My media center motherboard went out last weekend so I just said screw it and built a new one. I know this is a little overkill, but I didint want to replace my q6600 with a dual core, so I went i5 750. Build went together nice, it was just all cramped in that case. I reused everything but the motherboard, cpu, and ram. It is slightly overclocked, just to get the memory to 1600 mhz. I will try and get some better pics.

    Nice build! I love seeing people's cable management in tiny cases like that, yours looks very good.

    IS the cpu fan origionaly not have all its fins or did you have to remove them so it could fit in the case?

    It has all of its fins, I just had to bend them to make it fit in the case.  I know its not ideal but its better than the stock cooler.  I had it laying around the house.
