    Truly fantastic project. Brings tears to my eyes--feels just like Fallout! Literally my only quip is that I think you should have used the Radioactivity sign (☢) instead of the Biohazard sign (☣).

    Not bad, if you can stand the width of the chassis. Aside from that, I'd like to see 2.5" bays and possibly some SATA backplanes (simplifying SATA power connectors etc). Otherwise, even just a SATA...

    Sandy Bridge & Ivy Bridge were not. I suppose Haswell will depend on the system prices. How much will the 4770K, a Z87 motherboard, and say 4x4GB DDR3 run? And how much impact will it have on AA/AAA...

    I would go so far as to say just a dual intake. Make sure it's filtered--several times over. Broad mesh filter on the outside, finer mesh filter on the inside. You'll want to keep things protected...

    Is the VRAM cooled sufficiently? Just because the GPU itself is fine, doesn't mean the VRAM is. Otherwise, it may be the sign of a failing graphics card, a bad cable, or a bad control board on the...

    There's the 3570K for $180 (Ivy Bridge, no HT) and a Xeon E3-1230 V2 (Ivy Bridge, HT enabled) for $245. Considering the prices, the 3570K is more bang-for-your-buck, at least when looking at CPUs...

    I like the V650, but I worry about graphics card clearance. My HD5850 won't fit. Nor will a GTX 670. 1.5cm more and we could fit 9.5" cards, at least. I consider that restriction an unfortunate flaw.
