Okay well after all that bitching, I managed to get the power supply untangled without ripping the seal on the case to the power supply, so my warranty won't be voided. I got all the cables to come out neatly, and in a straight forward fashion like how it should be. I installed it into my system today and it came out pretty good. Not as good as my old Coolermaster since the cables are shorter, and aren't sleeved either. I decided to ditch the sleeving idea cause its too much work, and I really don't feel like doing it. It was enough work untangling all the wires, so I decided to leave the wires unsleeved.
Anyway here is a picture of how it looks installed in my system.
Antec P180 with TruePower-II 550W installed...
The 4 pin motherboard connector wasn't long enough to hide behind the motherboard. That really is the only thing I wish I could change. Everything else is fine with me though. If only that cable was about 2" longer, I coulda got it under the motherboard.

I've been wondering that VERY SAME THING MD !!!
Let's hope Dynamix posts some revised pictures after he installs his 12V extender cable.

Clean Install, very nicely cabled, but could do without the rice.

I still can't believe you've got a 3000 oc'ed to 2.6 with a (technically) fanless cooler. That's a testament to how good that case is I suppose.

Question for you....
In your original setup you had the 4 pin ATX power connector running underneath your mobo, but with your new setup you have it running on top.......Is this because the original PSU was sleeved and this new one isn't? Is it safe to run ANY power cables sleeved or unsleeved under the motherboard? I guess I am worried about the wires scraping against the mobo and exposing wires and possibly shorting something out or maybe EMI?

The cable management is so damm good that Alienware or Falcon Northwest should hire you to build their systems.
Have you ever considered painting the exterior, is it possible with your case I wonder.

My concern is with my 7800GTX OC getting enough air from the outside to cool it off.
I don't plan on inserting drives in the middle drive cage so I figure that the air drawn in from the front 120mm fan that pretty
much is in line with my video card "should" provide enough cool air to blow across the video card.
