Performed Mods:
Months of planning before deciding on hardware to use for the build. Interior spray painted case. No Stock heat sinks anywhere. Custom spray painted gold I/o back side. Black spray paint for pci Wi-fi, and Tv tuner for black pcb. Due to Techpowerup picture gallery glitching up, please go to http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=53677 for complete listing of all my images.
UPDATE: New Images. Time to make this? Over a month.
How much I spent? Too embarrassing to say, you do the math.
Why it's called it PITA? It was PITA during installation, that's why.
Update #1: Passive gpu scrapped
Update #2: New images

Post your commentVery very nice!
Can you close her up? Pipes look like there higher than the case top.
Maybe the angle of the shot. Pic 6.
She is Purrty.
Also did you say you painted the PCB? I did not know you could do that
please explain.
Gave you an 8 till you answer my inquiries. I love it when people full dress in
Thermalright. Kinda like putting on a tux.
Very classy.
Damn animal rights activists!!!!

anyway,great overall looks of this rig! nice work
9/10 for sure. I was going pick one of those cases up of egg around $100 and if i can i will for sure now.
Wa going build a HTPC but was not worth the cost when i could just use my older ABIT AMD 3800 x2 which be sweet in that case.
My main reason of thinking of building a new one is to get the power usage down which would of been around 50w were as my 3800x2 takes about 85w so did not think it was worth it.
But thanks for proving me right about that case :).

very cool....9/10

Temporary Images
Due to extreme temperatures of the GPU in a Home theater cabinet under load, I had to scrap the whole passive GPU
In order to make room, I moved the Tv tuner card to a different location. In the images as you can see, the fan barely even fits when a HR-05 IFX sli is right next to it and the fan clips barely arced over the Wi-Fi card. I honestly think Thermalright made their IFXs too damn big, why discontinue the more compatible regular HR-05.

I think this is one hell of a build. Its million dollar pc worthy IMO.
