I got my EVGA X58 SLI MB back from RMA this week and finally put it together today. I've added a couple of pics. It's pretty similar to the other EVGA X58 LE MB I have except this runs tri-crossfire or SLI at 16x16x8 instead of 8x8 for the LE.

It's a HAF 932 and it came with the wheels as an option but the feet are standard. My PSU's fan faces down, so I raised the case off the floor with the wheels.
 
Nice rig Six! I picked up the 922 today for my new build and faced the PSU down as well. Just didn't make much sense to blow the warm PSU air inside the case when there are vents out the bottom. Mine will be up on the desk with about 1/2 inch clearance with its current footing. Hope that will be good enough.
 
Nice and neat ! DID YOU DO IT YOURSELF?

Yeah, I did. It took maybe 30 minutes to set up the hardware and probably another 20 to do the wiring. I originally bent a couple of pins on the MB and sent it in for a CPU socket replacement, got the MB back and they screwed up the socket replacement- it came back with bent pins in a different area so I sent it back again and finally got a new one back. It runs great and I'm just happy to have it back and working again.
 
Damn that rig is nice and clean. My old one was plastered with dust all over, in between fans and shit it was scary stuff.
 
Red, watch the airflow. I have the HAF 932 up on wheels for bottom vent clearance. Now my PSU only blows out the back so I didn't have to decide on fan direction there, but the air wants to rush in from those bottom vents to supply the top and back vent fans so I would worry about blowing hot air out and 1) sucking it right back in and 2) messing with the airflow pattern Just a thought.
 
Have you guys seen the HAF-X that's coming out at the end of March? It's got two 230cm fans up top in addition to all the ones the HAF-932 has and it looks a lot slicker.

Yeah, canned air + vacuum (hose) every two months at least, or your PC starts growing an internal fauna.
