Thanks guys, yes I love it and it rocks.
How involved is removing all the parts to paint inside the case? I had ncix build simply for warranty purposes but I think if I mark A->A, B->B I think it's a relatively simple task. I do work on aircraft after all, I think got this! Just want to make sure there's nothing unexpected I'll encounter. For simplicities sake, is it safe to leave the heatsink installed? | My System Specs |

clgrnt- Remove the golden pins for the motherboard, or tape over it, and just use the normal tricks when painting(sanding,water,paint,leave a week,paint ext) and make sure the paint is heat proof or can withstand high temps. I painted my dvd drive in my current build,and it still looks as it did the first time,just take your time. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built OS 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Intel i7 3930k oc-4.3 ghz Motherboard Asus Rampage IV extreme Memory 32g-8x4gig Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600 Graphics Card Sli - EVGA gtx580 hydro copper 2 Sound Card Onboard Monitor(s) Displays Samsung S27" a950D 3D Screen Resolution 1920X1080P Keyboard Razer blackwidow Ultimate Mouse Razer Mamba 2012 4G PSU Corsair AX1200w Case Silverstone TJ11 B-W Cooling Water Cooled Hard Drives 1 x 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 6g/s SSD (os-drive),

I may still route the bulk of the unused cabling under that little step it's sitting on and putting a cover plate on the front.

Understood, I'll look into that more and make the switch!
I just got done sorting out some stuff, firstly the cabling. I couldn't do much more did I want to go overboard. Just hid some of the extra cabling from the PSU. Short of a new case or a modular I'm not going to put in huge efforts to only see moderate results. That combined with an unpainted case, not worth it right now.
The other was the top vent. I don't have a fan installed so no positive pressure keeping stuff out. It's also under a desk so being a horizontal surface a lot of shit was going in so voila, sheet air filter material to keep the nasty out. It flows well, and the temperature increase if any would be so small I'm not at all concerned.

i always keep the boxes from components n stuff as ts easier to sell them with it, my mrs does'nt seem impressed tho
as for building a desk. as long as u plan ahead and take your time pretty much anythin is accomplishable. definately makes life easier with tools tho
