that's not very compressed, really, but you have done a decent job so far for sure.

 

If you want to make it very compressed you should try a micro atx motherboard and one of those small form factor cases which only take slim cards, then custom mount the video card via flexible extender over the cpu, then water cooling them both.

 

That being said, I again reiterate you have done a decent job of a computer build.

 

I don't see how anything is ghost in the shell themed, though.

 

If you want truly tightly packed, you should try something like my jatom build (named for the first motherboard in it, this is the second)

three 3.5" HDDs, three 2.5" drives, a mini itx core 2 duo mobo, space for a single width video card if I cut the holes for it's back ports in the back.  This is crammed tightly. :)
