A very clean build
Out with the old white and silver version of the akasa eclipse 64, and in with the new 750D 
(very happy with this case).
I still need some new cables though to match the blue/black theme aswell as some new fans to match my cpu fan so this isn't the final finished build, but I just transferred my parts over today.
Also, my new black fan controller hasn't arrived yet, so if you are wondering what the silver box is next to my hard drive cage, its two akasa jr fan controllers just as temporary. its not as clean cable wise as you pro's but im happy with what I have so far, it this case puts my old one to shame!! I used to run the side panel off my old eclipse 64 as the air cooling was shocking, so
it was a absolute dust magnet. and now in this 750d, the temperatures are lower than they was before, even with a side panel on. very impressed.
Also, this case makes my new 24" Asus monitor look tiny!!!
(Re-uploaded images, last one didn't work for some reason)
750D time!

I just got my new fan controller installed turns out it was delivered to my neighbour, so here she is! looking neater now, I can't wait to get some new cables, one of them corsair generation cable kits, and some new black sata cables, and mainly new af140 quite edition fans, and two fans for on the roof of the case. then when funds are climbing again, going to grab a corsair H110 water cooler for the cpu equipped with the two 140's im getting for the roof of the case. Cant actually remember the last time I was this excited about my computer, went through the phase of put as many neons and led fans that's possible in a case in 2003, then in 2007 went for the not bothered what it looks like as long as it has power. now iv taken up this trend of make it look stylish and neat! though it costs a lot of money to do so haha.
Also if you wonder why only one graphics card is lit up, I have ulps enabled, I think its a great feature for desktop use

Thank you
Me too and that is why I haven't replaced it since I got it in 2008. But I think this build is probably the last, then a newer CM 690 revision will replace it,Actually no ! in this warm summer weather with 28°c in the room and with a small OC to 941MHz core on the cards and power target set to 102% linked with temperature target to 84°c, the top and middle card never goes over 84°c and they still maintain a big GPU boost of around 1050Mhz core on all cards. Normally they stay around 80°c while the bottom card is slightly cooler.
Might be hot, but it's looking good doing so
See the answer to Apem
they actually do great ! Much better then my friend who had 3x Evga GTX 780 SC ACX cards in 3 way SLi in corsair 900D. His middle at top card reached around 95~99°c making the cards throttle. He went 2 way SLi instead and threw the 3rd card in another rig The 780 nvidia reference coolers are perfect for 3 way sli on air !

crowe, is that a simple thin piece of glossy perspex you have on the floor covering the hard drive slots?

New case that I got today
Excellent cheers! Look at all that room to play with!
I guess I'm never going to find a case with the SATA dock built in any more so might as well just buy a USB3 SATA docking station that I use for the backup HDDs instead.
