8. Does your PC live up to your expectations ?
For sure, I am more than happy with it. I am really happy with the cooling (for air that is) with only 3 fans my 480's idle @ 39 (stock clocks) and my 920 idles @ 39 (3.8 ghz).

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

The best part of my rig is how easy it is to take to LAN parties.......lol. No, the best part for me is it's a little different than a regular case, and I wanted just the main components showing. 

10. What sucks and should not have been bought?

The only thing that I bought that I wish I could have changed is the desk itself. I had no plans 5 years ago to mod my desk the way I did. Had I have known I would have looked around for a desk more suited for what I had in mind. Either way I made use of what I had and it turned out ok.

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

I have modified a lot of things on this build, Of course the desk itself, cable management, the switches and aluminum box cover on back, the acrylic cover and trim pieces on top. I have cut bent and painted the original motherboard tray and rear I/O panel to fit. The video cards I have had apart and changed the thermal paste and gutted the brackets for more airflow.

12. Your 3DMark06 / 3DMark Vantage score (P+GPU)

12. My best 3d Mark 06 score was 27616 and best vantage score is 42672.

13. Do you have any Future updates planned ?

For sure, just don't know what yet, but I am far from finished.

Thanks so much Brian (buk355)
