I have change the organization inside the case and replaced or added some parts.

I have replaced the 4 Raptor with 4 x 500GB disks (1 Samsung and 3 Seagate) still in RAID 0.
I have replaced the Asus U3S6 card adapter with a my FastTrak TX4660 controller to manage the RAID 0 with the 4 x 500GB Disks.
I have plugged the DVD writer on a 3Gb/s Sata controller of the MB.
I have plugged the Tray-less single-bay on a 6Gb/s Sata controller of the MB.
I have plugged the USB connector of the Tray-less single-bay also on the MB (it was previously not used).
I have added a FlexCage MB973SP-B Tray-Less 3×3.5″ in 2×5.25″ SATA HDD Cage.
I have moved the 2x1TB Disk into that cage and plugged them on two 3Gb/s Sata controller of the MB.
I have plugged that last tray of that cage on one of the 6Gb/s Sata controller with SSD Caching support of the MB.
I have reused one of the Kingston Hyperx SSD plugged on the second 6Gb/s Sata controller with SSD Caching support of the MB.
And I have pulled all the cables behind the motherboard so I have now more place to access the devices inside the case.

I have upgraded Chaos:

The two Kingston HyperX SSD in a RAID 0 have been replaced with one single SSD Samsung 840 Pro. This one is much faster than the RAID 0.
The two nVidia GeForce 8800 GT in SLI used for gaming have been replaced with one nVidia GeForce GTX 760 which support 3D and is much faster than the SLI for gaming! My new monitor Asus VG278HR 27” is plugged on the new nVidia GeForce GTX 760? And although I could plug 3 monitors on that GTX 760, I kept one nVidia GeForce 8800 GT to manage the other ones.
