there are some more daylight pics, mainly exhibiting the SATA cable organization as that's basically the only cables you can see anyway :)

Alright, that is some serious CM you got going there. 10/10, although would be nice to see one more full side shot in the day.

BTW, what is that 2 digit readout at the bottom of the MB for? I assume thats stock.

thanks bro! I'll get another pic or two up next time I change a part

the display is stock on many boards now:
AC2005 POST Display
it can display ~50-75 codes that can be references in the motherboard manual, detailing exactly what stage the motherboard is at all times, including powering on (about 15 steps), powering off (~10 steps) and all other times
Basically if there's an error, you can tell immediately why and then determine what needs to be done, it's quite handy though I must say, this board is so great that I haven't even needed to reference it yet :)

9/10. Great WM. Nice air setup! I took off 1 point because I would love to see a H20 setup.

Overall good job. Post some OC specs and 3dmark scores please :)

lol I can live with 1 point off if it means not spending >>$100 on a WC setup :p

I'll definitely be posting benchies in the near future, atm I've been busy with school and now I'm writing a review on the crucial lanfest so it may be a bit before I get to do much OCing
(most I've done is superpi 1M at 3.6 which can be seen here: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpost.php?p=506745&postcount=1323)

Looks good. I gave you a 7.
Did you mean you cut out the sidepanel to fit some acrylic or did you buy a new sidepanel for it?
Also seems kinda stock for the rest but nice cable management.
