Seven years ago, I got my first computer. Since then I have had two more, with each incarnation more "intelligent" than the one before. Today I present revision 2 of Einstein III. I recently completed a $500 upgrade to the current Einstein which I built last year. Here are some pictures. I also spent 2 hours rewiring my computer today.

Didn't you lose on the dual-channel memory mode because of the big CPU cooler looking at the way the memory modules are arranged?

The AN8 is weird in that adjacent memory modules run in dual channel mode. I also double checked in the bios. Thanks for pointing that out though.

Nothing too impressive to look at. A fairly clean build, which is good compared to what I usually see. Wiring is rather good however somewhat flawed in an aspect that some of the wires are in rather unsafe positions (i.e. sidepanel fan).

Don't really like how the front IO wiring is done, and how that sound card is just hiding that mess there though. You could fix that up.
