Notes

Build Update - 3/28/2014
- Upgraded RAM from 8GB to 16GB (4 x 4GB); Corsair Dominator GT memory (CMT8GX3M2B2133C9)
- Added SLI capability; additional EVGA GTX 580 Superclock videocard installed (015-P3-1582-A1)
- Upgraded OS boot drive; installed 240GB Intel Series 530 SSD (SSDSC2BW240A4K5)

Initial Build
- Both side panels have been sound proofed using AcoustiPack Professional Sound Dampening Material (APExtS). See screenshot. Material has been custom sized, cut and installed. (http://www.acoustiproducts.com/en/acoustipack-extra-s.asp)

- Due to my need for a positive air pressure operating environment, the stock 200mm Corsair 600T case fans (x2) have been oriented for intake use only.

- This case is 100% filtered by Kenmore HVAC filter material (Model number 14916). Filters have been custom sized, cut and installed. Filtered areas include the top and front intake fans, bottom intake area as well as the bottom 5.25" dummy bay cover on the front of the case. See screenshot. (http://www.sears.com/kenmore-rotobelt-humidifier-replacement-belt/p-03214916000P)

- The original, vented rear PCI brackets that came with the 600T have been replaced with black, non-vented brackets instead. This was done to increase positive air pressure inside the chassis.

- All cabling and adapters, with the exception of the power supply and I/O wiring of the case was hand sleeved/heatshrinked using materials purchased from MDPC-X (thanks Nils!)d

Thanks to all for the terrific comments and support! Kalell.4 - The noise dampening material has increased temperatures within the chassis by about 1-2 degrees. However, because I am running a positive air pressure environment, the slight temperature increase isn't affecting system performance or stability. I am planning to swap out the two stock Corsair fans that came with the case for ones that have increased static pressure. KimbaWLion - The white system build/name is actually themed after Eva from the movie WALL-E.

Clean rig beautifual placement. Like the use of the filter material, and noise dampening - does that do anything to the ambeient temp or do you have enough positive air pressure to make that a non-issue? I am assuming you had - very creative layout.
