I am looking for a few things here namely perfection, sorta like this guys; (Carholmes @ XtremeSystems)

As it stands my system is totally stock with no modifications what so ever other than a third party heatsink. There is no wire management to speak of and there are naked power cables everywhere.

Hard drives are at the moment in the front HD Rack inbetween the 4 120mm fans I have 3 HD's so they can be moved.

I am willing to dremel the mobo tray, case, and shrink rap wires. I will have my GPU, CPU and NB in the loop. I really want to watercool the Mosfets too but I can not find anyone who makes them. I'd pay 150 for that block alone.

Budget for complete system makeover is 1000 dollars. I am not of fan at all of RicePC's :D as I feel they look incredibly tacky and unproffesional. What I am looking for is basically an entire shopping list top to bottom go get my PC to look as proffesional as this pic and case mods you would do. For instance putting the radiator at the top of the case or removing the HD rack in front and using those 120's, etc.

I am at work at the moment but I will post pics when I get home.
 
That has to be one of the best wiring jobs I have ever seen, I wonder how much work was put into that??
 
Exactly that is why I set this as my goal. Everything about it is top notch.
 
Very clean.Why'd you put those fan grills under your rad? For bling or for some kind of protection? NM, I see that is not your PC. Well it all depends on what kind of case
you have to work with. The bigger the case, the better IMO, as you can fit a bigger rad.
 
I would avoid putting the rad up front unless you plan on reversing the fans. You don't want to be cooling your radiator into the case. Top is great because you can exhaust the heat and cool the radiator taking into account the natural convection.

A modular PSU will help keep things tidy of course.

You've got heatpiped mosfet/northbridge, right? That's probably why you have trouble finding a waterblock for the mosfets. Maybe this would do:



They also have a matching northbridge and southbridge blocks.

Anyway, I won't go into that whole "shopping list" thing becase a lot of it boils down to preference.
