Finally put together this afternoon - all went together pretty well and started up first time without the usual error beeps! Very quiet (without any load - no o/s installed yet), and temps all pretty good after running for a few hours.
It's designed to be as quiet as possible - no fancy graphics cars yet - so it's just a 2.66 core2quad with Cogage 140mm Fan, 4gb DDR3 1333mhz ram, Gigabyte GA-EP43T-UD3L motherboard, 500gb seagate system drive and 1tb hitachi storage, Zalman ZM600-ST 600W power supply, 512mb ATI4350 video card, Zalman fan controller, and a couple of Fractal Design 80mm fans. A copy of windows 7 will be bought shortly, along with an RME RayDat soundcard, which I'm still saving the pennies for!
It's in a 4u rack-mount case - just over 40cm deep so it fits in a small rack case.
cool. i have never actually seen an assembled case like that.
