Okay, I got everything switched out and set up in the new case except for fans to make the rad push/pull. Right now it's just pull. I got tired of screwing with it and said to hell with it for today. Anyway, here are some pics.

Nice man, that is one hell of a tidy case. Wish I could get mine to be that tidy. I like it ^_^
 
Shit, I got tired of playing with it today. I'll clean it up some more but I'd had enough after coming back home tonight.
 
Looks good dude. I think they went a little overboard with that big ass grommet. Even with a dual cpu server board which would cover that hole its not necessary. Much less with a little ol board like that.
 
I think that's exactly what they have it for - "future proofing" for dual-CPU boards. If you look at the bracket that's on the CPU block Sixer has, the hole would actually fit perfectly for a dual-cpu board so you could fit and take off the bracket without removing the mobo.

Might work with a couple 1366 boards. But 2011 is much larger (overall mount dimensions not just the processor) and with the variance in position on boards I just don't see it working out. I just looked at EVGA's SR-X and ASUS's dual 2011 board and I just dont see it working.

But a damn good point and something they sure as hell should have thought of due to the potential users this type of case targets.
 
That is the bees knees Six, the bees knees. I'll post a pic of mine tomorrow so you can have a good laugh. Mine has pop stains in it, dust, wires all over the fucking place, no case fans, missing brackets, but a nice collection of solid hardware. She's ugly but she fucks like a rock star.
 
Look forward to seeing those pics. I do love this case though :)
 
Your case is beautiful, not just the openness, its a really smooth style. I like that there is room for the PSU on the bottom.

In my latest attempt in stupidity I've decided to sleeve the cables from the PSU. The materials are pretty cheap but damned if it doesn't take more time than I thought, especially since I've never done this before. Anyway, after about an hour and a half here is the paltry amount I got done. You'll notice the red sleeving and I only did one in black so far but it will be mixed. I've added another photo so you can see how the cables look from the box compared to what I'm doing now. The idea is no naked wires.
 
You can, but from what I've seen it's $400-$600 pre-sleeved like that. In comparison, $50 for the material and tools sounds good to me.

Edti: It's not difficult, but until you get the hang of getting the cables out of the male/female connectors it takes time. The sleeving is quick and easy...learning how to get the cables out to do the sleeving is what took me some time today. Plus, if you do them all at once you need to make a diagram of where they go. I'll stick with one at a time for now.
 
Perhaps, just perhaps (and call me crazy on this one) doing this when you don't have a large, oozing wound on an elbow would make the process easier? Call me crazy . . . .

It's all good...no more oozing :)
 
Yeah and if you fuckers could read you'd see I got that as part of a kit...fucking illiterate douches. Lol, just kidding. But seriously, I have those already.
