I like all the pictures of all these crazy homemade rigs and wall-mounted arrays, but I'd like to see what you guys have running in normal computer cases.  What I like to call "Living room miners" or "Office miners".  I'm sure there are quite a few who didn't post in the other thread simply because they don't want to post their case among these rack-mounted monsters, so I figured I'd try to start another.

My case isn't spectacular, but it has to be nice since I use it in my living room Smiley

CoolerMaster CM690 case fitted with 6 coolermaster fans and soundproofing foam.
Intel Core2 Quad Q8400 @ 3.8Ghz
Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 CPU Cooler
8GB Crucial Ballistix @1066Mhz OC'ed to 1200Mhz
ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo motherboard
2x Radeon HD 5830's crossfired overclocked GPUs @975Mhz Mem @320Mhz
---->Top card is Sapphire 5830 Xtreme, bottom card is ASUS EAH-5830 DirectCU.  The ASUS is much better!
Thermaltake 750W modular PSU
Scythe fan controller
RAID 0 with 3x Spinpoint F4's (320GB*3=960GB)
250GB Spinpoint F4
1TB External eSATA

GPU temps 67-72*C

CPU Temp 40*C

Very nice and quiet, even with all my fans maxed.  GPU fans run at 60% for my top card, 50% for the bottom one.

All my intake fans have washable filters to keep the dust out.  Works great, the inside is still spotless!

Still need to work on my cable management a bit more:
