My new computer in works.....

When I originally joined my Alienware computer was ordered. I canelled the order and decided to build my own system. It is not fully complete. I have the memory, raptor hd, and the cpu at home waiting to be installed, just have not had anytime. Here is what I have with the most current pic.

Apevia(ASP) X-Discovery Caste/Tower
ECS Nforce 570 SLI-T A V5.1 775 Motherboard
Two (2) Nvidia 7900GT OCed videocards
WD Rapter 74G Harddrive 10000 rpm
WD Cavier 500G Harddrive 72000 rpm w/16m cache(Got a smoking deal. 149.00- new egg sells for 269)
2g Corsair XMS2 PRO PC5400 Memory
Antec-Neo He 550 Watt/SLI ready Power supply
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 with Artic Freezer 7 cooling

and of course the Dvd-Rom/Writer, accessories and monitor.
That is the best I can do with wiremanagement. No room to hide anything else.

Don't ask why unless you want to join them.
I've heard that the 570 chipset isn't the best overclocker. But I don't know if you're going to want to overclock or not, or I might have heard wrong. Good luck with the rest of the build.

You could try to carefully spraypaint the drives silver.

Personally I like an all black system with all black periphials(keyboard mouse monitor)
