I stole the SSD mount idea from the Corsair dream PC on NCIX Tech Tips. So not really my idea but I am pretty happy with how it turned out.
Ah NCIX Tech Tips! Gotta love Linus!

Oh, good, so now I can steal it.
Yeah I've seen pretty much all of his videos, he's an inspiration to me. His rig is just insane.His channel is so good. Have you seen his personal rig at all?
Will look a lot cleaner once you get a new case. You'll have some cable management then and hopefully a black interior. Silver interiors aren't always bad though - looks OK with my Core 2 Quad machine.
I got sick of the lack of cable management so in early August I cut some holes in the board tray to allow for proper cable management.
Need to get a new PSU for this rig, currently has a generic 650W one but it has neon lights in it!
But anyway, yeah... what case are you planning to get, Byte? Are you going to get a beefier GPU too?

Yup, 7950 CFX is what I'm planning, along with a 3570k, a dell 1440p monitor that costs 800 dollars with the new screen tech 27 inches, a nice $500 speaker setup sith sound card, and probably a Corsair 900D if the rumors are true.
Good luck with that.
Why not get one 7950 and save a bundle? They're very fast cards. Denther means basically "you won't be able to afford it"
And James, the holes are fine, I sanded them down so they're smooth.
Believe me, a 7950 is going to last you a while, and later down the road you can get another cheap one if you like.
Why not just spend more and get a 7970 or a GTX 680?
Overcooked? I know computers get hot, but not THAT hot!!?? lol
At the end of the day it's your decision, but I'd go for a single 7950 or 7970 or 680 or whatever and spend less on your speakers and put the money to chocolate instead.
You want some bass then? I wouldn't spend 500 on speakers myself, I'd rather spend the money on something else. My speakers were like £30 and have a nice sub that can give some kick. I'm not suggesting you cheap out, but bear in mind alternatives are available.
