Dos mice on the mouse pad? O_o
Finally got my third monitor arriving soon, Aria had a sale on today where you could 'request' items a week or so ago, dropped my monitor by 10% for me! I can't actually use it yet because I'm too stubborn to buy a set of the new Radeons without knowing what the Kepler cards are like so it will just be sat there blank for a while :P

So I just ran Unigine Heaven 2.5 on my 1080p monitor, didn't do the benchmark test but just had it roll, extreme tessellation and 4x AA... while the fps was painful to watch, I was kind of surprised the GPU never went over 51 Celsius!
Maybe it's because it's about 7F (-13.9 C) outside and I'm in a not so well heated/insulated basement. Though computer is idling at normal temperatures.

Ignore the dust, I cleaned the filters right after I took the pic.
Inside the case. I'm extremely happy with how organized I was able to get everything using fan power splitters and cable extension(s).
Close up on the motherboard.

Looks nice, but you should turn your PSU around; as it is, it "steals" air from your bottom GPU.
Yeah, I plan on flipping my PSU; in fact, I asked which way it should be facing in this thread a couple days ago. I'm just gonna wait until those extensions and power splitters come in, since I'll have everything unplugged then anyway, should be here sometime early next week (my temps are fine in the meantime, so I'm not too worried).
Thanks for the compliments. =)

I'm literally drooling over the case :> Mine was supposed to arrive this week but the basterds at the shop screwed up the order so I'll have to wait for the next week. It's awesome looking build with the dual twin frozr's and all. Maybe you could duck those cables behind the motherboard tray for some extra cleaness ;> I'm nitpicking though, looks great!
The Antec "High Current Gamer" 750W PSU. I have about twice the amount of space between my PSU and GPU as well (non-SLI). Turning the PSU also made the cable-mess a lot tidier and allowed for the front fans to push in more air. Here is an old picture of my system (pre-cleaning in Aug I believe): http://i.imgur.com/asiQL.jpg
Only reason I went with that PSU was because I was aiming at going some sort of custom loop and SLI. Plans changed though.
But then it'd be half-messy no matter which way you turned the PSU
Anyways, while my computer hardware hasn't changed, my gaming station setup has:
Got a new desk, an APC UPS (you can barely see it on the bottom to the right of the tower), built a rolling platform for the computer case to sit on so I don't have to drag all ~60lbs of it out when I need to open it up, wall mounted my monitor, and got a Logitech racing wheel for playing Dirt 3 and F1 2010 (the wheel is off to the side)
did your aurora dye mess up yet? I have heard that it lasts 1 day and then the effect goes off, apparently it's not recommended for everyday use only for shows and such.
