Indeed. If he got rid of the big gray cable it would look 10 times better. Maybe bind some cables together and done. It's not that bad 
I kinda like the case layout, what brand/model is it...?

i would love to see what the guy who did that looks like, I'm guessing something similar to the comic book guy from the simpsons???

Here's mine - not stricly new (got the case in June) but meh
Fairly standard TJ07 build with roof rad mod and some cable holes (thanks to previous owner). Base is a total mess, just shoved everything in there so the main chamber is tidy!

My Antec 900. Been through hell and back with this thing, and still not happy with it, but it'll do for now.
Not perfect wiring I know, but tried to make it as "stealthy" as possible.
And found some random pics of me at a recent lan party...

Tell me what you think of it

My rig, some pics are blurry as hell 
CrossFire XFX 4890 + Power Cooler 4870
Gigabyte EP45 Extreme, this board has just set a new world record for the highest FSB reached on the socket 775 platform!
Laing DDC Ultra with an XSPC reservoir pump top
OCZ Blades ( NOT the low voltage kit ) Stock they're 1066Mhz with 5-5-5-15, curruntly at 1150Mhz 5-5-5-15 with stock voltage!
Modded the stock HDD cage to allow me to reverse the hard drives and hide the sata and power cables
In the dark with my UV cathodes on
3x Xigmatek fans in pull configuration on my Thermochil 120.3 radiator
Mega blurry shot

Is that case the XIGMATEK MIDGARD? if so does it take 3 120 fans on the top panel or can it take a 360 rad there aswell without need any modding?

OK thanks for the info.
My PC:
I think I used too much blue .....
Its an Antec P182, I put the cathodes on top since it has no window.
Core I7 920 D0, Gigabyte EX-UD5 X58, 12 Gb ram, Crossfire 5770s with Zalman VF950's, OCZ ModXStream 780 watts.
I want a Creative X-fi Fatalty Championship edition next, I actually sold my X-Fi elite pro because this motherboard has no spare PCI slots, but have been fine with onboard sound for quite a while.
My I7 920 only reaches 3.8 Ghz, the motherboard is stable at 200 BCLK, but the CPU fails at 4.0 Ghz.

Very nice little setup m8, hows those 5770s? wondering if i should upgrade my 4850s to 5770s or geta i5 setup next.
The 5770s are fine at 1.225v 1000 / 1300 Mhz with the Zalmans on high speed, peaking at around 85 degrees.
They outperform my previous 4870s when overclocked to that much.
On the stock cooler, they could manage 1050 Mhz @ 1.3v, but at 100% fan speed, which was far too loud. 1000 Mhz still required a 75-80% fan speed to keep the temperatures hovering around 90 degrees, the Zalmans are much much quieter and about 5 degrees cooler then the stock fan at 80%, but cant reach the same performance as the stock fan at 100%, so no 1050 Mhz for me
I'm replacing the Patriot ram with the 2133 Mhz Geil OEM stuff that OCUK has on offer next as it shouldnt cost too much after selling my current sticks.
The sound card will have to wait as its too expensive, and if spending that much, I would really prefer to wait for a decent all in one gaming and recording soundcard like the X-Fi Elite Pro to be released on PCI-E, but no one has made one yet.
I have 6 x 12 cm fans cooling the thing, 5 blue ones that you can see, and a plain intake one at the front. I couldnt fit one into the PSU / Hard Drive space because all my cables are squashed into there, but the PSU has a fan so its fine.
Most of what I have was bought on offer at the time - £85 per 6 Gb of Patriot ram, £58 for the 780 watt OCZ PSU, the Graphics cards are continuosly sold + upgraded, and just the Motherboard and CPU were really expensive
.
Here's a Furmark stress test result - 1.225v, 1025 Mhz, stable at around 84-86 degrees:

My old akasa eclipse, gave it a bit of a tidy up, still looks a bit messy but its nice and cool inside it.
Non modular psu doesnt really help.

Ok here's mine, first time at proper cable management (The 690 not exactly the easiest case to do this btw), be ordering new case soon to showcase the parts inside better, any ideas? maybe the Fortress or Lian Li PC-60FW?
and..
yeah i have the cm690, i can really appreciate the work you have done there. it really is a nice case in terms of cooling, but good cable management is almost impossible. i am gona clean everything out and see if i can get it somewhere near urs.
