Just overclocked as far as the board would push.
Well honestly cooling was a joke in this case. It came with 3 80mm fans with the exhaust being on the bottom front. Now correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt heat rise? Anyway I removed the side and top panels and cut holes for 2 120mm intake fans on the side panel and 1 120mm exhaust on the top panel. I reversed the fan on the bottom front to be an intake fan which actually cooled my HDD's dramatically. I then took the casing off the Evercool system and replaced the fan inside it and directed it up toward the top exhaust fan to remove the heat from the radiator and case. On the second radiator I setup a push/pull airflow on it to remove heat off it and out the back. I tried as best I could to increase the airflow with cable management but the PSU wires were a flat out nightmare, just so many of them and so little room, but it works! All together this was just supposed to be a "budget build" but ended up being a tiny giant. Honestly one of the faster systems I have built, considering the hardware.

All I can recommend is cable management. It's definitely possible in that case.

The only problem I have with the cables is the amount of them. Management would not be a prob if I didnt have 2 lines I just flat out dont use and a Sli cable. All that extra makes it hard man.
by: docTrue. I have a modular PSU and still have tons of extra wiring to hide/tuck away. Heres a picture of the backside of my case: http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/1622/10.jpg

Its totally worth it. Makes you appreciate your rig even more when its got no extra wires dangling around. You outta see TKPenalty's wire jobs. Guy is a damn magician.
Well just thinking someone rated my rig as "pretty ugly" made me go and do that today man. I will post new pics in a few. And your right it does look alot better all around.
