Not impressed.
thats supposed to be a clean looking 900?

I'm almost there
But for now here's a preliminary shot of my 900, and I have to say I might have one of the cleanest looking 900 out there:
My 900 (Rev. B - but not "900 Two" or 900.2) has lost some of its tidiness:
Done sleeving the PSU
Sure, looks pretty open . but what is with the electrical tape on the main power connection for the motherboard. And what looks to be a fan speed controller hanging off the GPU needs to routed somewhere else.
Oh I s'pose. Be gentle
Paint it black:

If you don't want to read the whole build log, here's a link to the end. I have some updated pictures with the GTX 295 in there that I will upload soon as well.

Otherwise, so far so good!
Getting it coated is in the works, a buddy of mine works at a coating company and will be getting it coated in black Teflon. As it stands I'm waiting until I get the ambition to remove the 15 million rivets that hold this thing together, it has to be broken down into each individual piece for this.
That's why I just painted it. I put several coats on, and while it didn't chip too badly, I have since learned that a matte finish clearcoat would've made it even stronger and more scratch/chip resistant.
comments and critiques appreciated
For some reason I really don't like the look of the H-50. I guess it's an association with the CoolIT systems, that I always thought were really gimmicky.
Hey, Jojo, just for fun, at least on this first build, I would like to see your specs in your sig. I mean, we can see mostly what's in there, but it's kinda fun to have it in your sig, too. Besides, I'm a list person, lol. Definitely some serious muscle in that rig, though.
these are the juices:
Antec 300 (2 front, 1 side, 1 top fans)
i7 860 (OC 3.8 GHz)
Corsair H50 cooler (constantly @39-41c)
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P
4 x Kingston 2GB DDR3 2000MHz Extreme Profile RAM
XFX HD5770 crossfire (OC GPU 950Mhz, memory 1220MHz)
Corsair HX750W
2 x WD Black 1TB HD (in IDE)
LG Blu-ray 16X rewriter
Samsung DVD 22x rewriter
Win7 Ultimate 64bit
It's not about you.
