What do you think of the case w/90 Deg twist on the mobo? I've looked a lot at that series of case and it looks real sweet. Don't know if I have enough room for it though (it's real long). Your rig looks real good and the case looks like it has great wire management.

I have to say that the case orientation was one of the reasons I bought it. The law of thermal dynamics - heat rises, so by having all the heat exiting the top it makes perfect sense. I've heard I can increase the airflow by remocing the filters but right now its seems like there is plenty passing through the case. I will be installing my Scythe Fan Controller as soon as I get some sleeving so with the temp probes placed throughout the case I should get some good data as to in-case temps.

One of the things some people are doing is having the Fan (lower noise if you can) draw cool air across the radiator into the case and exit the heat via other fans. This may include reversing another intake fan to be exhaust. This does make the H20 system more efficient.

very nice build! super clean! with not being able to just hide the wires like in other cases i would say you did great! dont forget to get an vantage or 3dmark11 score and post your system on modsrigs.com. what kenmcc says can also be helpfull and may lower your cpu temps. it may just be me though and just can seem to like the idea about pulling hot air into (after it goes through the rad) my case. to be honest if you case has okay flow to begin with it really shouldnt matter as the p67 boards are WAY cooler(by more then 50'C on the vregs) then the older x58s and such.

Nice build, I like the tubing on the Kuehler better than the Corsair ridged one. It looks more clean to me.

Great job there - A thing of beauty Love the look of the case. I think with a few tubes and more cables it would become a bit messy though. You need to put it up into the Mod Rigs section now.. +1 from me when you do.
