That looks very nice. Could you get some pics of the inside close-up?

Sure thing. I gotta go to walmart and get some new batteries for my camera though, they died while i was transfering images : P haha.

I messed up putting on the case cpu temp senser, i couldent get it to stay, so i just kinda set it next to the cpu, if i take off the heatsink, do i have to reapply thermal paste? My arctic silver isnt here yet >_<

I plan on doing some watercooling soon because its pretty warm in my room, and full loads running between 38-41c which i think is kinda high. with idle being around 35-38 usualy.

Im going to make a custom peltier AC unit for the computer after i figure out what all I want to do.

Unfortunately yes. When you remove the heat sink, the thermal paste becoems very uneven and there's no way to put the block back on without getting lots of air bubbles. if you don't have any grease around, I'd wait until they arrives so you wouldn't have to redo the paste more than once.
