I have just completed my project of building a computer that is inside of, what is basically, a custom made shadow box/ picture frame. I like the idea of letting the computer components speak for themselves. From the motherboard's complex circuits, to the simple exterior of a HDD, I have always felt it is such a shame to tuck these beautiful parts away into a computer case or worse, ruin them in a gaudy case that still just ends up under a desk. Art is meant to be hung on a wall for display. And that is exactly the idea that I'm trying to bring to life. I have installed Battlefield 4 to check out how well it could handle it and to keep an eye on temps. After playing with all but a couple of settings all the way up for about an hour or so the CPU's highest recorded temp was 39.5C, GPU max was 53C. The motherboard has 3 sensors, highest was was 47C. Specs: This computer was built for mid-high performance. I wanted this computer to have a least some bite to live up to its bark.

Watching the vid, I like it most with the red LED's. Has the front panel been changed for the last photo ? Looks tons better with the darker looking surround.
