Finally finished!

Thanks mang... if it helps, the thing was such an outrageously bad idea cost wise that I have been so broke since I've almost needed to sell parts of it, or even all of it...

I intend to dismantle it in a month or so and paint the heatsinks. Honestly though, since the sleeving job was not in my mind prior to the build starting it was not a consideration. I'm going to wait until I am ready to form my base/PSU shroud.

You're damn right it does!!!

;-)

I'm wondering the same. :p

Titan is SO overrated...

Titan X wasn't out when I built the rig, and the 980's really seemed to be going toe-to-toe with the first gen Titans. In re storage.... I like to keep my entire Steam library installed... just in case I get a wild hair up my buttocks to play the original AC.

Love the case myself... best one I've had airflow wise by a long shot. Believe me, I am using up some space in back of the MB... by return tube runs back there, and I have the drain valve at a junction in that line. The RAID0 is really just implemented for much the same reason people used to use it... to achieve a larger drive at a lower cost. I'm not really worried about data loss as all work related materials I access via RDC. Even when I am working on stuff off of that network I have backup running off the array. If it dies I am out a chunk of change to be sure, but honestly I haven't had a drive die out on its own for nearly thirteen years or more.

Thanks for lookin' out though, I appreciate the LinusTech referral as I have a tremendous amount of respect for what's produced on that site.

8.1... it's provided by my employer so at least considering all the other expense I had with this thing this one aspect was a no-brainer at zero dollars.
