5/10 generously. What happened? This is pretty bad but had a lot of potential.

Desktop is 1/10. An abomination. Alienware, IE, gadgets...

Case: I like it. (and place to upgrade)
Mobo: I don't need a 3way sli board
Cooling: Ordered a corsair h100
Cable managament: I know it sucks, but every time i'm bored I open my case and work on it.
Mouse and pad: I like the customization and love the wrist rest.
Desktop: that alienware thing is just a media player skin.
You want to see it without all the things? ok here

Good, stock cooling looks pretty ridiculous in that case. You could easily have fit all of this in an mATX case and had room to spare. Another graphics card, more drives, full-size cooler, the whole shebang. You can't under-estimate them and full-towers only bring unnecessary issues into play, like PSU cable length, weight, size, etc. Since you have an mATX board, you won't even be able to take advantage of the space for cards. Also, I personally just hate riced desktops.

It all looks a little, tight in that case; in which isn't very pretty;)

Um, the specs themselves could be better, but I guess it depends on what you built it for?
