I posted pictures of my Antec 900 a long time ago in this thread (December 2007).
Anyways since then not too much has changed but I will be ordering a GTX 260 at the end of next week and I have upgraded my PC some since then.
The previous post has the before when I had a E6550 with stock cooling.
I have now replaced all 120mm fans with 3 Scythe Kaze-Jyuni 110CFM. I have replaced the CPU with a E8400 overclocked to 4.0Ghz running around 40c idle and 52c on load. I am using a TRUE Black with a modded Thermalright fan duct. For lighting I am using 1 12" and 1 4" blue cathode.
I have blocked all airflow from the side vent because I do not want to interrupt the flow of air from the front of the case to the rear. I liked the look of the mesh so in order to stop any air from entering or exiting the case there I used a paper sleeve protector for 8.5x11 paper and cut it so that it would double in side so cover the vent. I then cut the areas of the window that went behind it so that the screws with tighten correctly and hold the mesh in place. It came out alot better than expected and a lot better than I originally had it before I replaced the side panel. I had the replace the side panel because the window started cracking.
