Nice to see that you have put the case to good use, but seriously, you have no excuse for messy cables with the amount of room to hide them behind the motherboard tray! :axe:

I havent placed to much effort as its all coming apart once my new twin rad comes plus the 24 pin enermax motherboard cable is to big in diamter and too short. Thats the same for the 8 pin cpu lead as the motherboards input is in the top right corner.

Admitedly the fan and 4 pin psu leads need to be sorted lol.

The watercooler is good but the only thing that is not so good is the rad size and position. The idle temps are 35 26 33 34 and max using prime 95 is 53 43 47 48 at stock (q9450).

I am planning a few mods and hoping to drop max load temps by 10-15 degrees.
