Overall a wicked looking rig and set up!

Thanks for the complements

It came out alright enit. I found it a lot easier to do the filters this time for some reason. As for temps my case temp has only raised 2c to 28c but i also added another antec true quiet at the bottom which is bringing in some nice cool air for my gpu. Gpu temps lowered by about 3 or 4c. Airflow hasn't been affected much as the holes in the side panel mesh are 0.8mm i think. I should notice a big difference in dust in my gpu though as eventhough the 200mm corsair fan on the side doesn't move much air it seemed to suck up some dust lol.
The fans on top are exsaust so the filter there is just to stop falling dust really.
Eventhough the filters need cleaning more often its more managable as barely any dust gets through. The front panel filter is still the stock Corsair as i didnt want to affect the main intake airflow but will see how it goes. I may change it eventually

Got my 180 rad in my case now, updated pix.

Temps are pretty good, the GFX cards are gtx465 's over clocked to 750Mhz, I get 44 degrees max after an few hours gaming, my CPU (i7 2600k) is at 4.2ghz and max temp is about 45ish degrees so I am quietly pleased. :)

i finally got round to installing my led's and had a better clean

so heres a couple more pics for ya
i also changed the direction of the fans on my H50 to intake instaed of exsaust and added the bottom fan as an intake. .no change in cpu temps but my gpu is a few degree's c less. now ive definately got a positive airflow n should have the dust well n truely under control.
oh and i had another attempt at gettin the steel and copper mesh in place as filters. this time i got it sussed

Very nice and im glad you found the swabs and alcohol to be a good investment

Alsisgevat,
You're building a killer rig. Are you using the various SSD's as ultra fast storage or as ultra fast raid? May I ask how you like your cases unusual mobo configuration with it's IO ports pointing up and it's wires running along the top and out the back?
