It is always good to see inside the world of the kittyman.
Your i7 looks exactly like mine (maybe slightly more "rough" though) - same HDD slot, same ODD slot, same HS, same CPU fan. And it even looks like you've taken the liberty to remove the PCI-E slots to vent air further, just like I did (but never actually revealed here).

But even a kitty lover like myself has to ask, WTF is up with the kitties on the GPU in the Frozen Nehi? LOL.

As many know... here is my i7 (when not crunching SETI@home, it does very well at Crysis).
First boot, no case fans running:


Installing W7:


After a second time inside the case:


What it looks like now (taken at request of Sicituradastra team forums):


I love these boards.

The kitties watch over all I do.
They keep an eye on the Nehi too.

They don't call me the kittyman for nothin'...

Alright, I usually don't participate in these sorts of threads, but I feel like it this time.

glowing in a dark room (not actually that bright, it was a... 4-second exposure)

and..

A look inside..

Both of those pictures are for my main cruncher

I'm pretty sure it is....a rather old case, I've got 3 of them I think.

The Frozen Nehi and i7 920 rigs are in Enermax Uber Chakra cases from Newegg.
I had to find something larger because the R2E mobo is larger that a standard ATX and I needed a bit more real estate to work with.

Here is a shot of my main system, server, notebook, & an old P3 1.4Ghz with an ATI 3850 in it I'm playing with



A couple close up shots.

I was going to get a photo of my media PC in the living room. However it would seem someone needs to charge their camera....

and yes. I like Mac keyboards.

Until they become extinct (not likely, because Unicomp still has them in production..) I will always use a 42h1292 clicky.

That's a Thermaltake M9 case housing my E8400. It was about $80 when I ordered it from amazon in June. The version with the plexi window is cheaper for some reason.
The only issues I have with it is the depth is a bit short. That or my video card is just rather long.

Amazing, all of you!!! I was running CUDA for a while but the power bills were out of hand (power is insane where I live). I give all of you credit for not only investing the money into these machines but also paying for the power to make them crunch. Plus with my marine reef aquarium 700w lighting system & 500w heater not to mentions the pumps I figured I should cut back to the CPU's for now :) The office machines run ATI, I am waiting for an app for that! (my office so I can run it w/o worries, plus cheaper electricity) Keep up the amazing work!
