holy crap at the size of the block on the CPU.... You be wanting to lie that flat when transporting that mate. Nice clean build and a good spec as well


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

I have the same on my rig, pretty much means I can't put a fan in the side panel.

Nice Rig Maniac, can't beat having a table full of new tech sitting there just waiting to be put together, apart from turning it on for the 1st time & it all working properly that is.

I got a side fan to fit with a little modding of the gpu support bracket.
