Consider this your future "Demonstrator" :
 How can you go wrong? I've never OverClocked the cards so there's definitely a 20K 3D06 run in there waiting to come out

Another Dose
  I think it's very odd that the tubes glow blue and the res glows green...

Annoyed by weirdness
Well I had some circular UV CCL lights that mount on fans that I used for the build but dammit if they did not light up after I had everything installed.
Turns out after a little investigation that the switches were faulty: both switches...what are the chances. Well it was such a chore getting the PCI card holder installed that I chose not to mess with that. Instead I managed to gett the wiring undone and so on by taking off the top and side. I swapped in a 38mm deep fan on the bottom to get some more exhaust action and decided too tuck the lights up under the bottom HD 2900XT. Well I went ot boot up with the lights on and it didn't. I wasn't really thinking about it and tried repeatedly to boot. finally (by dumb luck) I turned off the lights and it booted. wanting to see my handiwork I turned on the light kits and the PC froze... Well I finally starting putting two and two together and after a cuple oof tests could see it was the light kit under the Vcards. I'd tucked the wiring up against the mobo to get it out of sight and noticed one of the leads was laying across a PVM or something...a small metallic part that looks like a lozenge-shaped capacitor. I moved the wire off the component and rebotted and tried the lights and all is well. That took about an hour to figure out--after messing about with the lights . soooo I learned NOT to rute CCL lighting too close to a motherboard. But it was worth it: the lights really bring out the Copper Top Apogee GTX and make the tubes pop. Have a look:     The red gloow of the cards id rally nice off the PSU and copper block.   The bigger fan is helping. I also relocated the TransPiper to the side of the case and mounted a fan on it.   Not entirely sure about the blue/clear filter on top. I might try out a green or red one later. My misadventure with the lights caused me to reset the CMOS so now I need to go back in and doo some clocking back to 3600. Hoping the lights are not causing any issues. My non light WU production is faster by almost double though..which I cannot tll if it's just a coincidence r not... in general UV tends to make my rigs faster

I finally got a chance to look through all the pictures throughly, and I must say it came out great. I like how the gauge looks in the front. Not to mention the fact that the case opens on the "wrong side", which totally sold me on it.
Can I see a picture, or maybe a link to the "Uber Cooler"? I have never had the pleasure of seeing this beast....

Wow, that is amazing. What do you run in it during the winter?

Sorry wrong link lol...
I have TWO uber coolers  http://www.overclock.net/2672244-post348.html This one is External but inside the house...it's making a good space heater. I killed one of my boards and am awaiting another better Yorkfield but I was running 3 OCed Quads off the one linked above. The one I mistakenly linked is cooling my main rig. The lonk above is to the one I run my techstations off.

My friends say I'm nuts, because of the stuff I do. If they seen your setup, they would think you're insane.... That is some great stuff!

The monolith is the most money I have ever spent at one time on a crazed cooling device.
It rocks the Casbah. 3 OCed quads in the mid 40C range is very respectable off a single cooler. Right now it's holding my Q6600 in POISON to 27C according to Smart Guardian and more like 40C in Core Temp (which does not work for me in Vista 64) and it's at 3600mhz Folding 24/7 Ambient is 24C.
