It looks very nice...clean wiring. It's going to be a nice improvement over the rig it's replacing.

I know eh?? i didn't really look at the layout in the reviews..i just skipped to the performance and overclocking lol, ad when i got it, i was like WTF did they put it there?? but i snuck it between the CPU fan (not blocking the heat sink fins) and the RAM, and tucked the rest away behind the 5.25" bays... :D

And what can i say, i'm a budget enthusiast :rolleyes:

just call me Mr. Mid-Range :p

And it's like $680 US btw....lol...your dollar ain't that big :p
