Evo 212? Nah man it's a Mugen 4.
Also, since the photo of my setup with stock cooler and Antec 300 slipped to previous page, here's the link.
I'm not even sure when I last updated my current gaming rig stats, so here we go:

OS - Windows 7 64-Bit
I'll grab some pictures when I can be bothered.
System build update, still need to get cable sleeves or Corsair pre-sleeved (not sure whether the reds o blacks or mix them both up). Also the side window needs to be made, here is the design I sketched up in photoshop - http://i.imgur.com/UPNskmz.jpg

Eh. Is the painting of the front done in this picture http://i.imgur.com/PTidRwa.jpg ?
Looks like you painted it with a brush without disassembly. I see colordifference due to lack of primer, and parts missing paint.
Maybe take it apart, sand it, primer it and then buy a carpaint spraycan and give it a workover. I'll bet it looks allot nicer.
You can even click off the covers of that DVD unit, and paint them. I did it with my CM690 back when.
@Suprm, although big ATX cases are no longer my thing, that looks really tight.
The front is far from done, I'll give you that. It was done without disassembly but that is because the clips of the front cover refused to budge no matter how much force I used on them. I will definitely re-do the front, it's on the agenda. Originally only the cover clips were painted and the rest was stock color but painting the whole front white was sort of an idea I had while doing the rest.

Well my first ever PC build, thanks to MMO-Champs Upgrade section for suggestion on what to spend my budget on. Only just got round to taking pics, and not brilliant ones at that. Could do with a lot more cable management, but the XFX 850W managed to get hold of for only £50!!!
It's got a lot more tidy since I first built it a few months ago, but as I changed the PSU, GPU and Cooler (from a GTX 660, XFX 450W and a Evo 212 for slightly more overclock) I thought may as well do a bit better on cables, as they were literally all in front of the motherboard.
The mouse was a very quick fix and shall be being replaced. As was the monitor (27" IPS Viewsonic) too. The fan controller was kind of a must for cosmetic reasons, a disc drive in the top bay was putting a lot of strain on the cabling that comes down from the top panel... where as this Fan Controller was the right coloring, and could fit in the top slot to rid myself having to use a grill panel that comes as standard. The Blu-Ray drive is another quick fix as sold my PS3 and waiting on a PS4... Needed something to play my Blu-Rays obviously.
Not the usual in here, but it's my baby and I'm proud since it's my first build. Hoping next year to start a new build and give this to my GF. Either that or sell this, as this was solely a "get used to building yourself" rush kind of build.

Friendship is like peeing on yourself, everyone can see it, but only you get to feel the warmth it brings.
