Wierd, you and me both have the same ram and cpu cooler and we both posted a Case Gallery today. 0_o

How do your temps run on the Z600R? I have to have mine passive since my side case fans touch the damn thing.

I did see that!

Yeah your PC actually gave me the idea to put some pictures up haha so i did! I actually havent checked the internal temps of my machine yet but i do have the Zalman fan controller which has temp gauges and i have placed them in 4 locations (RAM, CPU, Internal, and HD) and non of them go higher then 33c even when im running Crysis on High. So ill have to check the Bios on Internal Temps. Love your build as well! Great Job!

I love the cable management and the psu. I think if I had your psu I would be completely satisfied with my rig. Check mine out it looks kinda like yours.
