A bargain case for only 5 bucks. I like the blue color.

also you can further mod the case for better air flow by removing the hdd and cdrom case slot. like :

a little dremeling, a little drilling, a little re-drilling and now there is lots of space and a nice cradle for a gpu.

Fantastic build.  Why do we keep going back to vintage? lol.  I just took apart my Z68 this year, and all I want to do is put it back together.  It wasn't too bad at almost 1440. 
Can't wait to see how the case comes out!

I suppose people like vintage just like many people like old antique cars.

i think i have all the parts i still need ordered, including a support request to noctua for a free cpu fan mounting clip set. i requested yesterday using their super easy web form, and they emailed me today that it is on the way. i didnt pay the fee for express service, since the last time i did a request i had the free mounting kit i required in 8 days via dhl.
 
and to celebrate a successful re-repair, in goes the 980ti. i put in the riser cable in so now i can leave the gpu installed while i wait for the parts.

i still have a couple minor things coming in the mail but the unsponsored noctua cooling solution is near completion. pretty much all the parts installed, just need to mount the ssd, a few more cable ties and buy some nail polish. i may exercise myself over to the dollar store this afternoon and check their selection.
