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

The acrylic tubes, I like how they spread the led light. It's an RGB led controlled by the Aquaero 5 underneath the tubes that changes from blue to cyan based on CPU temp.

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

I usually build things and buy stuff by thinking a lot about it, so I don't have any regrets in the future.

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

I did all modification myself, I tried to add some cinematic elements since it's an HTPC while keeping a minimal look.
I merged two LianLi cases together, I had to modify the front and the back by making the window and patching a lot of holes and make a bunch of holes for the cables. Since the two cases weren't of the same length I added two aluminium sheets and two acrylic sheets on the sides of the bottom part.I had some acrylic laser cut and engraved which I used for the heat sink fans cover, cable management, for the temp sensors stands, for the side panels as mentioned above and the back plate. I designed the spotlight, the power and reset buttons domes and had them 3D printed. I bended the acrylic pipes and gently swiped them with a piece of sand paper for making the light bleed.

Also I modified the buttons by adding leds (buttons are Seimitsu PS-14-GN-C which are usually used in arcade cabinets/sticks). In the reset button there is a blue led for the hdd activity and an orange one that is unused, In the power button there are two white leds. Sleeved the cables, painted the exterior of the case with the black grey dark color.
