I don't have a garden
Yeah I'm gonna clean it up when it's 100% done and polish it too. Right now tho got quite a few things left to do
@Ham: fit X-Fi (inc cover whoever does that for me), fit my RAID array then dremel up some Alu for some more covering of stuff. Some more UV water dye and a few finishing touches. Looks like I have to remount the apogee as the temps aren't great too

Some people wanted to see what the NB looked like before I cleaned it up:
I used plenty of tissues at first as there was so much, then some TIM and a clean cloth when it got to reasonable levels.

I have been fiddling around with the OC and managed to get this @ 1.55v, not too bad imo.
The RAM's currently running 2T @ 400MHz, though I can get 1T @ 400MHz and also 500MHz @ 2T 4-5-4-15
3600Mhz gets a bit toasty so I backed off trying to get that stable @ around 1.63v
EDIT: More screenshots tomorrow

And a shot @ 3600.
Like I said this needs volts to get high and temps are "ok" but not amazing. Need phase

@ post #203 - I don't get it! 3.3ghz @ 1.55v, load temp of 50 deg C is... gulps... not that good! I only say this as when I ran 3.3 it was @ 1.45v, load temp low 40's - that was orthos/prime/sp32 etc stable...
I have since ran 3.5ghz @ 1.575 for 10hrs f@h (plus some gaming at the same time) with no probs, load temps of low 50's! (have a screenie to post at home) However, this is not orthos/prime stable! Might go with this anyway...
3.6 @ same volts was stable for a few hours of f@h whilst gaming but crashed when playing a movie! Go figure! I didn't realise 1.6--v's could be needed/done!
Today i'm leaving it a 3.55, same volts (1.575) to f@h all day... guess we will see if it's still running when I get back, then I'll do a whole load of benchies etc and see if it crashes!
Noo, wait. I just remembered you just got the new mobo - I reckon you can defo lower those volts!

Mine is 100% Orthos (8hrs), Dual Prime (again 8hrs) and F@H stable @ 1.55v. No one CPU will OC the same and this is a very early Rev B core retail E6600 so it doesn't clock well.
I have tested this CPU on 6 different motherboards and it displays the same behaviour on each 1, though the DFI need 0.025v less than others.
I know what my chip can do thanks

lol didn't mean it like that
Ye I will only consider it a stable OC when it's Dual Prime/Orthos stable, otherwise it crashes randomly and I may be doing somethng important.
I do want phase, but have run out of money now

Right then big bundle of stuff from our good friends at SpecialTech
I did manage to forget to ask them for Green UV Dye tho
Sexy carbon fibre - real carbon fibre
My X-Fi card had an IDE like wire but I had to make it better
Some more should be coming tomorrow - hopefully all i'll need then to finish is some green UV Dye.
Oh ye and my case now has wheels

Right well I got the CF off of eBay. The bloke cuts it to size for you. High-quality automotive Carbon Fibre 
Got the insides fairly sorted. Damn annoying that the nice short IDE cable ST got me wasn't quite long enough to fit
Still the lil green Sata cable was
The OCZ cooler didn't fit either due to the board having the RAM slots in a weird place. Getting tempted to use my 680i board in my main PC...
Here's the finished insides:
Not too bad imo.
Fitted wheels to the old girl and put the cathode switch out of the bottom of the case so I can turn em off easier:
