Performed Mods:
The tech station was built using parts from Lowes. Followed the HSPC Top Deck design to build up this tech station. The hard drives were mounted upside down underneath the top layer. The 92mm fan cools the hard drives. The two 120mm fans cooler the memory, chipsets and add additional CPU cooler airflow. The PSU and DVD drive were also mounted to the tech station to make it LAN portable.

Nice work, 10/10 buddy! I really like the hanging hard drives. SSD would have been a nice touch.

Edit: waiting 17 minutes to vote, stupid rules. There we go, 1st to vote!

Thanks Jess! Right now my max benchable is 4.2. I'm sure I can go higher. I've yet to go above 1.35v so I know there is room. I'll see what it will do tonight. Is it fast.. thats an understatement. This is the fastest machine I've ever used/seen in person, period. It is ridiculous how much faster this is than my Phenom II rig was... its not even a close comparison lol.
