Have since replaced top fans with two white LED Akasa 120mm fans and added two white neons in the HDD trays. Also put in a new soundcard, but cba to take some new pics.
That is slick!! Mirin' hardcore.

Need to upgrade. Something more compact and clean like Sovereign has would be ideal.
Looking to pick up a couple things off newegg this blackfriday. Particularly a ssd and a cpu heatsink. Yeah I'm using a stock heatsink. Deal with it. At ~50c idle and 75c load.

Don't forget about airflow, but doesn't look like you need to with that sort of setup.

Some of the latest i7 cores have their multiplier unlocked, so going past 4.2 is easy. Imo, if you're running anything less then 4.6 Ghz on a 2600k then you're just wasting money by not using it's full potential. So long as you aren't pushing passed 1.45v with a semi decent cooling system, then there's nothing to worry about.
Yah the airflow is good, I was worried about it but the case came 6 fans, and I added an extra 120mm today at the bottom and I can feel the heat moving properly
but seriously guys, post some pictures too, I enjoy seeing other peoples layouts, gives me ideas XD
I'll post my box tomorrow, dirty though, can't my air canister and not going to buy one tonight just for it.

No air compressor? They work like magic
I actually have one, just being lazy here really. I don't particularly care if it's dirty or not as long as my stuff is getting cooled properly.
Spoiler!
can't avoid dusting it off now, great.

Bought the card 2+ years ago and at release pretty much all partners were using that cooler.
Spoiler!
I like the design myself.

Gaige!
Thanks so much for bumping this thread, i'm actually building a new gaming comp so i like the fact you guys post what works for you so i can sift through it.
Funny enough im actually thinking of getting something similar to your set up:
Processor: Amd Phenom II X6 1090T or AMD Phenom II X6 1100T @ 3.3GHz RAM: 6 GB DDR3-1333 HDD: 1TB HDD Motherboard: MSI 870-G45 Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 6850 1GB PCI-E Keyboard: Unknown Mouse: Unknown Monitor: Dell 21" Monitor Headphones: N/A Computer Case: Unknown
If anyone wants to give me a couple of pointers, or upgrade options then I would be more than happy to listen. I'm figuring of spending somewhere around $1,000 +/- a little.
