Oh ps: that is Han's foot, hello Han's foot!

Fans blow better than they suck so I might rethink your HSF to make it blow out the back but have the fan mounted so it blows towards the fins as opposed to sucking it through them.
Whoever has the tuniq tower, nice! Is old as shit but still one of the best 755 coolers available.
I would post pics of my rig with it's lovely additions (q9550, 4gb 8500 dominator and sli9600's (stfu, they are the best in sli cards available))but I would not want to shame you with the awesome.
The mini antec is also SEXY AS FUCK. Good choice on the mobo too, I really like your build.
Oh and the cosmos, fuck you all for having sexy rigs.

Thanks for the comments & tips. Generally people tell watercoolers to put a fan onto the radiator so that it pulls the air through rather than pushing it, as you get a better throughput due to air resistance mumbo jumbo. I applied this reasoning to my HSF. I may be wrong perhaps? I am not sure. I will see how I go and also see if there is room to mount it beneath the HS (from memory I don't think I can. The northbridge HS gets in the way, which is the reason for the lateral mount in the first place.)

Heh, so I bought a bunch of parts and accidently a P180 mini to put them in (I thought is was a vanilla P180) so I went and bought a P182 so I could get it all to fit. After looking at that, est, it looks like I could have gone for an mATX motherboard instead and my 4870 would've fitted fine.
But then I would've lost out on the chance to drop another 4870 in down the track. Oh well, now I have a spare pretty case.

The LanParty Jr has Crossfire available on it. I could probably put two 4870s into this case, but the heat issues would be interesting to solve. I know people put 2x 4850s into this kind of setup, so mostly it's just making sure there's enough airflow.
