9. What's the best part of your rig?

Aside from the performance, I like the way it looks. There are many awesome desk builds out there, the artwork and having an integrated UPS makes this one unique.

10. Any dislikes, things you should not have bought?

Only dislikes are slight imperfections in some areas where I haven't finished the wood off as well as I'd like. The components are all outstanding, no regrets with any of the hardware.

11. Did you modify anything ?  cases/video cards/other? Did you do it yourself? Walk us through it.

The chassis mostly started out as a dinner table and a big sheet of plywood so it is modded from the ground up. Because of the unusual layout I had to make my own wiring loom to control banks of fans, lighting, Asus ROG panel, UPS controls, etc… The painting in the right hand compartment was painted for this project in the Czech Republic by my friend Petra Viltová. As for hardware mods, the motherboard has a full board block for cooling and I had to disassemble the APC UPS and modify the control panel and wiring.

12. Your 3DMark scores

30277 in Fire Strike and 13398 in Time Spy, it could probably perform slightly better but I'm no overclocking guru.

13. Do you have any future updates planned ?

Nothing planned, although there is a 1080Ti being released soon and I'm a financially irresponsible manchild.

14. Does your rig or mod have a name ?

The Volcano, it's very powerful, can produce some heat and the speakers shake the house… oh yeah and there's a painting of a volcano inside it.
