Decided to name it F-117 Nighthawk (Stealth Bomber) because of the look. The monitors, keyboard, case all go together in the style. Didn't add any cathodes back to the case and I still need to paint the back panel's inside black. I think I may add 2 cathodes to the top eventually, still not sure though the complete black look is pretty appealing at the moment.
Took me a whole day to figure out the proper settings to get this thing to 4.02GHz, all I really wanted was 4GHz. Had a lot of BSOD 1033 errors as well, not sure why it gave me that error. I think its pretty stable at the clocks/voltages now and safe, if anyone thinks different please feel free to comment. Also if anyone has any suggestions on how to get to 4.2 safely feel free to comment.
Temps are ok;however, I would really like to bump the rpm on my pump to 1500 or 1600... Just wish I knew how, probably need more bios tinkering.

When picking the parts I wanted it all to fit in the "stealth" look.

Making the 5970 look even bigger than it really is! LOL
