Thanx. TBH, Im not going to bother about cable management until I get my new PSU. I think I will get rid of the IDE Pioneer 112 aswell and get the SATA Pioneer 212 ;)

Im not form Brazil, I live in the UK :)

Looks great. PSU might give you a little trouble though, that's a bit low IMO.

Thanks m8. The PSU is holding out just fine, but TBH, it will be changed very soon, as will the motherboard (I may pop a Gigabyte DQ6 in so I can overclock even higher) ;)
