"Ok, fuck it, I lied. It's drum and bass."
Truth is I could have done a much cleaner cable management / cpu fan positioning, but I think I'll just leave it like it is 'til I'll have new components. It's not easy to overheat that piece of rock anyway! :P
Edit: you might have noticed that I gathered everything that couldn't be seen from the window panel in the corners /lazy :P

o.O
Indeed, I could probably fit 3-4 mobos like that if only I had enough standoff holes x)
I paid it like a Haf 922 though, so I'll just let it be comfy 'til I'll find something better
Lovely setup, the more I see your modular PSUs in this thread the more I envy you guys :P

The back could probably be a bit cleaner but the cords on the PSU were pretty stiff, first time cable management.

I may or may not try to find the time to move the HDD/SSD bay to the left as others have done.

Looks good, much better looking than the cable management job I have. The only thing that really looks messy are the wires running across the bottom of you motheboard, but I'm guessing there wasn't much you could do with that.
I'll post some more pics soon, as I got a fan controller this last week and I'm going to be getting a Crucial M4 128GB for my birthday in about a week. I'm going to do some more cable management when I get back to it, so hopefully it doesn't look awful anymore. It currently is this mess.
Yeah, I'm almost certain the PSU covers the small cutout down in that corner or else I would have used that one. Next time I'll need a new computer will be for heavy 3d modeling and that kind of stuff and I'll be going full-out on it by sleeving all cables and that stuff. That said, I'm 99% happy with what I was able to do.

Mini ITX was fun and all, but I miss not having space to run wires and the sometimes issue of not having a long enough wire instead of not having a large enough case. So after this I am reluctant to say I am moving back to Mid Towers.
But anyway here is what I just built.
Specs:
Sg07 Silverstone Case (With 600w Silverstone PSU)
ASRock Z68M-ITX/HT LGA 1155 Intel Z68 MB
XFX Radeon HD 7950 Core Edition 3GB 384-bit GDDR5
G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
Intel Core i7-2600 Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W
Two 19" 4:3 Monitors + One 25" 16:9 Monitor
Logitech Gaming Keyboard G110
Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400
1TB OS Hard Drive + 500 GB VM/Fraps HD + Corsair Nova Series 2 2.5" 30GB Caching SSD
I've found that if I don't give myself a budget I will end up trying to buy everything.
So my budget was $1200 and I already had two of the Monitors, Keyboard, Mouse, Case, and the Two Mechanical HDD's.
It is mostly used for VMWare Workstation and of course games.
PICTURES!!!

Looks like a Scythe CPU cooler, possibly this one with a taller fan on it http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16835185097
Its a Scythe 2000
And I as said in my post I already had the Mini-ITX Sg07 case from about a year and a half ago. So I built to that size.
Also know as Scythe Samurai-ZZ. I personally use this one in my heatsink. provides enough cooling the be very quiet at up to 100W.
Why do something simple, when there is a complicated way?
