Thought the white looked best, then the blue grew on me and now I'm not sure.
Don't think the yellow would suit personally.
Also, a question for all the watercoolers...how do you transport your rigs to things like lan events? I can't imagine the watercooling stays very secure?

If your temps are fine don't worry about it.Please guys, theres no need to show any jealousy over this setup and the careful cable routing
If you temps are on the warm side a piece of thin stiff cardboard from top right of cooler to bottom right of PSU will help direct the hot cooler exhaust toward the PSU intake and rear exhaust fans.

Temps are alright, but does struggle with extra voltage. Its only a £15 cooler aswell. After 10 runs of IBT, with a 8320 @ 4Ghz stock voltage it peaked at 56c (core/package temps)
I got a new case yesterday and added 2x 120mm Artic F12 fans, rather than 2x 80mm no-name fans and with the same HSF I now get 51c. Got a Silver Arrow on the way so expect a few more degrees less after that!

after some problems with graphics card temps, and not wanting to go the proper watercooling route, i opted for a pair of aftermarket coolers. colour scheme was accidental but its growing on me.
edit: bottom card isn't bent, its the camera

Every time I see a sabertooth mobo just makes me want to buy one! Shame they don't have any fully closed ones for S-2011

Its a shame you have to use that squeally little fan to make them thermally efficient you mean?

You don't have to at all. Mine is on a "silent" profile in the BIOS. In fact, it doesn't really do much at all so i may remove it.

Update from my picture in the past page.
Got a new case - £18
2x 120mm Artic fans - £3 each
Silver Arrow - £35 2nd hand
Still not exactly tidy but I dont spend all day looking inside my case
Temps under fullload down from 56c to 32c! Fairly happy with that.

My picture sucks.. but finally managed my cables.. no way near as cool as you guys.
I am going to eventually fill the case with the bitfenix white braided cables. As you can see here the CPU 6pin cable is the white braided one.

Why two crossfire bridge connectors? Also, do you not want your CPU heatsink pushing air out the back of your case? As I see it your rear fan is pushing out and your CPU is pulling in and into your case.
