ty ty ty - yeah that video is even now out of date - lol, I need to do another asap to show the newest iteration that this thread is showing, including the new PCB covers for the GTX 580's and the Custom one I made for the XFI card. Here is another shot I took I liked - just got in the lighting kits and muslins, etc - so will be playing with actual lighting and things later today.

Sitting here I look over at the temps and was happy. Not only does Frank look cool - he stays that way as well. Fans are on auto based on temps, things pretty quiet right now, according to the sound meter on the iPhone app I am sitting in around 15dba noise before I turn on Pandora radio of course - so fan noise is minimal. I have the ERM on pump speed 3 ( range is 1-10), Fans on auto, and the chassis fans run as "Smart fans" as well and increase as the temps increase. So things are quiet and still nice and cool.

Damn man that is one neat and clean build you got there, @ EVGA Crew --> Please do give this builder a Blue Ribbon! It's such a beautiful sight!   
Where did you place the main reservoir for these two tube ends?

I could imagine the Dupont Registry magazine doing a cover story on your computer room. The ultimate in high-tech man-caves! That Crysis background spread across 3 screens is nifty, as well. I never tire of browsing through the new pics you've added...

I have grow quite fond of these three monitors - now I just wish it were three 30" 2560x1600 monitors - but right now at 24" each and 1920x1080 each they work well. Gaming is so much better IMO. For a while I wanted to go back to a single monitor because I was just not used to it and it was almost too much information at once, especially in games - then you go to a single screen and feel like you have blinders on. So once you get used to it, you will never want to go back to a single screen set up again IMO.

Glad to share what Frank's outcome finaly became - the cable sewing is something you have to WANT to do because it really does take time and attention to detail to pull off. I still at times walk into my office and sit down and go "Wow, I actually work here". Yeah, its my office by day and my gaming man cave at night. I really do spend about 80% of my weeks in this room alone between work and gaming. So I wanted it to be as comfortable as possible while having the power, the look and feel I wanted. Now I just want bigger screens. @ everryone else - thanks for checking out Frank - please give him a +1 if you feel so deserving in ModRigs.
