  1. Hey... your CPU cooler did not line up with the motherboard! It's on a 2-degree tilt!

    Just kidding... :D

    Excellent job making this a picture tutorial!

    Your Antec P183 case was designed very well. I use an Antec 300 and it doesn't have any hole on the panel that supports the motherboard, thus cannot run the wires on the other side.

  2. I will post the exact amount soon. I would guess about 1200. to 1300. at this time. The monitors are the same existing ones from the previous machine I will be using again. I have a desk setup and a shelf above desk. I will post a better pic of it when done.

  3. I did work to get that a little better. The heat pipes were hitting the lock down bracket. Made sure the base of the cooler had full contact with the cpu and it covered completely and seated it permanently. Wait, maybe it was the corona :D

  8. Installed the ssd into the adjustable bay. The screws can be easily moved to adjust for the size of the drive. Notice the silicone gaskets. They are found throughout the case to reduce noise.
