So I might actually need mine this weekend. Been dusting it off and throwing my sysprepped Win7 on it.

Intel i5-2500K @ stock - Coolermaster Seidon 120V
Kingston HyperX 4x4GB 1600MHz
MSI Z77A-G45
XFX AMD HD 6950 2GB
Corsair Force LE 240GB / Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Coolermaster SilentProM 600W
Coolermaster HAF 912

Runs dead quiet except under GPU load.
Great cable management. I like that.

Agreed, it looks a heck of a lot better than mine! My biggest issue honestly is that my new power supply was non-modular so there's only SO much I could do with it anyway lol
Stop blaming the components...LOL

Also, about that metal rod... think of it more like an antenna to get you better surge protection.. it'll zap the rod and not the PC..

I actually shut off the PC when I know a storm is coming in, and I also unplug all the cables and shut off the circuit going to the office. I know it might be a little much but I don't want to fry any of my electronics.

They seem to do a pretty good job in their own it seems.

With the amount of precautions you take, I'm impressed with the amount of failures of hardware components you experience.

Just got done replacing my front case fans with bigger, better and brighter ones.

Looks good. Keep that front clean, front fan LED brightness is a pretty good indication of overall system dust level. I've seen some machines were the front is completely dark despite the blue LED fan behind all the dust.

I replaced the old fans (black plastic with LED) with these (clear plastic with LED) because one of them seized up and burned out so I went ahead and did both. The front panel was so dusty I could barely see the LEDs so I took the air compressor to the front bezel and blasted all the dust out, and I plan to regularly blow out the rig to keep it this way

Since your front panel is removable, and quite similar to my old Rosewill Challenger, I'd just say run the whole thing under water from both directions. Way easier and more effective than compressed air. Just make sure it's not dripping when you put it back on. I usually use water to clean dust filters actually.

I actually did run it under my shower head after I blew it out to get anything I missed. And I let it air dry before I put it back on.

Depends on the dust/dirt you collect. If I use water it gets 90% of the dust but the rest then gets like concrete, and is near impossible to get off.

I do know what you mean though. I just use more water. :D

Got my new case yesterday and started moving stuff in. This is where I'm at so far. I might change that bend, not too happy with it. I won't be able to finish it until next week though, because the radiator I was gonna put in the bottom was too thick and I had no room to drill the passthrough fittings holes, so I ordered a thinner one which will be here next week.

Haven't been active recently because I spent all my spare time working on the rig. Currently waiting on more tubing because the tube from the CPU to the res has a small kink (ran out of tubing) and a thinner rad for the bottom because the one I had was too thick and couldn't drill the holes because of it.

Finally thrilled with this setup minus the desk. All the lighting including the keyboard reacts to audio. Had the case set to red and the keyboard set to a gradient of red/orange/yellow while playing Doom last night it. It was awesome.

This is a nice case. ITX, right? Looks like it would be hard to build in that case what with it being so cramped. I hope you have small hands.

I actually did run it under my shower head after I blew it out to get anything I missed. And I let it air dry before I put it back on.

When I did my big "It's been running non stop for five years" clean on my NHD14 I ran it under my shower on high pressure for several minutes to dislodge the cigarette tar and dust that was caked between the fins. Then I blowdried it. Came out clean as a whistle. Then I sold it.
