nice system, just the one observation and not sure it it's the pics.

The cooler212 doesn't seem to be on "square", I know they have a little play in them for twisting once installed, and it won't affect very much at all, but it leapt out at me :lol:

I do like the look of the 2.5>2.5 mushkin ssd tray though, very swish :)

looks very good!
didnt realize how much i like that case tbh :eek:!
it looks awesome :thumb:!
cable management is also excellent!

just 1 thing tho, plug the other 4pin into the cpu power port so u have 8 pin power. makes little difference, but if u have it, use it :p!

if you have overclocked can you remember what stock temps was on the cooler?
