UPDATE 6(7/11/12)
Sorry about the delays, had to find my camera, then when the pictures were done, lets just say, the SD card thingo was broken....

So, lets start!

Just a broad view the case

CPU'n'RAM

GPU

Just felt like taking a picture of the z77 chipset?

Cold Cathode!

Military Class 3.

Back side, with my lovely positioning of the cold cathode switch.

I have a little thing for these case fans, they just look so sleek.

Big view of the interior

And that is the one purpose of psu boxes, storing all the leftovers.

The mobo came with this wonderful little guide. Pretty much, oc for noobs, helped me tonns!

My poor little htpc cruncher hiding behind the tv.
And that's it!
More pics to come soon when i'm not feeling lazy, and after I finish jerry rigging the sd slot.

Decided I would watercool my GPU some time in the near future.
Little parts list I put together.

@ALMOSTunseen: The build came together very nicely! That case looks great, as well as your parts. Can't wait for you to throw that gpu on water!

Decided the GPU water idea would wait for later. An amazing opportunity to put the CPU in a TEC setup came up.
Specs-
XSPC Acrylic Dual 5.25” Reservoir
EK-Ekoolant UV BLUE (premix 1000mL)
Swiftech MCP655n
Danger Den Black Ice GT Stealtch 240 Radiator Black
Swiftech Apogee Drive II (No Pump)
4 60w TEC Plates with heatsink and fan assembly (Custom Made by Zaqwsx)
Power Supply with an Add2PSU adpater.

Thanks to Zaqwsx For selling me the TEC setup and some of the components!

Since I was in the mood for modding, here are some planned modifications.
Putting some modders mesh in the front panel, as the stock airflow is horrific.
PSU shroud to hide the 2 Power supplies.
Painting the Black Bezel's and mesh of the case blue.

If anyone has any modding suggestions, feel free to post here!

Got a package today from caseking.de
If you're in the Germany/Europe region, you should check them out.
Came with a nice magazine, and 2 packs of haribo cola jellie's, which were "disposed" of earlier. Delicious.

1 Scythe Glidestream 140mm 1600rpm:

2 Coolermaster 2000rpm Sickleflow 120 blue LED's:

Bitfenix Recon White edition:

What were you thinking coolermaster..... 69.69cfm

Sorry for the bad phone pictures.
TEC and some watercooling parts aswell as an Add2PSU arrived a couple days ago.
