This is so cool, I have 3 cpu fans now xD and I used the red LED from my front panel on my case to light up the "RADEON HD 4870" on my graphics card and the blue to light up my PCI slot fan and it looks super cool!

hahaha

I decided to go with that, before I read this actually.

What I did was installed risers and then placed the mobo atop a sheet of anti static plastic that was originally a bag for the mobo to be shipped in. It still looks nice too

I find it better caseless. I did find better temperature when I did I have rig. It dropped a few C's. As for the dust part, it didn't get any much dustier than inside the case. It depends where you put the case. If you have carpet, much likelier to have more dust.

I used a techstation, but I don't know where I bought it. You can also leave it on a piece of wood.

One thing abotu caseless, make sure you don't accidently fall on it or touch anything while it's on. I was so scared I might trip while walking to my desk and hit it or any children. Stupid warning, but oh well.

I put it right next to my keyboard/mouse on the top of my desktop so that I wouldn't have that problem, because I have a dog and she loves to lay down right at the bottom of my desk were my case sat, so she would cause alot of fur problems and maybe even break something or hurt herself, so I put it in a safe spot. Thanks for the tip though, I appreciate any

No problem. I guess that image host doesn't allow any hotlinking.

My fans were the scariest part for the case, I always felt like putting my finger there.

If you can, you can try to exhaust air from the bottom of the motherboard, that can also help cooling.

Sadly, I placed it next to a wall, I wonder if cooling could have been better if not next to the wall. The fans were blowing toward the wall.
