The system is also water cooled, I won't bother to list the parts since only one or two of you will know what I'm talking about. The cables are individually sleeved black and UV green. The tubing for the water is UV reactant black. The reservoir has a green helix with a UV cathode in the center, and there are two cathodes mounted on the top and the bottom of the case.
The GTS 250 is temporary, I've ordered a PNY GTX 480 and it's shipped out and should be in my system this weekend. I may or may not keep the GTS 250 inside for physx, even though I definitely won't need to.

EDIT: The pictures are all up now, lots of the building steps. I also have been pressured to include my friend David who kept all the parts at his apartment (they wouldn't have fit in my dorm room) and did a lot of work on the computer itself (he had tools so he cut the holes in the case and did a bunch of the sleeving).
Total price: $4190.90
