UPDATED 2/14/06
Well I finally got off my butt and got some pictures. I did some really crappy wire management, but it looks better than before. Pre-modded case, I'll post more pictures once I start modding. Here are some before and after pics of the water cooling.
Sorry about the blurriness, my camera is crappy and doesn't work well with lights.

NOTE - These pictures are OLD. I have done much better wire management and have yet to take pics.
BTW: The ambient temp for my water-cooling results should be 75*F, not 75*C. My thermometer doesn't read Celsius (well I haven't looked for a setting to change it yet).
