If you really wanted to you could probably just get some 5.25" converters and mount your HDD's in the optical drive bays, then mount the SSD behind the motherboard tray with some double-sided tape and call it a day.
The cable sleeving went all wrong
At the begining I was going for black/white theme (apart from the brown MOBO 
), but sadly the choice for, custom and/or specific parts, such as the cables, LEDs etc., is very limited, where I live and the shipping is expensive, also the only white RAM, cost almost twice so after I bough my GPU i decided to go black and blue. Also someone sayd that it is easy to put the HDDs in the 5.25", but I suggest they try to find the parts, they want in Bulgaria, then we can speak again.
There is NZXT White LED strip (1 m) inside.

Ok the Arc Mini is no more, I moved the parts in my Xigmatek Aquilla, also upgraded my graphics card. As you can see it is Palit GTX 770 2GB OC edition, I bought it on sell and it was for 760 money. I still have to sort out the cable management tho, but I'm happy with the way it turned out.

My PC is back in the FD case, Mini R2 this time and the build is starting to come together nicely. I finaly got myself nice MOBO and CPU, also got nice red Corsair cables and waiting on my Vengence Pro Red to arrive.
Don't mind the dust, soon I'll take everything out and clean it, so I can send the case for custom painting. I'm also considering water cooling both the CPU and the GPU.

Nice blog on your build! I must ask why did you go back to your Fractal case? Was the other one too small? it looked good
The reason is, you can't fit modular/semi modular PSU longer than 150mm in it, also I want to water cool both the CPU and GPU and with mATX board, you can fit only one 240mm (and possibly one 120mm) rad without modding it.
I didn't have TIM, when I put it together and still forgetting to buy some
Can anyone recommend good one?

Arctic MX-4 is decent enough and available in most places for a good price.

Arctic MX-2. Works great and no burn-in period is required like with the mx-4
Almost all of the stores(online ones), where I live, have the same stuff(TIM), so my choice really is: COOLERMASTER IC Essential E1, COOLERMASTER IC Essential E2 and Arctic Silver 5 and I do not want to pay shipping on thermal paste (the shipping on the otherwise AWESOME Corsair cables, set me back enough) so out of these 3, which one is the best?

Mx-4 doesn't need a burn in period..

IC Essential E2 looks fine. I dont like AS 5 personally.

Nice little build.
Now what really would have brought this rig to the next level was for you to take the old leaf-blower, vacum-cleaner and dust cloth and put it to use on your pc, keyboard....the whole room.
Djeeeez.

As I said in a previous post, I'll take the whole PC apart, clean it and send the case for paint job, as for the room it's pointless, since I'm waiting on some final paperwork and I'll destroy half of the house, to rebuild it (an earthquake made some serious damage, right after I bought the house :| )
