Lookin' good!

It could use some cable management/wire tucking and a bit of bling (read: lights, chrome, shiny thingies!), tho. Other than that it looks great

What're the final specs of the machine?

I agree, it could use a few cables rerouted, but other than that looks good

The cables made me

I ended up moving a few of those aside, and will get to the rest later. I have a couple more things to plug in there anyhow.

The final build was:

MSI 965 platinum mobo
intel 6420 core 2 processor
2 gig of ocz ddr2 800 mem
HIS radeon x1950 pro
600w power supply
250gb WD sata 2 with 16 mb buffer

Everything has stock cooling and whatnot until I decide to try and mass with things. For now without having to tweak anything it runs perfect, so I may or may not decide to ever overclock stuff.
