    No worries, Laine. I know what you mean. It IS very blue Looks pretty good in real life. Just trying to figure out which case to put this in. I've got something else I'm dying to put on the Torture Rack.

    Thanks again, matsjuw.

    If you're going to redo the cube, why don't you put this system in it as well?
    One red side and one blue side.

    Still, single-system builds are more mobile and I guess more fun to do, though decision.

    Or why not a scratch-build that looks like an ice cube?
    I've played around with plexi, a dremel and some spraypaint and i came up with what looks like authentic rock surface, so ice shouldn't be impossible.

    Heck, that torture rack is perfection, what ever you put it in it'll look awesome!

    You know, I have thought of turning the cube into a true duality build. I'd love to do Intel on one side, and AMD on the other. Just can't come up with good color combos.

    And, as far as a scratch build - I've been looking for a nice plexi case, but haven't found one that totally satisfies me. I'm not sure I'm up to doing the whole thing from scratch. Ultimately the AMD setup is to end up as a HTPC build - it may have an interim home first.

    I kind of like that plexi DD tower like the one DB used for his server build.
