Front Page feature http://www.hardocp.com/news/2011/01/25/cool_case_mod_dayThanks Steve

I looks to my like you got the 800D and not the 700D... The only difference is the sidepanel.. The 700D is without the window and the 800d is with the window. BTW nice rig.. it is something special..! Great work. Keep it comming..

Actually, that is a 700D. There is one more difference than the window. The 800D trades two of the HDD bays for two hot-swap SATA slots, thus the cut-out looking plate in front of the case.

Thanks guys....

It is a 700D, I bought a 800D window because I didn't want to deal with cutting it out myself, and it was only $25 shipped so I figured I would take the easy way out :P

I had no need for the hot-swap bays, I only have one HDD in there, the rest of my mass store resides in my server :D

I bought those GPU blocks for really cheap, $120 shipped used, so I didn't want to spend any more money just on looks, so my plan was and still is to make my own backplates myself, I just need to get to it... haha.
The GPU blocks are just for business I wanted to get more out of those cards and I was able to get a TON more, just a matter of time tell I shell out for a new set of cards, I was thinking EVGA 580s (wish I could afford the hydro series) with EK blocks but I don't feel that the 580 is really that big of an improvement over my current setup.

I might also add that I score P9110 on 3dMark2011

Ya a short story on those,
They are Bitspower anti-kink coils, and they went on easy, no issues at all. but when I redid my system to install the CPU block, the anti-kink coil broke to pieces just bending the tubing around. The anti-kink coils were brittle

complete waste of money, last time I do that. Also I think it looks better too.

When you see the back behind the mobo, just amazing how it all fits back there and closes! I got a lot of work to do when my new PSU comes in. Great job!

Looks good man, love the green paint job, and I've never seen anyone run their tubes behind the case before with their cable management. That's pretty awesome.

Great looking rig! Nice to see the WC lines run behind the mobo tray; I don't think I've seen that before. Hopefully the cable management on my 600T will that easy/clean. +1 for sure!

Granted, it's a difference in preferences, and it's your rig, not mine.
