I love what you did with it mate. really shows that you don't to splash out on new gear to have a decent system. and at least you have the satisfaction of having done it yourself
Cheap and "cool" case

Haven't done any mods to do case yet, but here is one thing I did today.
I've put my PC outside, since it's -3 °C outside.

My phone is connected to Wi-Fi and is USB tethering to PC.
Intake and exhaust 120 mm fans are at 100% and intake 80 mm fan is controlled by MBO.

Here is the complete setup for this test:

And now, the temperatures...
This are CPU temperatures after 10 minutes of prime95 blend test: http://www.pohrani.com/?S/EQ/2UHNj3xo/prime-blend.jpg
This is GPU temperature after 10 minutes of Furmark blend-in test: http://www.pohrani.com/?a/Tm/ByXFvl9/gpu-load.jpg
This are temps after 15 minutes of prime+furmark: http://www.pohrani.com/?M/k3/3IfIiGOJ/gpucpu-load.jpg
And this are idle temps after 10 minutes... http://www.pohrani.com/?1F/3n/4uQyF5YU/idle-after.jpg
Also, here is exhaust temperature during GPU+CPU load:

Just had to do that, can't wait for -15 in a few days

Great build Who cares what it looks like? At the end of the day it's something you've built on a budget and it's still going to play games pretty well.
Ghetto mods are the best!

Nice, good to see nice and cheap projects like this! A bit like my rig I built for my missus, check my cig for that log, I made it using old parts, didn't spend a penny
This reminds me of my first PC i water cooled, lots of chopping stuff up and adding grills etc, was good fun. Man i think ive got one of them northbridge coolers kicking around in a cupboard sumwhere from like 2001. Your making me wanna root around and see what bits ive got and try put summat together now 
So, this is what happened...
I said to myself, I need nicer fan control and I need a new look!
So...
3D printed bracket with a switch that controls the relay switching from 50 to 100% fan power
This is the case now
BTW. I cleaned everything
Polished the CPU
And this is the final look for now
Also, here is a YT video of how that fan switch works

That's pretty cool, but shouldn't it be red for AMD? 
Well, actually it's green.
AMD letters should have been white to fit better, but that's not the way I like it.

What modding did you do to the CPU cooler brackets? I have an Ereboss, and have the same issue with mounting orientation on with my AMD rig
Well, I don't know how much can you see on this pics.
Basically, I took an Intel mount, 4 of these little plates that have two holes and some screws and nuts to hold that together (from original AMD mount to that Intel part).
Then I drilled the holes on the mount that goes over the block so it would fit the new arrangement.
Sorry, english isn't my native so I can't really explain it the right way...
