sorry for the crappy picture quality, all I have is my cell phone camera
Anywho, just spent some time cleaning up my cables, let me know what you think
Looks extremely neat, nicely done. And yes, your picture quality is horrendous.
so is "rate my cables" kind of like "hot or not" for computers?

Yes, feel free to join in
@Kerm: Thanks. I would like a camera, but if I had $100-200, I'd buy another 500GB drive first, then a new video card, then etc... 
Good job with the cables, looks like they're out of the way of everything. That heatsink in the center terrifies me though. Was it really expensive?

Depends on what you call "expensive" - it was pretty standard price for higher-end air cooling ($50-$60, can't remember exact price). It is a 120mm fan in there, by the way, surrounded by copper and heat pipes 
Keeps mah CPU nice and cool (usually my CPU is running cooler than my north bridge, actually, hehe)

Ah, is that the cooler than you linked to on NewEgg when we were discussing your processor upgrades.
Yes, the Thermaltake V1
Ah nice, one of my friends has a similar case, but with a slightly different port arrangement on the top.

It is a bit harder when your PSU is on the bottom though.
Not really. Some things will be harder (mobo 24-pin comes to mind if yours is near the top), while others easier (hard drives and video cards). I notice you have a bunch of cables that aren't connected to anything - the whole point of a modeler PSU is to just not connect those cables in the first place...
The 900 is a nice case, though - and I think I did good picking out all those parts and PSU if I do say so myself
