My new Desktop PC, more like Walltop

I am finishing setting up my brand new Desktop PC system. One think you can easy spot, it is not quite the desktop machine you can find in the office

This walltop-PC, a special breed of mine, is nothing spectacular on specs but it is impressive enough

Check the order-list:
Huntkey ATX 2.2 GREEN STAR 12 cm fan controlled voeding 550 watt, 20/24 pins,PCI-E, 2 x S-ATA 36,58 1 36,58
Foxconn AM2+ A7DA-S VS/GL/1394/HDMI 96,14 1 96,14
Kingston Valueram/1GB 800MHz DDR2 CL6 DIMM 13,11 2 26,22
Arctic Cooling CPU koeler Freezer 64 Pro PWM (socket 754,939, AM2) 19,96 1 19,96
AMD CPU :Phenom X3 8650 BOX 2.3GHZ 95W 69,90 1 69,90
ICIDU ACC :Hard Disk Protector\3.5i\black 7,95 1 7,95
Samsung HDD : 1TB 32MB SATA (SpinPoint F1) 70,90 1 70,90
Cooler Master Thermal Compound 4,95 1 4,95

Check the pictures below:

And .. if you are one of these ALL other people looking in dismay… NO there is nothing wrong of him not having a clothes
in fact this improves cooling. Besides Box/Tower/Desktop/Cases just gather dust and waste space. In this case all you have to do on (maintenance/cleaning-dust) is to blow him from time to time, or her if that makes blowing any easier
The two build-on buttons reset/power-on on the mother board turned quite helpful too.

So.., I did finish assembling it in less than 5 min. Next day, I hooked my PHILIPS burner and started loading some OS. Some in this case was Ubuntu 9.04. The system was up and running perfect, so far so stable. Only the 3D Ati HD3300 required some ati.com proprietary drivers. the 3xCores were kicking quite nice too. the temperature on the CPU, thanks to the Freezer Pro cooler, was completely cool on the touch. same for the 550W Huntkey power supply. My only concern so far is the North-bridge / video AtiHD3300 common shared heat-sink construction, both quite heating and playing video-games makes it much worse.
