ur missing a lot of things thats define a MDPC tho.

Wiretap.. first off you need to sleeve your psu cables the murder mod style. For you to do that, you need a "zombie mode" switch in your brain to save you from going BSOD after the 4th pin.

Also, the GPU would need to be watered.

MDPC's arent all in parts, its weighted very heavy on looks.

Not saying yours isnt the looker, but its missing some of the finer details in a MDPC.

Murder modding every PSU cable would have made a mess inside because of the limited room for the PSU to fit.. and it wouldn't have enough room to make the tight bend. With an all internal setup, the slim double radiator would not have enough cooling capacity for the GPU + CPU.

It is modular... there's literally only an inch of room between the PSU and the 5.25'' bays. Sleeving a 24 pin connector almost doubles the side of it.

Just curious... If the rad were enough to handle GPU + CPU, is there enough room around the 5870 for barbs/tubing? It doesn't look like you have enough clearance for something like this: http://photos.dangerden.com/GPU-Blocks/Summit-5870-and-5850/10101615_LmfF5#693649516_7FusX Of course, a lone gpu block with sinks for the RAM and VRM chips might work of you had room for the tubing (and the rad to handle it).

There isn't enough room above the 5870 to put the waterblock unless you took out the hard drive bays.. or at least cut off the bottom one.

Murder mods PSU wiring looks hideous to me. It's like the box was invaded by Medusa. :p

I prefer the clean look of 60s style avionics equipment. ;)
