I know what your saying man, I dont ever wanna do watercooling myself...unless I can pay someone to manage all the tubs and stuff when its done XD.

I plan on one day when I become filthy rich (LOL) to build the ultimate air cooled machine kinda...or like a complete TEC cooled system.

dude, that the best u can do, ave u seen all the lighting and fans i have in there, if u can c i'm using tie backs for all the vcables, and the all pushed on the right hand side, so i think ur a bit unfair with a seven but i dnt care, end of the date its only a forum.

but 7 is harsh,

Very nice! My only question is what a fan on the floor of a case can do for anything :p. Otherwise, cable management can be slightly better...and that's it. 8/10 for building your own case and making it look spectacular.

the fan at the bottom, was at the back of the case when it came, but cz it looked gay i put it at the bottom, is just to cool ma pci cards in there, i no it wont do much but its somewhere to put it.

cable management can be better but to be honest i havent gt time to re plug everything again its too much hassle, when i get time i will. thanks for the comments

thanks cash appreciated, looks like im gonna have only 12 votes lol, not rele mate, but i do agree with the guys u need to change the plate on the back, each cpu cooler has its own plate behind the mobo.
