haha, same. I like this build. I am considering this for myself. Thanks for submitting. :)
 
I'm kind of torn on the case though. What I'm wanting from a case is great air flow and filters, side window, and cleaner/more conservative look similar to this one. Anyone out there have a case like this description that they would recommend?
 


Don't get me wrong, I do like the case but I feel like I could be spending the money a little more wisely. The case you suggested for example instantly saves almost $40, it's a good looking case and has everything I'm looking for. I appreciate the recommendations you've provided CTurbo. This has been very helpful.
