Hey all, I posted a few times two weeks ago. I asked some questions about building my first computer, and all of your advice was awesome and well taken. I am finished building my computer and it is awesome! It runs perfectly, a huge improvement over my old Pentium 4 Dell piece of... yea. Here is my finished build.

Yet again, Thank you to all of those whom have helped and answered my noob questions. I plan on doing some cord management and also adding the optional 120mm chassis fan.
 
Looks good man. I can't wait to build mine. Question: why did you get the Antec 900 rather than the 902?
 
Mainly because when i bought the 900 it was on sale lol and because i like the little top tray on the 900. the 902 doesn't have that.
 
I only got three because i have no plans on getting a 64 bit OS in the near future. If i desire to, then my mobo has enought DDR3 spots for another 3 gigs or even 6 gigs (3 x 2gig).
 
nice!, share some pics of the inside, and lets see some bench scores hehe, u gonna do any Overclocking?
 
Here is some pictures of the hardware, and before you ridicule me for my cable management job :P, just know I'm not done. I'm going to follow a similar format as this guy did.

you can see all the pictures here

The only benchmark I have are a few games:
54 fps average in Fallout 3 maxed settings (FRAPS).
52 fps average in Oblivion maxed settings (FRAPS).
90 fps average in Sims 3 (FRAPS).
 
You could've gotten a HD 4890 that can run Crysis at 60fps at maked settings, probably would've been a little cheaper too but nice build.
