Some pics of the kids Christmas build finished and read for software install and updates after they go to bed.

 

Case is Cougar Spike mATX case. Added a basic four channel fan controller as the MB didn't have enough headers for all the fans.

Added a Cooler Master Silent Fan 120 to front intake

Intel Pentium G3258 3.2ghz (will be overclocked), Cyrorig M9i mini tower cooler blowing air through the fins to rear exhaust fan, 2x 8GB Kingston Hyper X DDR3 memory, PowerColor R9 270 (will be overclocked to 270x specs) Wasn't much I do with cable management. Most of it is in the the drive bays with two HD's in a 2.5in to 5.25in adapter. One 320GB for OS and one 2TB for storage.

Added two more Cooler Master Silent 120 fans to side panel. Top one is intake blowing cool air into power supply. Bottom is exhausting hot air from the GPU fans. There is just enough clearance between the top fan and the M9i tower cooler to allow the side panel to back on with no problem.

Power supply is Corsair CS550M.

This case was not the easiest to cable mange, but I feel that I got the cable out of the way to allow for airflow. Even at full speed the fans are really quite.

That's a pretty solid all around build and present for 'em.

 

But yea, cable management in that case in particular is actually pretty awful, there's really no way to get it perfect in that chassis. All round though, nice job.

fans are not corsair, psu is not cm550m. Decent build though.

 

Sorry about that. I was doing three different things at once while typing the OP. Made the fixes.

Not at the moment. I had the HD's on hand already. With it being the kids computer, I wasn't concerned with getting SSD's when I had components on hand.
