9. What's the best part of your rig?

The cooling power; yet still silent enough. I was able to achieve high overclock @4.8ghz while maintaining the heat at around mid 50 on load since I’ve delidded the CPU. With the aesthetic, the hard work on laser cut acrylic of the panel really paid off and it keeps the rig intact with the theme (crop circle theme).

10. Any dislikes, things you should not have bought?

I should’ve gone with even a thicker rad, yes! Thicker! But its all just greed!

11. Did you modify anything ?  cases/video cards/other? Did you do it yourself? Walk us through it.

Yes pretty much 80% of the mod I did it myself other than the pedestal which I bought from third party. From the acrylic cover I’ve designed it as removable so that It can be easily detach for maintenance, the LED which is controllable with remotes and also some painted components like the radiators and acrylic. And of course a bit of nip and tuck here and there with my dremel, jigsaw, ruler and scotch tape. Even make the window panel bigger and replace the acrylic with real glass, custom sleeved cables and not to forget the custom (hand drawn design) laser cut acrylic panel on the pedestal and at the top.
