Anyway, specs first.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Brisbane, OC'ed from 2.1GHz to 2.7GHz
2GB (2x1GB) G.Skill DDR2 800 RAM (F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ)
Abit AN52 Motherboard, nForce 520 MCP Chipset
Sapphire Radeon X1900GT 256MB PCI-E, OC'ed 515 Core/657 Memory to 580/855
2x320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA II HDDs
7 120MM Cooler Master fans (Hovercraft, anyone?)
Gigabyte 3D Rocket Cooler Pro CPU cooling
Zalman VF900-CU VGA Cooler
Also some random DVD-RW, random Lite-On DVD reader, and a 7 year old floppy that I've used in all of my systems forever. But enough of the tech stuff, lets get to piccies!
The case is a Cooler Master CM 690 I got from CompUSA. Woohoo liquidation!
The front and top of the case is covered with a metal mesh. There are chrome spacers running along the edge to give it a nice touch. But warning though, this case is HUGE! I had to take a shelf out of my desk to make it fit.
Simple steel side panel with room for two 120MM fans. One already installed, which was nice. The case came with 3 fans installed: One blue LED in front, one in the back, and one on the side panel.
Top ports are two USB, the usual headphone/mice, plus a nice Firewire, and to my surprise, an eSATA port. Passive connector, just run a cable to an open SATA port on your motherboard. Firewire's a no go for me at the moment, since my board doesn't have it, but you can easily disconnect the cable from under the top panel, so you won't have any extras.
Again, the case is huge, inside and out. I have to admit, I was really impressed with it. Not only does it provide you with all of the screws you need for assembly (Running up the back of the 5.25" bays), but it also provides small clips you can screw into any open hole of the motherboard tray to help keep the wiring clean.
Pictures of my behemoth cooling systems.
I love these little trays. Five in all.
Since I have two fans on the side panel, I ran these (provided) 4-to-3 pin adaptors to the top of the power supply, and used double-sided tape to keep them there. This is just a temp solution. Later I'll extend the wires and mount them somewhere nicer, but I was too lazy to for now.
Tool-less PCI brackets. I admit, they are a bit loose, but it also provides space for you to put a screw if need be. I don't really have to, since it holds my cards in place just fine.
Pre-drilled holes for watercooling, which will be coming on down the road XD
You either love or hate the buttons. Instead of the normal push in buttons, you push these to the side. The positioning kinda sucks, since I have my case near the ground, but I love them just the same.
The final "on" shot XD
