Standard 2 set speakers..(i only use headphones)
standerd mouse/keyboard..

Mods:
Moved 2 90x fans to intake, added the 2 front fans to bottom 90x fans..custom with ties.(was hard) if u wana call it that. Video card was running hot..about 65c now after 2 90x intake and 1 90x exhaust the temp. fell down to 53c

Its my first built, so go easy on me , i wanted fast speed for less $, cpu at first gave me prob. was running at 2000 but now its 3000 n had to manual set the ram to run at 1066. Love the ram, looks so great at night or when i am playing games!!!, i ran into a issue of having 1 EIDE slot on mobo, so now i am only using 1 HD and 1 DVD-RW..i got 2 extra HD's n DVD-Rw but cant use them. Well i been visiting this site for more than a year and saw u all talking about Wire Management, so i "tried" to organize some, the front panel wires i brought them from back of the case! ya used ties. Future=better CPU Heatsink, SATA HD's, DVD_RW. Also video card design is just stupid..fan is on bottom, so now i gave 3 dedicated fans to cool it!. Also now temp. r CPU-I=22C L=40c..VIDEO-I=49 L=56-58...(btw) 2 mb picture limit sux really bad. i had to make them small n now the pics look bad..

You should definitely get a new CPU as soon as possible.
you still have some possibilities with the wire management take some time and stare at it for a few hrs and you'll find ways to hide them. Like behind the mobo tray if you dont mind cutting a hole into it.

there is one thing thats bothering me is at the back of your case what looks you have a fan propping the VGAcable w/ DVI adapter or a fan just blowing air in or and exhaust fan? I dunno . If it is just propping the VGA cable y dont you go buy a DVI cable instead. And if its either a fan blowing air in or exhaust fan.... WHY O_O?

well my monitor got vga cable, so using hte inverter, and that fan is a extra fan laying around so i used it, its taking air out, before that fan the temp. hit about 65c now its like 53c because the fan is briinging hot air out, its like straight path from 2 90mm fans (intake) and than that air gets hot and comes out from that rear fan.try it it really works!.. i have treid the opposide by intake it but still no good, i dont mind having fan out..

and ya i am thinking about getting a new cpu heatsink

if you really want an exhaust fan down there they do make exhaust fans that fit right into the PCI slot/panel of your case.

Re the IDE cable, to save some room, you could purchase some round ide cables. This will save some room.

Also re the board only having the one ide slot. May make it a tadge messy, but with some good wire management, consider buying a ide card. This will give you another 4 ide slots, for your other hd's and dvdrw.

be safe
