Just an update-
It's been up and running since immediately post-last-picture, then new sata cables, a fan controller, Vista Ultimate 64 in RAID 0, blah, blah, blah, I took pictures (it's still kind of a mess inside), but the fucking things are defying my efforts to spin them right-side up in PhotoBucket.
Aaaaaaaargh!

Use imageshack man. It's waay easier and they have a really neat toolbar
You can easily take screenshots or upload multiples from your HDD. I find it better

Okay - as is obvious, some sort of housekeeping (the time-consuming type) is in order...I am toying with the idea of treating the sata cables to a bath in boiling water in an attempt to make them more pliable during installation - smoother bends, dontcha know.
The power cables will need some sort of surgery; some transplanting/grafting is in order.
A view towards the front end - again, she's pretty full, and temp-probe leads from the controller are a bit of a dilemma; maybe I can find a variety of them somewhere to lend to neater routing.
Big hands and failing eyesight are another problem...
A general view of the floor...I may just cover it somehow.
A close-up of the new sata cabling... little bastards are stiff.
I think a hot dip may be just what the doctor ordered.
Never thought I'd abide a picture window, especially when it opens on such a bird's nest.
I'm a sucker for this stuff; it elicits such emotion I can't hold the camera still.
I think any more pic-worthy mods will be a bit slow in coming, as I will have to learn the proper surgical techniques, so.

The learning curve is steep and you are a stout person, plogless will be srow.
I could whip that baby into submission in about 4 hours.

Looking good J. You don't have to do it all at once you know. Do a little at a time and it'll be done before you know it man

Actually, I'm farting around with airflow through the front of the case - I was blocking this, opening that, and decided to momentarily remove the front cover altogether...and got a 6c drop in ambient case temp.
Much to do, I think.

A 6° drop measured from where?

About an inch-and-a-half from the top of the case, about two inches from the PSU.
Must be (I'm not looking at it just now) about three inches or so above the CPU cooling fan.
