Very nice!

Hi Bayliss...not a bad machine you have there...

but a couple of things i might point out to you...

You should put windows on one of your SATA drives - they're a bit faster.
If you don't use all 12 usb ports, I'd suggest disabling some of them...as having that many will eventually slow the computer down.

Also, looking at that photo, where the window is in the side of the case, all i can see is a 12v power connector, and what i believe is a blue sata cable...when i get around to finding my digital camera, i'll post a photo of my case, so you can see why i point this out.

Keeping your cables neat and tidy isn't just to make it look nice, it's also to make for better airflow, and when you do eventually add extra hardware, you're not **** ******* around moving cables trying to reach into the tight rescesses of the case with just 2 fingers that can't move I've had both messy and neat internals...neat is much much cooler And makes me proud when i goto LAN's...people look in my case and see all the parts that they're supposed to see...not cables

Ok, Thanks people! I will disable some of the usb ports just to make it slightly faster!

I will try some cable ties inside the machine to try and tidy it up a bit, but one thing i am thinking about is water cooling, just to make a little bit quiter, its not noisy, it just think about the temps getting hot after a while of being used!

Yea, i'm thinking about water cooling as well...but at the moment my northbridge is playing up and i'm not too keen on doing such heavy modifications to faulty hardware...so i'm going to be waiting to see if it handles itself ok...i believe i've fixed it but i'm stress testing it and making sure it's working ok
