I like your case, and board and everything look sweet. Im biased, asrock is awesome, and red and black too, lol. Heres a really bad pic of my case.

Thanks. I built the corner table its on out of concrete, matte black to match the case. I also have a Tv/monitor above it in the corner, so everyone's teasing me about building a shrine to my computer lol.

Looks like nice hardware. Not to be a constant critic, but is there room behind the motherboard for wire management? Keeping all the wires in front doesn't look very good. It looks a little cluttered.
