I'm about to do a build eerily similar to yours, only difference are the fans.

That being said, I'm having a real frustrating time trying to fit the FC6 controller in the 5.25inch bay. If you have any luck, do let me know how you managed to fit it in.

Thanks guys. Build wont commence until Wednesday. Most part are due to arrive on Tuesday, so hopefully there is no delay on anything. I will be taking pics of the entire process...with the first pics being of the old rig and then the "official" pic of all the components on a desk still in packaging waiting for it to be assembled.

I just hope I got everything right and that everything works correct when I try to boot the first time.

Even though it is a non-window case, I decided to get some blue colored power cables from Corsair. I think it will look a little cool to have blue power cables in the rig.
