Bought this from here in the mad sale a few weeks back, but i've only just got it finished and the pics taken. Unfortunately my room is still a mess!

So the spec is:
Haf-x
MSI GD65
2500k
8Gb corsair xms
MSI Twin frozor 3 OC 6950
Asus dvd drive
NZXT sentry LX fan controller
Intel 510 120Gb SSD
5Tb misc HDD
Coolermaster silent 1000w psu
Icybox hotswap hdd cage
Binfenix braided cables
2 120mm apollish vegas fans
3 200mm red led coolermaster fans
1 230mm red led coolermaster fan
1 120mm zalman silent fan (gpu duct)
Phobya fan cables

My favourite part of this build is the front usb3.0 ports that don't have the cables routed externally. I've hooked up the backplate breakout inside the case and run the cables to that instead and tucked it out of the way!
 
Seriously thinking about watercooling it with a pair of 200mm phobya radiators and adding the gpu when the 7 series come out

Temps are low 20s for the cpu when idle and low 40s for the gpu when idle. Haven't looked under load yet. It's pretty quiet unless you turn all the fans up, noticable when the room is silent but not once there is something playing.

The fan controller is the nzxt sentry LX, great display and interface (despite not being touch) but the wattage per channel is pretty low so no good for a pump.
