8. Does your PC live up to your expectations ?
My rig does and does not life up to my expectations. Mainly because of the ATI driver issues with Eyefinity and Quadfire. I think this will be solved in the near future, and I can start enjoying 4 GPU's, and a higher electrical bill.....
9. What's the best part of your rig?
I think the best part of my rig is that it hits the Futuremark Orb top 20, and is very suitable for daily use, and...i tried to make it look like a little piece of art, I think I succeeded.
10. What sucks and should not have been bought?
I shouldn't have bought the Sentry2 Fancontroller .Although it does a good job keeping the fans RPMs down, it makes the fans buzz, a known issue at NZXT. I am looking for something new, but i can't find something similar. NZXT has told me and other customers that they will update the next revision. I'll wait for that and see what that's like.
11. Did you modify anything ? cases/video cards/other? Did you do it yourself? Walk us through it.
I modified several things in the case.
Because I mounted a bottom radiator, I had to remove the HDD cages ,and there had to be an extra vent hole in the bottom Ii used a Lian-Li Psu extender to make some more room in he lower compartment for the rad by moving the psu out back 60 mm.2 holes for tubing in the back were drilled for tubing to the rear rad. I have 1 tube running behind the Motherboard, so i had to remove some edges in the back of the case.

13. Do you have any Future updates planned ?
As far as updating, I have an extra Intel Postville on the way to be put in RAID0, I am still looking for another fan controller, and .. I have a GTX480 on its way to me from a gtx295 RMA, maybe we'll see another rig this year with 4 of these on a P6T7 supercomputer....only time will tell!
