2x 120mm machined fan/rad grill (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=59_362_540) Mnpctech makes for PPCs. Joe may go with Anodized Black version instead, I'll piece everything together first and he can decide.

The 140mm intake in the floor will be relocated to bottom of the chassis, so I've made spacers to raise the 690. These are milled from 3/4" thick aluminum

These Black Anodized Thumbscrews (http://www.mnpctech.com/thumbscrew.html) look really nice with the custom painted Cooler Master 690 chassis

surferjoe wanted to see what the 120mm Enermax Apollish Twister (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_69&products_id=25810) fans looked like in his case

Here is the Power Supply for Joe's system. The PSU is SLI ready certified, and comes with both six and eight pin PCIe connectors. The connections at the PSU are specially designed to screw-lock into place so you don’t have to worry about them coming off. This is all I'm doing until Joe decides what he wants done next.

Bill, the suspense is killing me. LOL

With the drive cages turned and the left side windowed how are you going to allow access to the optical drive?
