Default Finally I7 build complete...(updated)
First I want to thank all of you for inspiration, mostly those who have taken time to post their pictures on "rate my cables'. I don't think I can ever do what has been accomplished on that forum...cable wise. Secondly I can't believe I owe anything to MSI, however if they hadn't sold me a non-posting p7n diamond mobo I may have not seen the light of an I7 build till next year. And finally all my purchases were made based on information from this web site, constantly trolling the online deals forum, I was notified about a 200 I7 DO at microcenter. Picked up 3tb from dell for 212, however I was charged for and recieved 6tb!!!!!!! So I will probaly be updating my GFX when kotor comes out, thats realy all I'm waiting for and will pick up windows 7 in the fall....Will be changing system specs soon, and thanks again y'alll

Looks nice inside. Cable management looks good.

Great work

I know the zalman isn't known for cooling (read it here at OCN), and only OCN members know it . 99% of people I personally know don't even know what to think when they see this set-up Knowing that I wanted to get something I thought had a little more "flash" while also getting something somewhat functional and I thought the Zalman balanced both of what I was looking for. Hope that offers some light in to the thinking of my build and appreciate ALL the responses.

Big thanks Dopamin3, Zalman needed some fix'n

Nice setup buddy. As the users above said, i think the cooler isn't mounted properly. For general use that cooler is fine, but for overclocking Zalman isn't the best.

Sorry for the double post, but "Zipperhead", your running 6GB of 1600 ram and your using XP SP3? Is it 32-Bit?
