Excuse the quality, they're smartphone shots. Specs are in my sig.
Case (NZXT Phantom 410), Blu-Ray burner is behind a door
Overview of interior
Backside
Cable management
No GPU right now as the build's primary use is photo/video editing, but I'd like to add in a GTX-650 TI within the next few months.

If it makes you feel better, I could put in the midrange GPU from my 6 year old OEM built Dell, but honestly the performance would probably be worse than the 3770k's integrated graphics.
I've been really impressed by the Phantom 410's cable management, cooling, abd overall functionality, it really is an excellent case. Not only that, but it's pretty damn classy looking if you ask me. The white reminds me of an old car from the '50s, all it's missing is the chrome accents.

Bought a Fractal Design R4 on a whim today. 
God I love the Phantom.
When I upgraded to a 2500K I too didn't have a graphics card for a month or two, I was using the onboard HD 3000 graphics and they were perfectly acceptable, didn't have a problem with them at all (apart from the buggy graphics drivers but I solved that by using an older driver which wasn't buggy). I got the 5870 because I wanted to start playing games and it was the best thing I could get for 100 quid.
Not everybody needs a graphics card because not everybody wastes their whole life on games.
God I love the Fractal cases too.Bought a Fractal Design R4 on a whim today.
Some great looking systems here guys! :good:

Wohoo you can't see the dust too badly in the shots below!
Ahh... yeah look at the dust!!
And yes, I know the cable management isn't the best.
Ouuch, bad cable management
. Finally someone with as bad cable management as myself .I didn't know you had a backplate on your radeon? Does it improve your cooling much?
Yeah the reference 5870s all had backplates on them. It probably improves it a little as my card seems to idle at about 30/31C which is a lot lower than some of the other cards which I've owned in the past did.
Hmm the cable management is OK but I really wish I could get my 24 pin power cable behind the board tray, but it won't fit.
