  I call this Bullhozzer because a console gamer would have to be drunk to not enjoy the gaming experience on this over a console, Highlights of the build include dual-core with hyper threading and a 1050ti based on a z170 platform. Drawbacks are Low storage (but its ssd) and a cheap psu (comes with case, which is also cheap lol)

Yes, but this one doesn't have "What is the best m-ITX configuration you can come up with", so the Micro ATX Mobo won't meet the requirements.

Just checking, but my post does meet the formatting requirements?

And another question, due to the nature of prices changing - when this thread is closed, and when the staff checks the builds - will they also double check the prices of components we've selected? I ask this, because I've had to go back and edit my post a few times as items that were on sale, go off sale and over-budget my built.

I don't want to be disqualified because my (and for example,) case which is currently 9.99 on Newegg after rebate, but only until the 27th of this month (two days before the post is closed.) Among other items I used for the contest.

Your formatting works. As long as the build is within budget after coupons, rebates, etc. the build is good under the rules for this *special edition* of Best Builds. These configurations are meant to be timely, that is specific to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. For this specific reason we are accepting rebates etc. for this edition.

Make sure to follow all the rules. If a category requests a monitor, headset, etc. please be sure to include it in that category. If it doesn't leave those items out.
