Got some things in and some things accomplished today.
It's the little things—going for an all-out black theme (have a couple other things up my sleeve as far as that's concerned)—and I'm making it count down to every last nut and bolt. Also replacing the screws with allen heads for a cleaner look.
960 sittin pretty, with the Scythe fan and feet poking through. Glad I went with the 960, as the price was only $30 more than the 850 Evo M.2, and the performance is absolutely mind blowing
Allen heads are countersunk differently than the original screws, and I can't decide if I want to modify the panels to make them flush or not. I kind of like the heads poking up just a bit
Polarized C7 connector—soldered, heat shrunk, and ready for installation
Power brick stuck to the side panel. It might not be the most beautiful or elegant solution, but it's what works best since I replaced the GPU fans with a Scythe. This means the brick will get some external cooling, but it didn't get all that hot in any of my testing.
Button sitting in the luxurious bezel. I've been running with no bezel for a few months, and I forgot just how good looking it was.
Cut away the foam that was needed, got a good test fit in.
Beer and benchmarks—both are going smoothly
