Project Black Toxicity
This is a build for a friend of mine that was in dire need of an upgrade. The entire build was centered around the theme of matte black with accents of white, and the obvious green glow from the cathodes 
. Turned out to be one of the best looking, and most fun, builds I've done. Enjoy the pics!

- Mildly overclock i7 2600K from 3.4 GHz to 4.2 GHz.
- Replace fan screws with #8-32 screws & nuts, using snap caps on visible ones (hate the self-tapping screws that chew into the fans).
- Fix Silverstone's broken window holding system. They use extremely tiny washers to hold the window in place (picture here), had to buy #6 x 9/16" fender washers so the window wouldn't pop out.
