What's that metal plate above the mobo? (beside the PSU)
That's the latch mechanism that allows me to open the back of the case up and fold out the motherboard

Your rig looks great. Even though you can see some wires, it looks very organized and clean. Much better than I can do!

what happened to the H50?
You can barely see that front panel audio cable, and the fan clip looks fine too... Then again I'm a sucker for those A05 builds so I may be a bit biased. Small cases are definitely the hardest to work with tho! One of these days I'm gonna bite the bullet and pay the dumb shipping charge it'd take to get one of them down here to PR... If anything I'd say a better measured sleeve job might have more of an impact than anything else. The sleeving kinda stops way too short of the molex connectors imo, altho I rarely bother to tidy up that kinda stuff myself since I usually have somewhat larger mid-towers where I can orient the drives in the opposite direction. Very nice job regardless!
nice "paper weight" you got there
A05 is just to small for a 2x120mm loop. Also made transporting the case a bit more tricky and also the fact that I am a lazy bastard when it comes to maintenance made go back to air.
What maintenance is there with an h50? I thought the whole point of a closed loop was it's maintenance free. (Im not trying to being sarcastic if there is maintenance I should really know about it considering I have one)
The build quality is quite good considering the price. No sharp edges or anything. I prefer the hard drives the way they are though, looks cleaner not having the SATA cables on show.
Updated with new video card and slighlty cleaned up cabling...

Still not happy with them.
Okay so here's my rig after about 3 months on this build. Got a few things to do, like replace the top fans with ones like the back, silent!
My PC was built with silence in mind, as it is 2 feet from my lazy sleeping head. And so far its pretty silent, but fuck i hate those stock fans that i put in the top holes. still debating on a fan controller.
Sorry about the picture quality, I'm still testing the waters of the picture capabilities of my G1. Camera got stolen.

^^^ The zalman fan thing-a-majig haven't seen one of those in a while, they're very useful. I gotta go find mine
That case is hawt, and for only $110 that is a close competitor of alum lian li's. I love the layout, how many stock fans come with it?
