Finally managed to get some pics, and yes, I know my "cable-management fu" is weak ;D

Nice case, but those open backplates are a dust disaster waiting to happen.

And cable management? Who cares?

Very nice, it looks a lot like mine.  I've got that exact same CPU cooler and it dropped my temps by 15

Considering I only spent $800 dollars (I already had a video card,ram,and a power supply) It's come out nicely.

I ended up getting:

q6600 (OC'ed to 3.2ghz)
XFX 680i Mobo
Antec 900 Case
Western Digital 150gb Raptor Drive (Love this thing)
And the Zalman.

All things considered I'm quite pleased.

[quote]I can't quite tell, but it looks like you might not have the North-bridge cooling fan on there.

That was the first thing I put on the board actually lol.

Edit: Temps are
CPU: 34C Idle, 54C Load
System 28C Idle, 40C Load

Yeah, I just looked at mine, and the fan is the big spinny thing with nVidia printed on the top.  I'm dumb. ;D

That board uses a Heatpipe solution... all parts are connected to a big heatsink at the top of the board where the PSU outtake will take care of the heat

The SB heatsink is connected to the NB heatsink with a heatpipe, then there is a fan on the NB heatsink to help with the cooling.  The PSU doesn't do anything to help with the cooling here.  The big green heatsink/fan is the CPU cooler, and it works great, I just got the exact same one last weekend. ;)
