Ive given a 6 m8 tell ya mom good job the cables are a bit messy but i can see youve tried to tidy them up a bit but with the case been kinda wide compared to the mobo there aint much else you can do apart from run the odd few down the back of the mobo the custom paint is great m8 its definatly a one off id give ya 10 /10 for daring to be different i think its kool.

your cables need some cleaning up and also your IDE cable is backwards(not that its a big deal just looks kinda weird) You might want to get some shrink tubing to finish up that cable wrap to give it a cleaner look.
Also suggest changing all your blue fans for red ones to keep a nice monochromatic theme.

lol I never would've noticed it, too think all this time my cable was backwards. I like the monochromatic suggestion, just need to scrounge up some money to buy the fans lol.

Updated system specs. Just bought an E8400 and currently have it overclocked to 4.0GHz with very little effort. Easily one of the best cpu's I have ever owned.
