Looks like a winner to me.
I would have included some internal lighting because of the 760T's large side window and added the CD option to Recovery, but those are nits and easily corrected if you felt the need. Good Luck. |

I must have missed the recovery disk option during building.
Thanks for the feedback. |

Great Gaming Build Lights, Always Lights even though after a week you forget about the Lights Congrats post Photos ps. On my first system I chose the 50G partition and factory reset. Used it many times and love it. Usually took like 6 min. to recover. Then the infamous Windows updates also came with the partition/Factory reset and the disk in the DS Manual. but that was 6 years ago. |

Pay homage to the shipping gods and burn something (legal, of course) to keep the gremlins away.
