Busy day today. While running errands I made it to Micro Center and bought the Hyper 212 Cooler. Temporarily used the RAM from my server so I could fire this puppy up. Yipeeeee it bootsInstalled Win7 Home Premium x64 and have spent most of the evening installing software and configuring/tweaking/disabling stuff.
And this system now formally known as............ Odin (Going to my Scandinavian roots).
@Mike029: As you can see in the pic below you can do a "North-South Install of this cooler. There is the chance of clearance issues with things like RAM. But in my setup I am using only 2 sticks which are installed in the White slots so no worries there.
BTW: The cooler is not copper or coppered colored. I think that coloring in the pic was a reflection of the wood paneling in the room.

Looks sweet. I see what you mean. I have it set like that in one of my boxes. Blowing the hot air up and out. Great pics. Odin better get crunchin.

Very very nice! Though i have to admit, my favorite part is the Lightning and Odin wallpaper in the first pic (i'm a huge Final Fantasy fan).
Very nice indeed. Maybe we should start a thread on who has built the most elegant looking system. None of mine would rate, that's for sure. I just stuff everything in the case any ol' way it fits and call 'er done.
