I'm getting just above 40deg idle. The case isn't the best for air cooling but it's still pretty good.

My old case (Gigabyte 3D Aurora + Hiper 580w Type R)
Q6600 @ 3Ghz
P45 Platinum
True
4Gb Patriot PC6400 @ 4.4.4.12
BFG 260 - 216 OCX
1 x 500Gb 7200.12 Seagate
2 x Samsung F3 1 TB
2 x Samsung SH-S223B
It was too tight for the GTX260 I have
As you could see it barely fits!
So I bought a CM-690 for < £60 all in
Shame the P4 12V cable is too short to run under the board or the GPU

Holy **** dude!
Tidy those cables up man. You've got a modular PSU - is that not supposed to help with cable management?

hooflungdung?
heeflungdung!
all over the inside of his case
looks like the cable monster's crapped inside the case...and out the back.
Love the addition of the PCI slot fan to aid cooling!!!
Bet this would look top notch with a few hours spent on braiding and cable management.
Are you up to the challenge?

That's not my case!
I have more respect for my parts than that, thank you very much.
If you'd bothered to actually read my post, you'd see that it was a quote from someone one page back.....

Nah, it's alright. But i've spent hours tidying my cables recently and it's still too cluttered for my liking....
Not anywhere near as bad as that though

many apologies hooflungdung, I may have miss led with my missive. As "heeflungdung" referred to the real perp (linktoinsanity)
Your cabling it has to be said is anal in the extreme...which is a good thing....in case you're wondering.

Yeah it's ok - I got that.
Mine is still too messy below the mobo for my liking, but I don't really know how to tidy it up any better....
Airflow is still top-notch though - comes in through the HDD bay and there's plenty of circulation. The 2 exhaust fans at the top and 1 directly behind the sink help a fair bit as well.
