    Thanks! Look forward to the ITX pics. This was my first venture into going small. I've used nothing but mid-towers to full-towers in the past, and the PC I had just before this one was in a gargantuan Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case. You just can't comprehend how large one of those beasts are until you see one in person. Ridiculous. It's a piece of furniture, not a case.

    I'm loving the small form factor, although I didn't love the amount of work I had to put into it. But I definitely won't be going back to a behemoth after this.

    Mine is gutted and waiting for a new owner. I'm pretty sure I could fit my current PC, case and all, inside the Cosmos.

    So it's over a year later, but thought I"d post an update on my gaming rig. Over the last year it has been very solid with no real issues other than typical random Windows crap, nothing major though. I recently added a 4K TV for gaming so had to upgrade the video card, but everything else is still in tact. That was really the idea with this build, get a solid foundation and then just use video card upgrades to keep up with my gaming demands.

    I've moved to a couple 780 Ti cards in SLI and they handle the 4K resolutions very well. I'm still very happy with the machine and the approach that I took with this build, it has been my best experience by far with a computer build.
