Mods:
Months of planning before deciding on hardware to use for the build. Interior spray painted case. No Stock heat sinks anywhere. Passive build relies solely on negative pressure under airflow path cooling (similar to most dell systems). Custom spray painted gold I/o back side and pci parts. Black spray paint for some pci parts for black pcb.
Time to make this? Over a month.
How much I spent? Too embarrassing to say, you do the math.
Why it's called it PITA? It was PITA during installation, that's why.
