Very nice

Good

have you made sure the motherboard/gpu and sound drivers are installed?

and have you run the windows experience index? ignore the score it gives, I find the system performs better after its run.

Very tidy looking setup.

Nice build, very tidy

Nice build dude, out of curiosity, i'm guessing you had to purchase your window panel separately and if you don't mind me asking as I don't mean to be rude but how much did that set you back?

Very tidy indeed, nice job.
That's put the idea for a clear side pannel in my head now, may have to pick one up.

Very nice, that cpu cooler looks like overkill though

I've been dying to see a photo of the cm690 with the windowed panel. I've been tempted to order the side panel for months now. I wasn't sure how much it would show etc. Looks pretty good too me.

Good job btw.
