HAHA Darkness!
Intro:
I finished a build a few months back that included squeezing a Dual Loop PA120.2+PA120.3 setup into a TJ-07. This was a very very tight fit and after I managed to fry one of my 2900XTs, I decided it was time for a rebuild. The main goal of the rebuild is to have some actual work room to work in the case, and also a silent computing experience. As you can see in the picture below, my previous rig was pretty blinged out, however this build isn't so much. I was a bit rushed for time, so some things could have been a bit more tidy, but it think it turned out alright. Also this is only my 2nd custom W/Cing build, so advice is welcome. Also I've been naming all of my recent builds after Dave Chappelle characters.
