Just added another folding build to my collection.  Used an old Aspire X-Navigator case (circa 2004) with a SilverStone 750W psu.  Still a nice looking case with lots of cooling, in my opinion.  It once housed four EVGA 8800 GT with a MSI P6N Diamond.  Did LOTS of beta testing back in the early days of GPU clients.  Out with the old, in with the new.  The new being an Asus Z8NA-D6C with dual Hex Core E5645, Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 air cooling, and 12GB of Kingston ValueRAM.  The update only cost about $1600.00, not too bad.  Yes, my cable routing skills need some fine tuning, to say the least.  The results are pictured here.  Thanks for looking.  Fold 'em if ya got 'em!

    Nice!  I love seeing people squashing large boards into little cases.  Seems like it takes more work and thereby is worthy of the time and dedication put into it.

    Added a few more pics.  It is a standard ATX board so it is not too tight a squeeze.

    Great job, how much do you think this setup was?  I'm thinking of getting a rig solely for Folding.

    Nice rig but you're right about the cable management. Remember that if there are no cable management holes a dremel can be your best friend.

    Newegg invoice says $1643.89. So, add your own case and PSU. Or fold nekkid, your choice.

    Yeah, I really should work on my cable management more, but when the goodies arrive I just can't control the urge to put it all together to be sure it works. Then, you know, one thing leads to another and it's already burning in on its maiden unit. I'll work on it, I promise. Back from vacay already RJ?

    Thanks for the comments all. Next rig will be an SR-3 with water.
