickly enough. i find water cooling to be a hassle and usually is not much better than conventional huge heatsink+fan combo

cable management could be a little better (the onle cables I can see are the PCIE power to my card... I should sleeve them with MDPC-X stuff) but looks great

I always found that Case design to be intriguing. It's like it's upside-down or to the side, when it's not. It looks cool in theory, but how is your ambient temp? The air flow looks questionable. I'm just curious! Not hating. I think it looks awesome though!

Work on your cable management. I know you could get it cleaner looking than that! No point in having those fans at the bottom if your large PSU cables are in the way!

you can actually check out the swittech ultima 220+ kit if you are going to start out, but if you want to do your own custom loop you cana ctually do a bit of research. It is very easy to do only thing you must be careful with is maitence and watch for leaks, but i have been leak proof for almost three months now let alone the 360mm rad and gpu block i added into my loop. ;)

I'm not over fussed about the cable management as you cant see them anyway as it has no window :D (I like clean simple cases). I did my best to eliminate the cables blocking airflow but I see I could probably put the mobo power cable behind the tray.

My mobo temps are 24c, CPU idols at 30c and graphics at 38c
