Observations:
Existing system is too noisy and the GPU's tend to get a bit hot.

Requirements of Project "CUBEIT":
Cooler running of CPU & GPU's.
Totally silent PC (or next to silent).
Install existing components into a case that will provide more than sufficient internal space.
New case to provide many years of use with support for expandability and equipment adjustments as technology advances.
Case can look real funky too.
