The initial building of my computer in my lab :p
Its very messy, oh well


Close up of the board in its inital testing and setup


Finished (Im getting a new dvd burner thats black ;))


Cable management? Going to wait a bit longer till I know the PSU is going to work and then cut the cables so there will be alot more room to hide cables under the optical drive


Mod for fan, its sucking out, all fans are sucking out, and it seems to be working the best for me, I believe once I get my GPU that some blow up into this area of the case where my fan will suck it out. I also have to attach it to the window, but I got lazy and just ziptied it for now, I still have to buy a grill
