You might want to space out those hard drives a bit for better cooling but yeah, we are all drooling, thanks DJ...:)

I'm going to go for a walk, maybe then I won't be so jealous of DJ's rig...

Thanks again vbangle for the hard drive tip, they are now spaced apart, and it also looks better lol.

DJ, I'm sure you won't but just a quick reminder, don't run the machine for extended periods with the cover off. It's important the casing cover be put back on because it forces airflow from the front of the case (away from the drives) out the back fan. If (later) you find heating a problem - esp on the drives, the large back fan just needs higher RPM. I've been working in the storage and RAID industry for 15 years - overheating is the second most common cause of disk drive problems after repeated start-stop mechanical reasons.

EDIT: After looking at your PC, I have to go take a cold shower... ;P
