Here's my humble little beast I finished a couple days ago.
PC-60FB
Swapped out the front 140mm with a Yate Loon and replaced (and added) all 120mm's with Scythe S-Flex's. I'm very happy with the way it turned out, especially the temps and how quiet it is. My only regret is the wiring of the 12V cable - which I couldn't get to work any other way. Do they make extensions for those?
Nice looking dude.
And here I thought you were dead. Besides today, one post a year ago and a whole other year before that. Nice to see you're around still.

Hey, amigo. Yeah, I've been around - just livin' the dream in St Louis Park. Years ago I got fed up with some of the people over in the PC Gaming forum, so I gave up on Rage for awhile and went over to HardOCP. Now work is blocking that site from me but I found out Rage still gets through.
Just installed a new SATA DVD burner, so cables are a lot less messy since getting rid of the large IDE cable. Now I just have one small IDE cable for my IDE HDD at the bottom. Might not look all that special but for anyone with an Antec 900 you'll know how tough cable management is in this case.

I was going for the small form factor approach, didn't quite make it...
I reckon I'll pull out the main rig someday and snap some proper pics.
And I bet all that hardware is used just to play Starcraft...

Nah, mostly just my media, web/ftp, left 4 dead, and hot spare servers.
It also holds my:
Main computer
A/V Reciever
DTS encoder
Cable modem
Wireless router
extra switch
Ethernet coupler patch panel
Print server
Printer
PS3
Xbox360
HD-DVD player
Only the front is full, still have plenty of shelves on the backside.
Here's some slightly updated pics of my rig. Things that are different are:
4 new scythe fans
2 added western digital caviar blacks in raid
285GTX
faced the dvd drive the right way
Messy desk:
tower:
where all the mess went:
Best case I've ever owned, and I don't plan on ever buying another one. Unless of course some weird new tech that doesnt fit anything comes out or something.

my 3yr old playing feeding frenzy on the 360..

And most of the mess was confined slightly off to the right and left of that picture. I thought I uploaded a different one.

I admire the clean cable routing. Man if I had the money Id buy that case, send you my parts, pay you to assemble it like yours, and pay shipping both ways.
That is a nice desk. I may have to pick one up for when I move into my apartment this fall. Where did you guys get it (I hate being a copy cat but yeah it is nice).

Thanks for the links! I have an old, very heavy office desk from I want to say the late 80's so moving that will be a big no no, especially up 3 flights of stairs.
