July 31: White NZXT 24pin sleeve came in! Getting there.
Re-arranged the wiring of the HDDs, too. Moved them to top 140 for better cooling.
August 5: 7950 showed up! It's one of those swanky XFX Ghost ones; I sanded off the top bracket to make it silver instead of red. Took a long time because I only had superfine grit.
Looking good.
Case, closed. Sitting with the Mayor.
Aaaaand, final pic for now.
Final cost was around $10 under $1,000.
