Aah, I See. Thanks for Clearing that Up For Me!
A small update for today.
Mounted everything on my selfmade benching case/table.
Made some pictures of this and also installed windows 7 on the Crucial M4.

Never say "download the latest drivers and throw the driver disk away!" (like Linus) cause this Windows 7 button rocks! And there are pretty cool wallpapers on the DVD too, maybe gonna post them later, they are really really cool!
So as you can see, it looks fantastic!
The stock intel cooler is installed just for comparison too the Mugen 2 and later too the custom watercoolingkit.
However, I am not very satisfied of the red plexi on the green leds, there is a big difference in colour but you can still see a bit of green coming through (maybe not visible on picture but in real life it is) So going to look for an other solution, maybe cover the whole thing up, cause I'm afraid of soldering other leds on the pcb.
Also made an unboxing of the 3770K

@wassupdoc: Thanks for the tip, did make it flush, but didn't make a picture of it.
Yes, do like yours, and the wallpaper and chrome theme are awesome!
