The fan is in the middle of all that
I'll second that, although I use an Antec case - which makes a much tidier job of routing cables than yours by all accounts - excellent case with some lovely touches for stuff like that.

if you notice - I have a fan blowing IN behind it, the fan inside blowing up and a 200mm fan above blowing out.

Talk about cooling... the air flow around the CPU is enormous.

What a beast! Rather massive!

John I've gone for the 6600 Quad and the Arctic cooler like you - 3Ghz for peanuts here we come! Another mate says his runs editing software at 1400FSB and 3.2Ghz rocvk solid. That's a £1000 extra value!!!
