    Out of curiosity, what happened with first one? Do they break often?
    I thought at one point of buying digital dremel too, but really couldn't justify to myself difference of price.

    It's just that it looks too much like an alarm clock's backlight to me... IDK just my opinion.

    Cut lots of holes for rad and cable management, "extended" the feet and reinstated front I/O ports.

    I prefer the contrasting black and silver color scheme for the case exterior.

    That waterblock stands out... just a bit.

    woot,missed your build been a bit busy! Actually like this build alot, your sturdy case suits it quite well!

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
