10. What sucks and should not have been bought?

On this system nothing sucks , except the MSI Eclipse motherboard is not 100% my favorite. Why? Well a hot IOH (x58 chipset) , I had to mod it.
 

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

Like I said , the IOH on my motherboard got a 40mm fan on it and the pushpins are replaced with screws and bolts and new cooling paste.
Everything is modified , water-cooling on cpu , gpu , radiators on my case + reservoir , etc....
Had to drill 3 holes in my case for the water-cooling .
Put noise absorbing carpet in the case and sleeved the cables of the fans with UV red sleeving.
Adjusted the 5.25"bay's so I could install my water-cooling pump there.
Maybe the pictures say more then words.

13. Do you have any Future updates planned ?

Upgrades planned ? No , this time I will wait for the new Intel / AMD and NVIDIA / ATI series. The current series aren't so mind blowing from what I have now.
