Its ugly as hell i know :P its SERIOUS welfare at the moment, as in, repainting fans and psu's..

when i have more money it'll look nicer :P
 
I think you may be missing one of the components :)

But seriously, I would not suggest hooking up the motherboard in the case until you have the CPU and CPU cooler installed. This is always a fiddly install and the chance of bad things happening (eg CPU pins bending) greatly increase when you try and install these components into the case as opposed to on a desk (with cardboard under the mobo).
 
i know, cpu and ram tomorrow(today) for delivery, and dw mate, im over experienced with fitting fiddling am3 sockets and massive heatsinks from awkward angles and no light without bending pins! :P
 
It'll look a lot neater sk8, the cables are ugly at the moment, didnt have any braiding and they were incredibly messy, had to use lurid purple electric tape XD
