That is beautiful. I like the orange.

I wonder what the total cost of the project was? How much of a profit do you think you could make by selling those (or similar ones) to your neighbors? (I bet they would buy.)
 
Here I've made a duct that directs intake air towards the motherboard, as well as a storage rack for extra psu cables.

PLEASE paint the face of that optical drive on the right. that standard white color is killing me when the rest of the project looks so good.
 
What, you don't like my Dell 8x CD-Rom? I guess I am at the stage where I should be looking at what hardware to put in this system. I'm thinking my good ol' e6600, a new IP35-pro, my 150 raptors, some new sata opticals, and my ol' HX 620.
 
Put together a fan shroud, to pull air thru fan filters that will be mounted on the backer board, plus direct the fans in angle towards the motherboard side.
