Performed Mods:
--Update-- I have done some more cable management by rotating the hard dirives to hide all the wires. Also added more mirrors to the Hdd cages and other parts. The last 2 pictures are the new ones. Nothing really fancy. Lined most of the inside of the case with plexiglass mirrors. Sleeved some cables with split loom. Added an extra fan between the PSU and DVD writers to act as a blow hole. Also made the shelves on each side and behind the monitor. Finally i rigged up some 12v LED lights to the case and mounted them under the edges of the shelves and desk.
As this is my first post, constructive criticism would be appreciated. Any ideas on how to improve my setup would be very welcome.

Nice mouse(I have the same one). Also about that Logitec keyboard. How do you like it. I was looking to buy one but I needed a little more info. You thinking of liquid cooling?

He has a nice monitor. It's not really a con because he doesn't have a widescreen.

@ cHillen The Logitech G15 is awsome. the lcd screen doesn't work with many games but it is very handy if for the time and what song you are listening to. Also i don't think I could ever use a non backlit keyboard again. I have never really given that much thought to liquid cooling, seems to me more trouble then its worth. The temps with my zalman heatsinks are CPU 30 c idle/ 40 c load and GPU 40 c idle and 55 c load. I am happy with those temps and i dont think water cooling would improve them that much for what it would cost.

I was looking at getting a 20 inch viewsonic widescreen but I wasn't really sure if all my games would be able to handle the aspect ratio and resolution. With my old monitor all my games ran at 1280x1024 with good fps so I decided to get the best 19" LCD i could find. I am extremely happy with it being that its my first LCD and I was sceptical about how good it was versus a CRT.

AMD has a file you can download that sends info about the processor to the G15's screen. You should check it out. I'm planning on getting that keyboard too when I have money.
