Some pictures of the system:
On the front you can see my VU meter. The case is stood on a plinth partly to make it easier to move around (it has wheels underneath), and partly because it prevents huge quantities of dust being sucked off the floor by the fans and into places where it is hard to clean.
The large hole in the side panel was to allow the V1-Ultra heatsink on my old graphics card to fit, otherwise it was too wide for the case. The other holes are purely decorative.
Looks a bit like the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
The RAM has LEDs on it that flash according to memory access. In the photo they appear to be all lit at once because the exposure was quite long, but in reality only a few are lit.
Note the lack of fan on the CPU heatsink. This is possible due to both the excellent Scythe Ninja Mini heatsink and the low power consumption of the CPU (which is undervolted to reduce power consumption even further).
