8. Does your PC live up to your expectations ?
I really was impressed by the power.  Like I said I work in CAD (several variants) 6-10 hours a day and moved from using an ancient Quadro to dual 5850s.  It was nice being able to whip around some of my more complex models.  I wish enabling AA was easier in StarCraft II for team Ruby but after the appropriate Catalyst update these cards work magic.

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

It seems like I should save my response for question eleven, but the short answer is the chassis.  On top of the design elements it was built for the most efficient loop possible, and I think I achieved that. 

10. What sucks and should not have been bought?

Excellent question.  The rig started out being crafted from 100% 5mm aluminum.  After I had finished the panels I realized that I had made an error in one, with no way to correct it.  With my time running out I had to switch to the acrylic I had on hand.

The inner lip that magnetically holds the side panel in is not actually black acrylic, but clear acrylic I had to paint the back side of.  I'm kind of answering the question in reverse, but I wish I either started with acrylic (so I could have purchased what I needed) or not messed up the aluminum. 

Also the first power supply I used exploded. =)
