The major components in both iterations are:
CPU: Intel Q6600 2.4GHz (undervolted to 1.075v)
MB: Gigabyte P35-DS3R-F4
HDD: Samsung T166 HD501LJ
HDD Enclosure: Scythe Quiet Drive (with AcoustiFeet on the bottom)
VGA: Gigabyte GV-NX79G256DP-RH GeForce 7900GS
RAM: Kingston KVR667D2N5K2/2G
SOUND: M-Audio Revolution 5.1
PSU: Seasonic S12 430 (with Yate Loon D12SL-12 undervolted to 5v)
VGA Cooling: Thermalright HR-03 (with Nexus DF1209SL-3 undervolted to 7v)
CPU Cooling: Scythe Ninja SCNJ-1100P Rev.B
The first iteration was housed in a modified Lian Li PC-7A. It had one Yate Loon D12SL-12 undervolted to 5v as an exhaust fan. To simplify cable management, I used an LG GSA-H62N because it has an SATA interface.

I wasn't as comfortable with the PC-7A as I was with the PC-V1000, so I moved the system into a PC-V1000A Plus II. One Nexus D12SL-12 undervolted to 5v is serving as the intake fan in the rear of the chassis. In this iteration, cable management was made easier by using an LG GSA-H42N because it has a PATA interface, and I already had an 6" round IDE cable (which I forgot to add before I took these pics).

I took this last pic for anyone who wanted a closer look at the clearance between the Ninja, northbridge heatsink, and the RAM. It ended up with the RAM being the focal point.

Another reason I went back to the V1000 is that it has great cooling capacity with minimal airflow. I can still run the Nexus at 5v with the Q6600 installed.
Idle:
Tjunct (Tcore): 40(25)C 38(23)C 38(23)C 43(28)C
Load:
Tjunct (Tcore): 65(50)C 61(46)C 61(46)C 65(50)C
Temperatures were obtained using OCCT/Speedfan and Core Temp.
Not great temperatures, but well below the operating limits of the CPU.
