Clean and simple, nothing fancy... nice work on your cables.
If anything id paint the inside/back of your case to give it a more elegant look.
you should take that vga cooler and put it on a 8800GT or GTS(G92) and it'll double your 3dmark score

7 out of 10 from me to.
I say you replace that Nvidia Card with an ATI to call it a true AMD rig, but thats just me.

Thanks for the input. Im defenantly planning on getting a new video card soon, either an 8800gt or HD3850. Just need the money first :(
*Tkpenalty is freaked out how similar that build is to his secondary*
Nicely done, very clean build that looks rather nice. See that hole next to the PSU? route your spare wires behind the mobo tray; its neater.

Very clean and good cable work. The case is not particularly great, and pics are fuzzy. Offsetting between aesthetics and attention to detail along with build quality. I dub thee 6/10.
7/10 on this - brilliant cable management, very clean and tidy - just slap an 8800GT in it and possibly wrap it in a new case - antec 900's are cheap and great for keeping everything looking nice and feeling cold. Still, nice little rig, would keep up with most up to date shizzle haha.
