I like the build other than the wires look somewhat bulky!

Did the customer ask for this case?

Very nice.. But why all those Fans? Because you need them to keep it cool, or because it looks damn cool? :) if it's the last, thumbs up! ..If it's the first, you should consider another solution := But.. A very nice setup.. what's the difference between the stock cooler from the 6850 and the one you used from the q6600?? Gave it a 7.. would have liked a bit cleaner cable management, but what can you do :) Cheers on the 5.6 score!

nice specs man, but I have to wonder why you have all those nice parts and then top it off with a stock cooler???

Kinda wrecks it a little imo...

Good work though, what are those cards like in sli??

The case was $400 at newegg and came with the 1000 watt power supply , the difference between the stock cooler from the 6850 and the Q6600 is the copper core is Double the size in the center, the customer picked out all the parts and brought them to me, I had the Q6600 heatsink from another build, so I used it, I would have liked to use a zalman. he also said he wanted it to light up like a x-mas tree, and it does with 7 blue led fans. Thanks for the votes.

Looks good to me, good fan airflow to exhaust the heat and intake for air.

I personally like a nice fan system, keeps it kool as heat is killer, room temp plays a part 2.
