Nice, I got a big 120mm fan at front of mine too.  Mine doesn't look as pretty as that though and I have a home made filter stretched across it to stop dust getting in.

That is cool!   ;D

That looks like a turbine on the front, goes with the FS theme well!

What are you going to be putting in for a video card and motherboard?

I took some pics of it today.  Nothing is hooked up or lights up yet.  The fan lights up a cool blue LED color when it's all connected and it spins too but looks like it will be a while til it's ready for takeoff  8)

Here comes the pics:

That is pretty cool looking.  If you want a totally silent case try the Antec Sonata.  I love it.  I never knew how loud computers were until I bought this and then worked on my other computer and realized how loud it was.  It has a great side panel that pulls off without any screws so you can easily access everything inside.
Long days and pleasant nights.

Does this look like a good motherboard for the comp and the flight sim?

ATX really just refers to the size of the mobo.

You need the correct chipset.

For intels the 925 and 915 are decent and for AMD's the nvidia nforce3's and 4's are pretty good.

Any intel 915 chipset is decent. The more expensive 925 is also great if you can afford it. The chipset is part of the mobo, so just look for the chipset in a mobo. Be sure to make sure the CPU socket matches that of the mobo you bought. For the current intel prescott's, the socket is 775

Your case takes ATX form factor mobo's so make sure any mobo you buy is ATX compatible.
